Polypropylene Nonwoven Fabric Filters Containing Graphene Oxide: A Streamlined Approach to Enhance Ultrafine Particulate Matter Removal

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
A simple graphene oxide coating strategy enhanced the ultrafine particulate matter (PM0.1) filtration performance of polypropylene nonwoven filters. The oxygen‐containing functional groups of graphene oxide improved particle capture while preserving low pressure drop and high air permeability.

Optimizing Ball‐Milled Composites for Fast Energy Release Under Shock Compression

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microparticle additives containing both Al fuel and oxidizer, fabricated by arrested reactive milling (ARM), could potentially increase the power of energetic materials such as HMX because they contain premixed fuel and oxidizer. Optimizing shock reactivity requires exploring a vast parametric space encompassing composition, milling parameters

Laboratory, simulated‐use, and field evaluation of non‐insecticidal consumer products for indoor pest management: a freeze‐spray aerosol, light traps, and an ‘insect repellent’ lamp

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Control efficacy of three types of non‐insecticidal consumer products were examined in laboratory, simulated‐use, and field conditions. Freeze spray and ‘repellent lamp’ showed limited efficacy, whereas various results in attraction in light trap were reported.

Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of fragmented urban landscapes on downwind precipitation by applying an innovative observation‐centered approach to an extensive rain gauge network in Belgium. The approach classifies the observations based on the upwind urban land cover fraction, and compares precipitation indices between rural‐ and urban‐labeled ...

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...
