Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Short‐Term Functional Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can accumulate functional status (FS) impairment. We evaluated the association between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and FS in a national SLE sample.

Performance of water quality simulation model for lifting drainage water joints and mixing zone determination

open access: yesApplied Water Science
Limited water resources with gradual increase in water demand led to higher dependence on drainage water as one of the non-conventional water resources in Egypt. However, there was no precise approach for using such resource. The practices ranged between

Activating the role of women in water projects

open access: yesWater Science, 2014
Water is one of our most precious natural resources. A growing human population, and the expansion of economic activities that comes with it, will intensify the pressure on water resources.

Implications of and possible responses to climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Climate change is expected to worsen food insecurity and seriously undermines rural development prospects. It makes it harder to achieve the Millenium Development Goals and ensure a sustainable future beyond 2015.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Early Danian paleotemperature records from Neuquén Basin-Argentina: Applications of the ostracod Sr/Ca paleothermometer

open access: yesEvolving Earth
The early Danian is marked by a recovery in marine and terrestrial ecosystems after the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction. Both sea surface temperature (SST) and bottom water temperature (BWT) reconstructions are essential for a better understanding ...

Sources of black carbon to the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau glaciers

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Black carbon accelerates melting of glaciers in the Himalayas and Tibet, yet the source of these aerosols remains enigmatic. Here, the authors use isotope fingerprinting techniques to determine the origin of black carbon preserved in glacier ice cores ...

Innovative Processing of Compacted Waste Aluminum Alloy Powders via Controlled Remelting and Solidification

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an efficient recycling route for out‐of‐spec AlSi10Mg atomized powders through compaction and arc remelting followed by suction casting. By correlating compaction load, cooling rate, and resulting microstructure, we show that intermediate pressures (50–80 kN) and rapid cooling refine dendrites, reduce porosity, and enhance ...

From cylinder to city: how recondensation-induced nucleation in vehicle exhaust shapes urban aerosol number [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Air-quality models frequently underestimate fine particle number concentration (PNC), particularly in the nucleation/Aitken range – while reproducing PM2.5 mass more accurately, suggesting that key number-forming processes are missing from current ...

Prediction of Surface Topography Parameters in Direct Laser Interference Patterning of Stainless Steel Using Infrared Monitoring and Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an infrared monitoring approach for direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) combined with a convolutional neural network (CNN). Thermal emission data captured during structuring are used to predict surface topography parameters.
