Sedimentary evolution and paleoclimate conditions in the Yangtze river estuary across the late Pleistocene to early Holocene

Frontiers in Marine Science
Due to the complexity of sedimentary evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE), sedimentary responses across different regions have varied significantly, but the sedimentary record on the northern flank of the ...

Ge-Si RATIO FOR ASSESSING THE CHEMICAL WEATHERING INTENSITY AT THE PALEOCENE-EOCENE BOUNDARY IN ANCIENT TRANSURALIAN BASIN

Известия Томского политехнического университета: Инжиниринг георесурсов, 2020
Relevance. Diatomites and their transitional differences formed in the Paleocene–Eocene marine basin are one of the most widespread in the near-surface occurrence of sedimentary rocks in the vast territory of the Trans-Urals. At the same time, with regard to the genetic aspects of such rocks, the discussion on the fundamental sources of silica for ...

Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

Advancements in CO2 Capture Technologies: A Review of Amine Absorption and Alternative Methods for Post‐Combustion Integration

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carbon capture technologies are poised to become one of the primary focuses regarding the achievement of net‐zero emissions by the year 2050. In these technologies, particular attention is given to post‐combustion CO2 capture, which is more easily implemented at existing power stations and other industries.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.
