Are we significantly oversizing domestic water systems? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A focus on saving water is pushing down domestic water volume flow rates, but UK sizing methods have yet to reflect this change as demonstrated in this ...

Degradation Mechanisms, Encapsulation‐Based Stabilization, and Analytical Detection of Vitamin A

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an important lipid‐soluble micronutrient essential for vision, immune function, and overall growth and development. However, vitamin A is unstable and susceptible to environmental factors because of its conjugated structure and inherent chemical reactivity.

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

Carbon Dot Nano‐Spacers in Triazine Networks for Integrated Photothermal Seawater Desalination and H2O2 Production

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Cyanated carbon dots (CN‐CDs) are synthesized by the hydrothermal method with carboxymethyl cellulose and cyanobenzoic acid, and CD‐CTN is obtained in situ via cyclotrimerization of CN‐CDs. CD‐CTN possesses excellent photothermal catalytic H2O2 production in seawater, and desalted H2O2 could be obtained, which demonstrates the practical application for

New Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework‐Derived N‐Doped Carbon LiCl Composites for Sorption Thermal Batteries Utilizing Solar Energy

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
New hierarchical ZIF‐derived nitrogen‐doped carbons (ZDCs) impregnated with LiCl are promising materials for sorption thermal batteries utilizing solar energy. This study examines the structural properties of ZDCs, the effect of LiCl loading, the enhancement of hydrothermal stability by nanoporous carbon, and the water adsorption properties of a series

Energetic analysis in a hot water system: A hotel facility case study

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2023
This paper evaluates the energy operational performance of a system to produce domestic hot water, from the use of waste heat in a centralized air conditioning system in a hotel in Cuba. The hotel facility has two different chillers capacities, where the
