Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Real-Time Duct Prediction and Propagation Analysis Using Genetic Algorithm-Based RFC and Parabolic Equation Method

open access: yesIEEE Access
This paper proposes a real-time prediction of the duct using a refractivity from clutter (RFC) method based on genetic algorithm (GA) and the parabolic equation (PE) method.

An atmospheric refractivity inversion method based on deep learning

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2019
An atmospheric refractivity inversion method based on deep learning is introduced. Atmospheric duct is an anomalous phenomenon of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere that affects the use of radio equipment, obtaining real-time atmospheric duct ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Communication of Business‐Nonprofit Collaborations and Environmental Legitimacy: Exploratory Insights From Italian Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborations with nonprofits can enhance firms' legitimacy, yet the relationship between their communication and corporate environmental legitimacy remains poorly understood. Furthermore, research lacks an analysis of the communication of business‐nonprofit collaborations through multiple actors' perspectives.

Inversion Method of Regional Range-Dependent Surface Ducts with a Base Layer by Doppler Weather Radar Echoes Based on WRF Model

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
Ground clutter caused by variations of atmospheric refraction environment can occur when the weather radar is observing precipitation systems, especially in the presence of a tropospheric duct.

CARS Temperature Measurements in a Hypersonic Propulsion Test Facility [PDF]

open access: yes
Nonintrusive diagnostic measurements were performed in the supersonic reacting flow of the Hypersonic Propulsion Test Cell 2 at NASA-Langley. A Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) system was assembled specifically for the test cell environment.

A method for comparing the performance of power plants for vertical flight [PDF]

open access: yes, 1952
A new method of power plant selection for vertical flight is proposed. It can be used to determine whether the performance of a rocket design can be improved by substituting for the rocket motor a different power plant such as a ramjet.

Fe‐Free Photocatalysis‐Self‐Fenton System for Ultraefficient Water Purification Enabled by Carbon Nitride With Strong Built‐in Electric Field

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This study reports a photocatalytic H₂O₂ production rate of 14.9 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹, representing a 22.2‐fold enhancement. Additionally, the Fe‐free PSFs achieved complete degradation of 100 mg·L⁻¹ tetracycline within 10 min across a wide pH range. ABSTRACT Photocatalytic‐self‐Fenton system (PSFs) hold great promise for water purification through in situ ...
