Loss of zinc from zinc‐biofortified rice and conventional rice varieties due to various cooking techniques practiced in rural Bangladesh

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Zinc‐biofortified rice has the potential to provide a sustainable solution for zinc deficiency, particularly in Asian countries where rice is the primary staple food. However, cooking of raw rice is associated with some loss of micronutrients, including zinc.

Hydrodynamic Simulation of Cyclone Separators

open access: yes, 2010
Cyclone separators are commonly used for separating dispersed solid particles from gas phase. These devices have simple construction; are relatively inexpensive to fabricate and operate with moderate pressure losses. Therefore, they are widely used in many engineering processes such as dryers, reactors, advanced coal utilization such as pressurized and

Spiritual ecologies in transition: Bonbibi and the reconfiguration of people–nature relations in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Local religious traditions serve as informal environmental institutions, characterized by socially embedded norms that guide behaviour without formal enforcement and influence human–environment interactions. This study investigates the role of Bonbibi worship as a system of moral regulation in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans and examines the ...

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Polar‐low track prediction using machine‐learning methods

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning models are developed to produce reliable and efficient forecasts of polar‐low (PL) trajectories 12 hours ahead. A temporal model (RLSTM) benefiting from the rolling‐forecast strategy, improves overall prediction accuracy and is suitable for quick experimentation, while a spatiotemporal model (PL‐UNet), incorporating both historical and

Near‐resonant excitation of the Adriatic barotropic modes: The seiche events of December 2019

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study examines severe flooding in the northern Adriatic Sea in December 2019, which existing forecasting systems failed to predict. Analysis of wind and sea‐level data, alongside reanalysis datasets and a high‐resolution hydrodynamic model, revealed a wind‐induced resonance mechanism.

Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...

How consistently do ensemble prediction systems represent the growth of atmospheric uncertainty?

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Spread‐based diagnostics calculated for 12 ensemble prediction systems are compared to understand the consistency with which they represent atmospheric uncertainty growth. Good correlation between all these systems is found in the extratropics for a lead time range from 48 hr to between 96 hr and 192 hr.
