Political Cycles, Electricity Policy, and Mexico's Economy

open access: yesLatin American Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Electricity reform in Mexico should stimulate economic growth, improve energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This article evaluates the successes and failures of reform and draws lessons across political cycles by analyzing changes in political dynamics—often tied to policy reversals—and the legal framework during the pro ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Atomic absorption spectrometry—AAS

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 2206-2224, May 2026.
Abstract Elements absorb electromagnetic radiation (light) of a specific wavelength in proportion to the number of atoms in its path. As the atoms absorb this light energy, electrons rise from the ground state to an excited state. In atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), high temperatures produce clouds of atoms from the sample (atomization) and ...

Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 548-582, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).

Thermodynamic Insights Into Direct Methane to Methanol Conversion Using O2 and CO2 Oxidants

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
A thermodynamic analysis compares O2 and CO2 for the direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol. While O2 offers higher theoretical conversions, it poses safety risks and favors total oxidation. CO2 presents a safer, more sustainable alternative despite its thermodynamic limitations.

Energy and Environmental Performance of Biodiesel Derived From Waste Vegetable and Animal Oils: Integrated Energy Balance, Process Optimization, and Feasibility Assessment

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study demonstrates a highly efficient biodiesel production route from waste vegetable and animal oils, achieving a net energy ratio (NER) of 7.8–8.2 and over 85% greenhouse‐gas reduction. Methanol recovery and optimized logistics enhanced energy efficiency, validating waste‐oil biodiesel as a sustainable circular‐bioeconomy fuel.
