Monitoring and modeling of household air quality related to use of different Cookfuels in Paraguay. [PDF]

, 2019
In Paraguay, 49% of the population depends on biomass (wood and charcoal) for cooking. Residential biomass burning is a major source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) and carbon monoxide (CO) in and around the household environment. In July 2016, cross-

DFT Insight Into Physical Properties of Halide Ions Replacements in Oxo‐Selenate Halide Compounds for Photovoltaic Application

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Using density functional theory (CASTEP, GGA–PBE), the structural, electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of YSeO₃X (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) compounds are systematically investigated. The materials have exhibited structural stability, tunable band gaps, strong optical absorption, anisotropic ductile behavior, and promising potential for ...

Airborne measurements of western U.S. wildfire emissions: Comparison with prescribed burning and air quality implications [PDF]

, 2017
Wildfires emit significant amounts of pollutants that degrade air quality. Plumes from three wildfires in the western U.S. were measured from aircraft during the Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling by Regional ...

Solid Biofuel Usage and Households' Behavior Toward Energy Choice in Northwest Ethiopia

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study analyzed household energy choice behavior in northwest Ethiopia using an integrated energy stacking and decision‐making framework. Evidence shows dominant reliance on solid biomass and a fuel‐stacking pattern, while urban residences, higher income, and education increase clean energy adoption, highlighting the need for pro‐poor, context ...

Renewable Energy Use, Agricultural Productivity, and Economic Expansion Impact on Environmental Sustainability in India

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research aims to explore the effects of agricultural productivity and the use of renewable energy sources on India's CO2 emissions while taking economic expansion into concern based on data during 1985–2022. This study applies the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique, dynamic‐ordinary least square (DOLS), fully‐modified ...

Study Protocol for a Stepped-Wedge Randomized Cookstove Intervention in Rural Honduras: Household Air Pollution and Cardiometabolic Health [PDF]

, 2019
Growing evidence links household air pollution exposure from biomass-burning cookstoves to cardiometabolic disease risk. Few randomized controlled interventions of cookstoves (biomass or otherwise) have quantitatively characterized changes in exposure ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Evolutionary patterns and structural divergence of CENH3 in legumes: Implications for haploid induction breeding

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated
