Power Resource Allocation Algorithm for Dual-Function Radar–Communication System by Yue Xiao, Zhenkai Zhang, Xiaoke Shang

“…In this paper, a power allocation algorithm of dual-function radar–communication system with limited power is proposed to obtain better overall system performance measured by the weighted summation of radar signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and communication channel capacity. First, a power allocation model is established to maximize the radar SINR and communication channel capacity with limited transmitted power. …”

Enhanced Performance of the Composite of FeMgAl-Layered Double Hydroxide and Rice Husk Biochar to Adsorb Heavy Metal Ions of Lead and Cadmium in Aqueous Solutions by M. T. Amin, A. A. Alazba, M. Shafiq, A. A. Khan

“…The equilibrium contact time was estimated at 15 and 60 min, for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively, with high removal efficiencies and adsorption capacities upon immediate contact. Within the observed range (0–100 mg·L−1) of initial metal concentrations, the removal efficiencies decreased constantly using both adsorbents, while 50 or 60 mg·L−1 of Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively, was estimated as the optimum values due to a steady increase in the adsorption capacities with composite adsorbent presenting a better efficiency, twice of the metal uptake capacity compared with FeMgAl/LDH. …”
