Renewable and sustainable energy has an evolving story as the ongoing trade war in the word is influencing crude oil prices. Moreover, the global warming is an inevitable consequence of the worldwide increasing rate of fossil fuel utilization which has persuaded the governments to invest on the clean and sustainable energy resources. In recent years, the cost of green energy has tumbled, making the price of renewables competitive to the fossil fuels. Although, the hydrogen fuel is still extremely expensive compared to the crude oil price, investigations about clean hydrogen fuel production and utilization has been developed significantly which demonstrate the importance of the hydrogen fuel in the future. This article aims to scrutinize the importance of green hydrogen fuel production from solar/wind energy.

With the rapid increase of the construction volume of our country's landscape industry, the scale of the stock gardens is getting larger and larger. Later gardening maintenance technology needs to be constantly updated, and management modes and methods should be constantly innovated to meet the development needs of the maintenance market. The quality of maintenance and management in the later stage of green space construction is intuitively presented to the viewers through the quality of landscape. Therefore, improving the quality control ability of green space is the most important thing for the rapid development of garden enterprises. This paper combines the Internet with traditional maintenance quality management through Internet thinking, and achieves several important points in quality control, such as planning, traces, inspection, reporting and customer service evaluation, on the Internet management and control platform. Among them, the work plan combined with the maintenance calendar, the climate and soil and other environmental data from all parts of the country can better guide the field work; Maintenance trace record can provide data feedback through pictures, videos, etc.; Patrol function discovers green space problems in time, records data of basic problems of green space and feedback processing; And reporting function can provide customers with more convenient maintenance services. The addition of customer evaluation forms an important closed-loop for staff management and site quality from the perspective of customers. To some extent, this study solved the problems of insufficient quality standards and low efficiency under the traditional maintenance management mode, which accords with people’s service demand for greening maintenance at the present stage, and helps to enhance people’s recognition of greening personnel. With the help of Internet management and control thinking, we can better solve the pain points existing in the development of maintenance enterprises, provide new tools for the better development of maintenance industry, and lay a foundation for the growth of maintenance industry.

The production process of clean hydrogen by iso-octane steam reforming in a micro-reactor under atmospheric pressure, and the high temperature was investigated. The simulation is modeled using momentum conservation, mass conservation, and convection-diffusion equations, represented by the Navier-Stocks equations, the continuity equation, and the Steffan-Maxwell equation respectively. The resolution was performed using the COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a software. This discretizes the differential equations into their conservative form by the finite element method using an unconditionally stable scheme. An analysis of the hydrodynamics of the flow effect shows that the hydrogen produced by iso-octane reforming is proportional to the mixed flow Reynolds number.

Public transport coverage fails to keep pace with urbanization and urban expansion, which makes the “last kilometer" problem of residents’ travel increasingly prominent”. However, the practice has proved that microcirculation public transportation plays an important role in expanding the coverage of public transportation and promoting the integration of public transportation. Therefore, this paper takes a city bus community as an example. Firstly, it analyses the bus travel demand of commuters connecting to the subway station during the early workday rush hours on basis of IC Big Data, obtains candidate stations of microcirculation bus lines through K-means clustering. Secondly, it establishes the model, the target of which is to minimize the cost residents' travel and bus operation, under the limited condition of walking distance, passenger number, station spacing and departure frequency. Finally, the genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal solution of the model, so it’s no doubt that the most feasible circular bus route is obtained. The results have positive significance for promoting the construction and operation of public transport integration and promoting the convenience and efficiency of public transport travel.

The main objective of this study is to generate accurate synthetic hourly solar radiation data by using an easily accessible open source data. In this regard, a new approach is proposed for estimation of synthetic hourly global solar radiation during the day by utilizing only annual solar energy data. First time in literature, a model has been developed for prediction hourly and daily solar radiation based on annual solar energy parameter in this study. Parameters of the model were generated and tested for Turkey and one of them was presented as a case study within this paper. Long term measured hourly horizontal solar irradiance data from a network of Turkish meteorological stations was used to calibrate the model function. The predictions are compared with the solar data available in literature for Turkey. The advanced simple new model is utilized in open source computer program and has the potential to be adapted to other countries.

