Hydroflux Access to Hydroxide‐Free Yttrium Oxovanadate and Arsenite Layers: K6[Y(VO4)3]·2H2O, K6[Y(VO4)3], and Na3[Y(AsO3)2]

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Strongly alkaline hydroflux media commonly yield hydroxide‐rich rare‐earth compounds. In contrast, K6[Y(VO4)3]·2H2O, its anhydrate K6[Y(VO4)3], and Na3[Y(AsO3)2] show that the low activity of water in the medium can favorcondensation into extended hydroxide‐free Y─O─V and Y─O─As networks instead of isolated hydroxo complexes.

Transforming Residential Lightwells into High-Performance Daylighting Systems Through Optical and Geometric Retrofit Optimization

Buildings
Narrow internal lightwells are often featured in multi-story residential buildings in hot arid climates in order to daylight rooms where direct façade access is not possible, but privacy-driven window closure strongly limits the daylighting potential of ...

The Critical Role of Economies of Scale: A Techno‐Economic Assessment of Small‐ Versus Large‐Scale Biogas Upgrading in Rural Tanzania

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Small‐scale biogas upgrading can improve methane quality but remains financially unattractive to individual rural households. Community‐scale implementation substantially lowers energy costs, demonstrating that economies of scale are critical to making purified biogas a viable clean‐cooking option in Tanzania.

Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...
