Different international treaties, conventions, and protocols try to mitigate the impacts of global warming. However, new tools are constantly needed to achieve the sustainability of economies and the preservation of renewable resources. In response to this, green bonds arise providing a coherent solution that integrates both the industry and the environment. These bonds constitute a financial instrument allowing the collection of resources, with the only requirement of being invested in sustainable projects generating environmental and social well-being. This paper highlights Colombia's potential as an emerging market attractive for investments classified as green. This Colombian green market is expected to grow, due to the low amounts of GHG emissions compared to the industrialized countries and the richness in natural resources of the nation. However, to develop sustainable energy projects in Colombia, special instruments are required to enhance the promotion and financing of energy projects. For this reason, various financing alternatives to the traditional systems for the development of clean energy must be evaluated. This paper emphasizes the potential of green bonds to improve energy projects in Colombia and obtain additional benefits to reduce climate change through the use of sustainable renewable energies. Through a document review exercise in specialized literature and the application of a case study, the advantage of green bonds over other traditional mechanisms for financing initiatives for small and medium enterprises is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"1 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141004499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing global demand for cellular networks has resulted in the creation of new user equipment (UE) positioning systems that align with the network's momentum. Regrettably, all of these technologies are hindered by their incapacity to ascertain the location of the UE in distant regions. This article introduces a novel method utilizing Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting to precisely locate UEs in remote areas. The approach entails employing a proposed partitioning model with a high level of precision, incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning AI/ML in its fundamental state to reduce the search area. Furthermore, two algorithms are suggested: The first aims to enhance the efficiency of the battery with limited capacity by decreasing the frequency of measurements transmission. The second utilizes Jaccard similarity and incorporates the prefix filtering technique to determine matches. The algorithm is used to speed up the process of matching the fingerprint recorded in the fingerprint database with the fingerprint captured in real time. The results shows that it can reduces the transmission rate by 77.08% and achieves the lowest error rate of 35.34 m. Additionally, it exhibits a response time of 8 seconds.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"26 38","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, since 2011, subscribers in the industry have had a mixed experience with the license issue due to problems with telecom companies' exploitative tendencies and antics, which make it difficult for customers to acquire reliable and reasonably priced telecoms services. With a focus on the institutional and legal safeguards put in place by the government to ensure that the operators abide by the licensing and regulation powers granted to them by the law, the study essentially examines how licensing affects competition among telecom operators and the expansion of mobile telecom networks in Nigeria. The paper's methodology adopted the documentary approach, and the data were ostensibly gathered from secondary sources and examined in terms of substance. Neo-liberal theory of the state provided a sufficient theoretical foundation for the examination of the study. The paper's findings demonstrate that while the expansion of Nigeria's mobile telecom networks is aided by the use of licensing to promote competition among telecom operators, consumers' access to affordable and high-quality telecommunications services is restricted by the exploitative tendencies and antics of telecom companies. The paper's suggestions were based on these findings, and one of them was that Telecommunications service tariffs must always be cost-oriented and reflect the actual costs borne by operators to provide the services in question.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aims to create novel photocatalyst frameworks for nanocomposites that were synthesized from biogenic waste and used to photodegrade methylene blue (MB) in wastewater under visible light. The activated carbon from date seeds was calcinated at a temperature of 700°C for two hours, and its surface was improved using zinc oxide nanoparticles and calcium oxide nanoparticles manufactured from eggshells at 900oC. XRD, FT-IR, SEM, BET, and TEM analyses were used to characterize the produced nanocomposites. The synthesized nanocomposite photocatalytic activity was evaluated by degrading MB dyes, its model of water pollution. The results showed that the nanocomposite CaO/AC/ZnO has a mesoporous structure with great sorption capability. Also, the photodegradation efficiency of MB using AC, CaO, AC/ZnO, and CaO/AC/ZnO nanocomposite was 33.23, 37.58, 54.61, and 88.92%, respectively, after100 min of sunlight irradiation indicating that photodegradation efficiency increases by improving the surface properties of AC. The CaO/AC/ZnO nanocomposite exhibited a 96.7% removal efficiency of MB following 120 min of visible light radiation exposure. Therefore, the CaO/AC/ZnO nanocomposite has a promising opportunity to function as a versatile and effective photocatalyst for photodegradation of organic dyes in wastewater.","PeriodicalId":301862,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology","volume":"39 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140743477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