Surfactant/alkali flooding is one of the best chemical flooding methods to enhance oil Recovery Factor (RF). In this research, Ionic Liquid/Alkali (ILA) mixtures were chosen to address the chemical injection technique. The selected Ionic Liquids (ILs), [EMIM][Cl], [THTDPH][Cl], [EMIM][Ac], [BzMIM][Cl], [DMIM][Cl], [BzMIM][TOS], [dMIM][TOS] and [MPyr][TOS], were introduced to investigate their efficiency in improving the extraction of heavy oil (14o API) from an unconsolidated sand pack at room conditions. Second, these ILs were mixed with synthetic formation brine (3.37 wt. % salts)/alkali (Sodium Bicarbonate [NaHCO3]). Then, 1 Pore Volume (PV) of these composites were injected and flushed with 2 PV of formation brine. The study discussed the influence of cation type, anion type, the structure of the ILs, and the effect of combining ILs and alkali on the RF. The results revealed that these ILs are efficient chemicals for enhancing the RF. ILs with shorter alkyl chain and more aromatic rings are noticeably efficient in enhancing the RF. Finding the right composition ([DMIM][Cl] + NaHCO3) of the chemical slug could increase the additional RF up to 31.55 (% OOIP). The recovery factor results supported by the effects of IL types on the viscosity, Surface Tension (SFT), and Zeta Potential (ZP) supported.

The current situation of Cairo metro stations, especially terminal stations and its surrounding areas, has bad financial revenue and bad effect on environment. It is a major factor in increasing of noise, traffic jam and air pollution, in addition to, spreading of street vendors, collecting of random parking around these terminal stations. Thus, this paper proposed a methodology helping to apply multilateral investments in metro terminal stations for getting extra profits and decreasing the bad environmental effect of terminal stations and its surrounding areas. Hence, Helwan-Metro station on line 1 has been considered as a case study. Number of passengers at peak time, their ages, and their destinations, have been considered by making a field survey and a questionnaire. After collecting data and finalizing the surveying questionnaire, primary studies were done to modify and introduce a new proposal for Helwan-Metro station. The initial cost of the proposed project is predicted by using Artificial Neural Network technique using Just NN software. The investment feasibility achieved by consideration of Life Cycle Cost analysis and calculation of Net Present Value (NPV) of the proposed project.

The prediction of formation pore pressure and fracture pressure gradients is a significant step towards the drilling plan. In this study, the formation pressures of twelve wells from NC98 field-Sirte Basin (Waha Oil Company) were calculated by employing empirical methods, Eaton’s equations, that depend on the real drilling and well-logging data. Regarding the results, the normal pore pressure in the NC98 field in Sirte basin is 0.437 Psi/ft, and it is extending from the top of the wells in the investigated area to 7,000 ft. A subnormal to normal pore pressure zone is noticed in the interval of 7,000 ft. to 9,000 ft. Then, slightly subnormal to somewhat abnormal (overpressure) region is seen from 9,000 ft. to 11,200 ft. Beyond to that depth and down to the top of the reservoir, the overpressure zone was clearly observed. Based on the results, the casing setting depth and the equivalent mud weight were simply determined for the area of study.

College of Geography and Environmental Science, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, ChinaChief editors are the souls of journals, and can guarantee a journal’s success by enhancing the efficiency of the manuscript submission and publication process through promptness and speedy response rates to authors. In this study, a total of 867 international journals—indexed by Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, and 567 Chinese journals—indexed by Chinese Science Citation Database and Chinese Social Science Citation Information database, were randomly selected to explore whether significant differences in the response rate and speed exist between chief editors. 639 chief editor email addresses were obtained for the international journals, whereas 357 email addresses were gathered for the Chinese journals. However, due to mail servers, only 274 international and 330 Chinese editors were successfully contacted. All messages contained a questionnaire geared to determine the total length of time required for the manuscript submission and publication process. After two months, a 100% response rate was achieved for international chief editors, while Chinese chief editors had a significantly lower rate (p < 0.01) of 30.6%. Nevertheless, for both international and Chinese chief editors, 66% and 58% provided a response within 12 hours, respectively. Although several reasons exist for the Chinese journals’ lagging behind international journals, this study demonstrates that the response rate of chief editors to authors may also be a contributing factor. Thus, chief editors of Chinese journals should enhance their response rate to improve the current situation and further contribute to Chinese journals’ success.
