Human Health Risk Assessment From Exposure to Toxic Metals in Soils and Leafy Vegetables in Smallholder Farms of Northeastern Brazil

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed human health risks associated with exposure to potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in soils and leafy vegetables cultivated in smallholder agricultural systems in Northeastern Brazil. Soil and vegetable samples were collected from 18 agricultural areas and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel

Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of sea level, coastal and vegetation changes along the southern Solway Firth, United Kingdom

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Holocene relative sea level (RSL) changes were reconstructed from four sites along the less‐studied southern Solway Firth. A multiproxy approach, including lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical analyses, combined with radiocarbon dating, produced ten sea level index points (SLIPs).

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...

Progress Toward Efficient Wide‐Gap Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 Thin‐Film Solar Cells

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Wide‐gap Cu (In,Ga)(S,Se)2 thin‐film solar cells are studied in view of their performance, limitations, and opportunities for further optimization. Different sources of open circuit voltage limitations were discussed and weighted. Interface recombination appears the main recombination channel, which however can be influenced heavy alkali treatment ...

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Soil properties and road proximity likely influence plant and bacterial traits and diversity more than habitat size in small urban greenspaces

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global decline in biodiversity can be partly ameliorated by sympathetic design of green spaces within urban environments. This includes roundabouts on road systems. This study utilised a combination of approaches to assess levels of plant and bacterial diversity in roundabouts of varying size, soil characteristics and habitat complexity.

Electronic Correlation Effects in the Response of Graphene and MoS2 Monolayers to the Impact of Highly‐Charged Ions

physica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
The response of graphene and MoS2 monolayers to highly‐charged impinging ions is investigated using nonequilibrium Green functions theory. Electronic correlations are found to have a significantly stronger influence on the ultrafast ion‐induced electron dynamics in MoS2 than in graphene.

Auger Parameter Analysis for TiN and AlN Thin Films via Combined In Situ XPS and HAXPES

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Auger parameter analysis provides in‐depth information about electronic and chemical bonding properties of TiN and AlN thin films, which are relevant across a wide range of technologies. Meaningful interpretation and analysis of Auger parameter of these materials have been hindered due to, among other reasons, the absence of reliable ...

Quantitative Model of Internal Analyzer Scattering in a Hemispherical Electron Analyzer and Its Application to Improve the Accuracy of the Transmission Function

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Internal scattering within hemispherical electron analyzers (HEA) is common when operating at low pass energies, where the instrument resolution of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy experiments are at their best.
