In the present study, the green solution potentials of unripe banana (musa sapientum) peel biomass were evaluated by using the adsorbent for the removal of Cd (II) and Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The batch method was employed: parameters such as pH, initial concentration, adsorbent dose and contact time were studied. Unripe banana peel was found

The poor compatibility between a thermoplastic matrix and natural fiber reinforcement has been a limitation in the optimization of natural fiber-filled composites. Electron beam irradiation is used to modify the structure of materials. However, most researches have focused on the effect of irradiation after the fabrication of composites. Hence, thi

Estimating functions have been used in estimating parameters of many continuous time series models. However, this method has not been applied to models involving count data. In this paper, we use quadratic estimating functions (QEF) to derive estimators for the joint estimation of the conditional mean and variance parameters of count data models, s
