Synergistic management of the water-food-energy-carbon nexus in resource-constrained megaregions: A dynamic general equilibrium assessment for Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei

Agricultural Water Management
The intrinsic interlinkages among water, food, energy, and carbon emissions have become a critical factor of regional sustainable development. Under the low-carbon transition, the demand for coordinated policy supply to ensure water, food, and energy ...

Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.

Longer growing seasons do not increase net carbon uptake in Northeastern Siberian tundra

, 2011
With global warming, snowmelt is occurring earlier and growing seasons are becoming longer around the Arctic. It has been suggested that this would lead to more uptake of carbon due to a lengthening of the period in which plants photosynthesize.

High-Cycle, Low-Cycle, Extremely Low-Cycle Fatigue and Monotonic Fracture Behaviors of Low-Carbon Steel and Its Welded Joint

, 2019
Low-carbon steels are commonly used in welded steel structures and are exposed to various fatigue conditions, depending on the application. We demonstrate that the various transitions in the fracture mode during fatigue testing can be distinguished by ...

Activation of persulfate by a layered double oxide supported sulfidated nano zero-valent iron for efficient degradation of 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether in soil

Environment International
The nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) activated persulfate (PS) is recognized as a promising approach to degrade 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), which is ubiquitous in the soil at electronic waste sites.

Encyclopedia of 2D β′‐In2Se3 Growth Using Chemical Vapor Deposition: The Effects of Synthesis Parameters Onto Material Quality

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A distinct semi‐confined inner‐tube chemical vapor deposition geometry enables reproducible, large‐area growth of phase‐pure 2D β′‐In2Se3 from InI + Se precursors. Engineering local vapor transport and optimizing precursor delivery and temperature–time conditions yield uniform continuous films.

Pantropical moist forests are converging towards a middle leaf longevity

Nature Communications
Leaf longevity is a fundamental plant trait that largely explains ecosystem functional dynamics in global pantropical moist forests. However, the signs, magnitudes, and mechanisms of the spatiotemporal variations in leaf longevity with ongoing climate ...

Influence of Surface Finish on the Tribological Performance of AlTiBN Coatings Deposited on Forming Tools

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Aluminum and nitride coatings are used in industry because they are hard, resist wear, and protect against oxidation. Adding boron can improve friction behavior and other properties. This study tests coatings on surfaces with different finishes. Results show smoother surfaces perform better, while rough ones wear faster, although coatings can reduce ...
