Water Losses and Environmental Efficiency in Urban Water Supply Systems: A Comparative Assessment for Spain and Portugal

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water losses are a critical environmental and operational challenge, especially in regions exposed to increasing water stress. This study assesses the environmental productivity of municipal water supply services in Spain and Portugal during the period 2014–2022, explicitly treating losses as an undesirable output.

Fluorinated copolymer resists for high‐resolution negative‐tone lithography: Preparation and patterning performance

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Electron‐beam induced C–F cleavage in –CF3 generates F−, which abstracts a proton to form the acid that catalyzes tBMA deprotection during post‐exposure baking. This self‐sensitization mechanism enables the precise formation of high‐resolution negative‐tone patterns with enhanced sensitivity and resolution.
