Sonochemical Functionalization of Glass

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new method for functionalizing glass using ultrasonication of aryl diazonium salts. Aryl radicals generated by ultrasounds react with glass, forming a stable, covalently bonded organic film. The functionalized glass adheres microorganisms such as microalgae, fungi, and bacteria, suggesting potential applications in enzyme production, filtration ...

Do smaller chicken farms use more antibiotics? Evidence of antibiotic diffusion from Nigeria

open access: yesAgribusiness, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 242-262, Winter 2023., 2023
Abstract Farmers across the world have been using antibiotics in poultry production for both therapeutic and nontherapeutic purposes since the mid 1900s. The literature on antibiotic diffusion and intensification is largely focused on developed countries in North America and Western Europe.

On Changes of Global Wet-bulb Temperature and Snowfall Regimes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
To properly interpret the observed shrinkage of the Earth's cryosphere it is important to understand global changes of snowfall dominant regimes. To document these changes, three different reanalysis products of wet-bulb temperature together with observationally-based data sets are processed from 1979 to 2017.

Disulfide Glass: An Optical Polymer for Commodity Plastics, Precision Optics, and Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
From oil and glass refining to high performance commodity polymers with enhanced thermomechanical and optical properties—the synthesis of a new high refractive index, highly transparent optical thermoset polymer is reported, termed, disulfide glass that affords a robust optical glass amenable to fabrication of precision optics and thin film photonic ...

FMI Compliant Approach to Investigate the Impact of Communication to Islanded Microgrid Secondary Control [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
In multi-master islanded microgrids, the inverter controllers need to share the signals and to coordinate, in either centralized or distributed way, in order to operate properly and to assure a good functionality of the grid. The central controller is used in centralized strategy.

Central Peripheries

open access: yes, 2021
Central Peripheries explores post-Soviet Central Asia through the prism of nation-building. Although relative latecomers on the international scene, the Central Asian states see themselves as globalized, and yet in spite of – or perhaps precisely because of – this, they hold a very classical vision of the nation-state, rejecting the abolition of ...

Electricity Generation From Ambient Water Evaporation in the Absence of Sunlight via PVA‐Based Porous Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, a water‐evaporation driven energy harvester is devised that works even in the absence of sunlight. This is achieved by combining PVA hydrogel with thermoelectrics (TEG) to directly capture energy from water evaporation. Under mild conditions (RH 40%, T of 26 °C, and 2.8 m s−1 wind), 1.71 mW (1.02 W m−2) power can be generated, >3 fold ...

Constructing Market-based Economies in Central Asia: A Natural Experiment? [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Journal of Comparative Economics, 2010
This paper reviews the experience of the five Central Asian countries in the two decades since independence. In the 1990s the five countries looked like a natural experiment. They had similar initial conditions, but different transition strategies. Today
