Hierarchical Surrogate Modeling and Optimization of the SO₂ Recovery–Water Loss Trade-Off in Basic Aluminum Sulfate Regeneration

Molecules
Vacuum regeneration can close the absorbent loop in basic aluminum sulfate (BAS) wet flue-gas desulfurization and SO2 capture, but SO2 release occurs together with energy-intensive water evaporation.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Identification of Enantiomeric Byproducts During Microalgae-Mediated Transformation of Metoprolol by MS/MS Spectrum Based Networking

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Metoprolol (MPL) is a chiral β-blocker ubiquitously detected in various environments due to its low to moderate removal in wastewater treatment plants. This study was conducted to test the potential of using microalgae to degrade emerging contaminant MPL

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Benchmarking local ecological performance using ecological footprint accounts [PDF]

Ecological footprint is good at telling us how much we weight relative to global ecological ressources. However it tells us nothing on their geographical origin and makes no distinction be-tween ecological ressources used from distant or local land ...

Understanding protected area resilience: a multi-scale, social-ecological approach [PDF]

, 2015
Protected areas (PAs) remain central to the conservation of biodiversity. Classical PAs were conceived as areas that would be set aside to maintain a natural state with minimal human influence. However, global environmental change and growing cross-scale

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Acoustic sensor networks and machine learning: scalable ecological data to advance evidence-based conservation [PDF]

, 2018
Evidence-based frameworks have helped to transform decisions in medicine, education, agriculture, and international development. Conservation has lagged other fields in embracing the data-driven revolution, largely because of the difficulty and expense ...
