Impact investing in biodiversity conservation with bonds: An analysis of financial and environmental risk

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 353-368, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Impact investments have the dual goals of generating profit and environmental and/or social impact from the same project or enterprise. This article examines recent impact investments in biodiversity conservation—specifically, debt finance in the form of conventional bonds and impact bonds.

Brown Dwarf Companions to White Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
Brown dwarf companions to white dwarfs are rare, but recent infra-red surveys are slowly reveal- ing examples. We present new observations of the post-common envelope binary WD0137-349, which reveals the effects of irradiation on the ~ 0.05M* secondary, and new observations of GD 1400 which show that it too is a close, post-comon envelope system.

Hydroxyl radical enhanced carbon dots fluorescence quenching immunoassays for simultaneous detection of six kinds of antibiotics

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, Volume 1, Issue 3-4, Page 212-223, December 2022., 2022
A label‐free fluorescence quenching immunoassays using hydroxyl radical‐sensitive carbon dots as fluorescence probe was established for simultaneous extraction and highly sensitive detection of six wide‐spectrum antibiotics (nitrofuran metabolites, chloramphenicol, and florfenicol) in animal‐derived food.

The First Y Dwarf Data from JWST Show that Dynamic and Diabatic Processes Regulate Cold Brown Dwarf Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is now observing Y dwarfs, the coldest known brown dwarfs, with effective temperatures T _eff ≲ 475 K. The first published observations provide important information: not only is the atmospheric chemistry out of ...

Selection of the promising accessions of jamun (Syzygium cumini (L.) skeels) based on pomological characterizations

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 470-480, January 2023., 2023
The obtained results are useful for designing conservation strategies for the germplasm as well as implementing breeding programs such as introducing cultivars with different goals such as early or late ripening and seedless, non‐astringent, large, and deeper color‐fruits.

Multi‐proxy reconstruction of the Holocene vegetation and land use dynamics in the Julian Alps, north‐west Slovenia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 107-122, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Small mountain lakes are natural archives for understanding long‐term natural and anthropogenic impact on the environment. This study focused on long‐term (last ca. 13 000 years) vegetation changes and sedimentary processes in the catchment area of Lake Planina pri jezeru (1430 m a.s.l.) by using mineralogical, geochemical and palynological ...

Cost‐effective in‐mine seismic experiments to image platinum deposits and associated geological structures at Maseve platinum mine, South Africa

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 572-589, December 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The detection of mineral deposits and their related geological structures is of great importance to the mining industry as structures (such as dykes and faults) can affect the safety, cost and efficiency of mining. With the goal of testing cost‐effective seismic methods for mineral exploration and mining, active and passive seismic experiments

PICASO 3.0: A One-dimensional Climate Model for Giant Planets and Brown Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Upcoming James Webb Space Telescope observations will allow us to study exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres in great detail. The physical interpretation of these upcoming high signal-to-noise observations requires precise atmospheric models of ...

Possible nuclear fusion of deuteron in the cores of Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, and brown dwarfs

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
Many brown dwarfs have recently been discovered as sub-stellar objects in which deuteron thermonuclear fusion is taking place. Although Jupiter and Saturn emit nearly twice as much heat as they absorb from the Sun, their internal heat-generation ...

The abundance of brown dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999
The amount of mass contained in low-mass objects is investigated anew. Instead of using a mass-luminosity relation to convert a luminosity function to a mass function, I predict the mass-luminosity relation from assumed mass functions and the luminosity functions of Jahreiss & Wielen (1997) and Gould et al (1997).
