Circular Economy in Material Science Recycling & Reuse of Electronic Metal Wastes

Circular Economy (CE) adoption in material science emphasizes sustainable design and resource recovery through biodegradable polymers, modularity, and cradle-to-cradle (C2C) principles. These innovations aim to extend product lifespans, minimize maintenance, and facilitate material recovery, thereby reducing dependence on virgin resources and limiting waste. This report explores the application of CE principles to e-waste management and …

Effect of Mortar Joint Thickness on the Mechanical Properties of Clay Brick Masonry Walls

Mortar joint thickness significantly influences the mechanical behavior of masonry structures, yet its quantitative effects remain inadequately characterized. This study investigates the impact of three mortar joint thicknesses (10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm) on the compressive and shear strength of clay brick walls through comprehensive experimental testing. Eighteen wall specimens were constructed using …

Ethical Considerations in Medical Imaging Navigating Patient Rights, Data Integrity and Technological Innovation

Medical imaging has become a cornerstone of modern healthcare, enabling early diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring across a wide spectrum of conditions. From the first X-ray images in the late 19th century to contemporary applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology, imaging technologies have transformed clinical practice. However, these advances raise profound ethical concerns. …

Oil Field Waste Treatment and Its Cost Assessment

Oil field wastewater—commonly referred to as produced water—is the largest waste stream associated with petroleum production, characterized by high concentrations of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, dissolved salts, and chemical additives. Its complex and variable composition poses significant environmental and regulatory challenges, particularly in sensitive ecosystems like Nigeria’s Niger Delta. This study conducts a comprehensive technical and …

A Feasibility Study on Power Generation and Transport Sector Transition

Sri Lanka is almost fully electrified now, but we still lean hard on imported fossil fuels to keep the lights on. That’s risky, it leaves us open to price swings, blackouts, and environmental fallouts. And with energy demand climbing by nearly 5% every year, switching to renewables isn’t just smart, it’s urgent. This study focuses …
