Boosting Seawater Desalination by Ampere‐Level Nitrate Electroreduction On Defect‐Rich Ultrathin RuCu Alloy Nanostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Defect engineering of ultrathin RuCu alloy nanostructures has been successfully achieved to enhance ammonia electrosynthesis under indutrial‐level current density. Simultaneously, the stable ampere‐level operation of nitrate electroreduction on defective RuCu nanostructures can drive seawater desalination at an ultrafast salt removal rate, offering an ...

Timing matters: cloud cover and date influence probability of detecting nesting Chimney Swifts (Chaetura pelagica)

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2019
One third of bird species in North America need immediate conservation action. Effective management and recovery actions for species of conservation concern require accurate methods of monitoring species occurrence that limit the incidence of ...

Sacred Forest Degradation and Conservation: Resident Views of Nakpadjoak Forest in Togo, West Africa

Conservation
Historically protected by cultural traditions, sacred forests are now increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures, particularly in West Africa, where natural areas and wildlife populations have dwindled as human populations have increased ...

Impact of Oxygen Plasma Pre‐Treatment on Thermal Oxidation and Reliability of SiO2 on 4H‐SiC

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
We investigate how oxygen plasma pre‐treatment affects the thermal oxidation of silicon carbide. While plasma modification increases growth rates by 84%, it reduces dielectric breakdown strength by 18%. Our findings reveal that although plasma improves the interface state density, it introduces structural damage, highlighting a critical trade‐off ...

Using conspecific broadcast for Willow Flycatcher restoration

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2018
Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii) populations have been in decline across the western United States for decades. California populations are especially vulnerable with fewer than 500 pairs remaining in the state.

Microphone variability and degradation: implications for monitoring programs employing autonomous recording units

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017
Autonomous recording units (ARUs) are emerging as an effective tool for avian population monitoring and research. Although ARU technology is being rapidly adopted, there is a need to establish whether variation in ARU components and their degradation ...

Stacking the Deck? An Empirical Analysis of Agreement Rates Between Pro Tempore Justices and Chief Justices of California, 1977-2003 [PDF]

, 2006
The chief justice of California is empowered to select a pro tempore justice when one or more of the court\u27s regular justices are absent. Chief Justice Rose Bird was accused of using this power to manipulate case outcomes.

Strategies for Representing Tone in African Writing Systems [PDF]

, 1999
Tone languages provide some interesting challenges for the designers of new orthographies. One approach is to omit tone marks, just as stress is not marked in English (zero marking).

Direct Gravity‐Induced Modulation of Cardiac Conduction Pathways Evidenced Through Propagation Features in Electrophysiological Mapping

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A high‐density wearable body‐surface potential mapping array reveals how gravity reshapes cardiac conduction in real time. By resolving spatiotemporal delay patterns invisible to conventional ECG, the platform uncovers posture‐dependent electrophysiological adaptations across the thorax.
