Environmentally damaging electricity trade [PDF]

Energy Policy, 2010
Electricity trade across regions is often considered welfare enhancing. We show in this paper that this could be reconsidered if environmental externalities are taken into account. We consider two cases where trade is beneficial, before accounting for environmental damages: first, when two regions with the same technology display some demand ...

Seismic magnitude clustering is prevalent in field and laboratory catalogs

Nature Communications, 2023
Clustering of earthquake magnitudes is still actively debated, compared to well-established spatial and temporal clustering. Magnitude clustering is not currently implemented in earthquake forecasting but would be important if larger magnitude events are

Insight into the degradation mechanism of fluorene by ferrous/humic acid activated persulfate: Free radical reactions, functional group verification and degradation pathway

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
This study evaluated the performance of humic acid (HA)/ferrous ion (Fe (II)) activating persulfate (PS) for fluorene (FLU) degradation. Results showed that HA/Fe(II)/PS system exhibited the best performance for PS activation to eliminate FLU.
