A Survey on Green Designs for Energy Harvesting Backscatter Communications to Enable Sustainable IoT by Jiawang Zeng, Tianyi Zhang, Deepak Mishra, Jinhong Yuan, Aruna Seneviratne

“…The majority of Internet of Things (IoT) devices operate with limited energy resources, making it essential to prioritize sustainable carbon emissions and the adoption of energy-efficient IoT solutions. For this reason, backscatter communication (BackCom) devices are widely deployed because they are mostly passive devices that harvest energy from RF signals and modulate the information onto reflected signals by adjusting the impedance of the load. …”

Solvent extraction of europium(III) from technogenic solutions with the use of surfactants by N. V. Dzhevaga, O. L. Lobacheva

“…The advantages of the proposed method are the possibility of selective extraction of the target component from dilute solutions and the use of an easily available surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate). The efficiency of extraction of europium dodecyl sulfates was maximal in the pH range from 2.0 to 7.5, which reflects a weak dependence on the acidity of the aqueous phase. …”

Online Resource Allocation and Trajectory Optimization of STAR–RIS–Assisted UAV–MEC System by Xi Hu, Hongchao Zhao, Wujie Zhang, Dongyang He

“…Although traditional reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can improve wireless channel quality, they can only provide reflection services and have limited coverage. For this reason, we study a novel simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR–RIS)–assisted UAV–mobile edge computing (UAV–MEC) network, which can serve multiple users residing in the transmission area and reflection area, and switch between reflection and transmission modes according to the relative positions of the UAV, GUs, and STAR–RIS, providing users with more flexible and efficient services. …”
