This communication is dedicated to rectifying factual errors identified in a recent review article featured in this journal, with a specific emphasis on addressing errors related to the Temkin, Flory?Huggins, Sips, and Baudu isotherm models. By elucidating and clarifying these inaccuracies, we aim to uphold the integrity of scientific discourse and ensure the accurate dissemination of information within the scholarly community. ? 2024 Elsevier B.V.1 - PublicationComment on ?Highly efficient and sustainable cationic polyvinyl chloride nanofibrous membranes for removal of E. coli and Cr (VI): Filtration and adsorption?(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
;Chu K.H. ;Hashim M.A. ;Hayder G. ;Bollinger J.-C. ;7402453718 ;7005780117 ;5623966410035546414700This correspondence delves into deficiencies in the modeling work presented in a recent publication within this journal. It specifically asserts that (i) the authors employed flawed models for fitting adsorption data, and (ii) they neglected to take into account the conditions under which simplified models remain valid. ? 2024 Elsevier B.V.6 - PublicationA critique of Rajendran et al.?s ?A critical and recent developments on adsorption technique for removal of heavy metals from wastewater ? A review?(Elsevier Ltd, 2024)
;Chu K.H. ;Bollinger J.-C. ;740245371835546414700This critique examines a review article in this journal on adsorption techniques for removing metal ions from wastewater. The article is marred by several flaws, including tortured phrases, miscitations, incoherent statements, and factual inaccuracies. These problems weaken the article's clarity and reliability, raising doubts about the authors' understanding of the subject. As a result, the review's credibility is compromised, limiting its value as a reliable resource for researchers. This critique highlights these issues, stressing the importance of accuracy and rigor in scientific writing. ? 2024 Elsevier Ltd4 - PublicationEffect of Unprofessional Supervision on Durability of Buildings(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
;Yahaghi J.57190000250The durability of buildings which depends on the nature of the supervisory system used in their construction is an important feature of the construction industry. This article tries to draw the readers� attention to the effect of untrained and unprofessional building supervisors and their unethical performance on the durability of buildings. � 2017, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.12 - PublicationInvestigation of physical and chemical properties of potential edible and non-edible feedstocks for biodiesel production, a comparative analysis(Elsevier Ltd, 2013)
;Atabani A.E. ;Mahlia T.M.I. ;Anjum Badruddin I. ;Masjuki H.H. ;Chong W.T. ;Lee K.T. ;36987884200 ;56997615100 ;12544753000 ;57175108000 ;364489215008675851300Recently, non-edible vegetable oils have been considered as prospective feedstocks for biodiesel production. This is mainly attributed to their ability to overcome the problems of food versus fuel crisis related to edible oils. Globally, there are more than 350 oil-bearing crops identified as potential sources for biodiesel production. The evaluation of the physical and chemical properties of non-edible feedstocks is very important to assess their viability for future biodiesel production. Therefore, this paper aims to study the properties of some potential non-edible feedstocks. Moreover, the paper studies the physical and chemical properties of these promising crops and compares them with other edible oils. These oils include: crude Calophyllum inophyllum L. (CCIO), Jatropha curcas L. (CJCO), Sterculia foetida L. (CSFO), Croton megalocarpus L. (CCMO), Moringa oleifera L. (CMOO), patchouli (CPO), coconut (CCO), palm (CPaO), canola (CCaO), soybean (CSO) and Pangim edule (CPEO) oils. 14 Different properties have been determined and presented in this study. � 2013 Elsevier Ltd.3 - PublicationLow-carbon transition through a duty to divest: Back to the future, ahead to the past(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)

;Yahaghi J. ;Beddu S.B. ;Muda Z.C. ;57190000250 ;5581208050055812444000It is obligatory to educate student researchers before they start their work by teaching them about the various types of plagiarism and how to avoid them. It is also vital that research supervisors take into account the sources of data that are explored in their students� manuscripts. This article tries to draw the reader�s attention to the importance of avoiding all types of plagiarism in their research. � 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.4 - PublicationRectifying inaccuracies in adsorption modeling. Comment on ?amino- and sulfur-containing POSS for highly efficient and selective extraction of platinum group elements from acidic solution?(Elsevier Ltd, 2024)
;Chu K.H. ;Hashim M.A. ;Hayder G. ;Bollinger J.-C. ;7402453718 ;7005780117 ;5623966410035546414700In this critique, we address multiple shortcomings identified in a recent article published in this journal concerning the adsorption of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions from acidic solutions using a novel nanoadsorbent. The identified issues encompass erroneous model equations, unverified adsorption mechanisms, inappropriate application of simplified models, incorrect parameter units, and flawed thermodynamic parameters. ? 2024 Elsevier Ltd3 - PublicationThe Role of Engineering Ethics on Concrete Fire Safety(Springer Netherlands, 2018)

Comment on ?Magnetic Prussian blue nanoshells are controllable (sic) anchored on the surface of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets for efficient separation of radioactive cesium from water?(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
;Chu K.H. ;Hashim M.A. ;Hayder G. ;Bollinger J.-C. ;7402453718 ;7005780117 ;5623966410035546414700This correspondence critically examines and rectifies modeling deficiencies identified in a recent article published in this journal. Our analysis covers a range of models and issues, including the Temkin isotherm, the Flory?Huggins isotherm, the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, the intraparticle diffusion model, the Elovich kinetic model, and the computation of thermodynamic parameters. The elucidation and correction of these modeling issues contribute to a more accurate and reliable understanding of the studied phenomena, thereby enhancing the scientific rigor of the subject paper. ? 2024 Elsevier B.V.2 - PublicationUnethical Postgraduate Supervision(Springer Netherlands, 2017)
