The paradigm of the Next Generation cellular network (6G) and beyond is machine-type communications (MTCs), where numerous Internet of Things (IoT) devices operate autonomously without human intervention over wireless channels. IoT’s autonomous and energy-intensive characteristics highlight effective energy efficiency (EEE) as a crucial key perform...

The use of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has increased considerably worldwide, generating large amounts of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) of which only 17% is treated. The processing and extraction of metals from printed circuit boards (PCBs) of WEEE is done by a combination of physical and chemical methods, which beco...

Invasive alien species (IAS) are considered a major cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. The bloody-red shrimp (Hemimysis anomala), an invasive exotic species of the Mysidae family originating from the Ponto-Caspian region, has recently established in peri-alpine lakes. The proliferation of this species is likely to affect both native species and ...

Hemimysis anomala, an invasive alien species (IAS) of the Mysidae family native to the Ponto-Caspian region, has recently established in peri-alpine lakes. In one hand, the proliferation of this IAS is likely to significantly affect lake ecosystems through its competition with planktivorous species. In another hand, this species might have a positi...

E-waste is the world’s fastest growing and most valuable domestic waste stream. The increasing production of e-waste is driving elevated levels of export from developed to developing countries. Although countries worldwide are actively recognising the issues around e-waste and introducing policies, legislation or regulations governing e-waste, a la...
