The perceived barriers to the inclusion of rainwater harvesting systems by UK house building companies [PDF]

, 2010
This work investigates the barriers that exist to deter the implementation of rainwater harvesting into new UK housing. A postal questionnaire was sent to a selection of large, medium and small house-builders distributed across the UK.

Biomimetic Adaptive Hydrothermal Balance Fabric‐Based Dual‐Interface Solar Evaporator for Efficient and Stable Desalination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines the biological structure of octopuses with the “3D structure” of spacer fabrics to fabricate a dual‐interface solar evaporator with adaptive hydrothermal balance. Water adaptation is achieved through the differentiated design of the upper and lower layers, and dynamic hydrothermal balance is realized by dynamically regulating the ...

Self‐Assembled Myricetin‐Arginine Conjugate Nanozymes for Targeted Suppression of Joint Inflammation and Osteoclastogenesis in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Carrier‐free myricetin‐arginine conjugate nanozymes (MANZs) have been fabricated through a Mannich reaction and spontaneous self‐assembly. MANZs selectively accumulate in inflamed joints by targeting M1 macrophages via CAT2‐mediated uptake. The nanozymes can effectively modulate macrophage polarization, suppress osteoclast differentiation, and mitigate

Synergetic Relay Between Atomic Hydrogen and Chlorine Radicals Enables Efficient Nitrate‐to‐Nitrogen Gas Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using photoelectrochemical (PEC) deep denitrification technology, a novel synergistic reduction‐oxidation process enables efficient conversion of nitrate (NO3−) to nitrogen (N2), while suppressing key intermediate ammonium (NH4+) and toxic nitrite (NO2−) accumulation.

Beyond the Ban—Shedding Light on Smallholders' Price Vulnerability in Indonesia's Palm Oil Industry

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Indonesian government imposed a palm oil export ban in April 2022 to address rising cooking oil prices. This study explores oil palm smallholders' vulnerability to the policy using descriptive statistics, Lasso, and post‐Lasso OLS regressions.
