Advancing Solar Modulation Ability of Near Infrared Thermochromic Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Smart Window Films Using a Waveplate

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the use of a waveplate in thermochromic materials for smart windows. The waveplate enables the optical material to transition from a narrow band reflection to broad band ambidextrous reflection upon heating, resulting in a solar transmission modulation of 5.2% which is four times greater than typical thermochromic cholesteric liquid ...

Exergoenvironmental damages assessment in a desert‐based agricultural system: A case study of date production

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3155-3172, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Developing countries, especially those in hot and dry areas, need more attention to achieve sustainable development as they apply excessive inputs in production processes. The present study aims to quantify the amount of environmental emissions and determine the most appropriate pattern of energy use in the date (Phoenix dactylifera L ...

Keep it green, simple and socially fair: a choice experiment on prosumers' preferences for peer to peer electricity trading in the Netherlands [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
While the potential for peer-to-peer electricity trading, where households trade surplus electricity with peers in a local energy market, is rapidly growing, the drivers of participation in this trading scheme have been understudied so far. In particular, there is a dearth of research on the role of non-monetary incentives for trading surplus ...

Organic Transistor‐Based Biosensors for Viral RNA Detection and Variant Monitoring: From SARS‐CoV‐2 to Effective Management of Future Pandemics

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A novel approach for direct sensing of viral RNA is proposed, allowing PCR‐free detection of viral RNA from genomic material, and variants screening by discrimination of polymorphic amplicons. The device is a cost‐effective, user‐friendly platform suitable for both mass screening kits and as a laboratory tool for an optimized management of resources ...

Does agroecosystem management mitigate historic climate impacts on dryland winter wheat yields?

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3515-3530, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Global studies that quantify climate effects on crop yields using top‐down spatial frameworks are invaluable for assessing generalized effects on world food supplies, yet do not contain the resolution necessary to identify local mediating effects of management. Our objectives were to identify (a) what climate factors have historically affected

Toward a differentiated understanding of the effect of Nutri‐Score nutrition labeling on healthier food choices

Agribusiness, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 28-50, Winter 2023., 2023
Abstract By 2022, the European Commission seeks to introduce harmonized, mandatory front‐of‐pack (FOP) nutrition labeling. The color‐graded Nutri‐Score is at the heart of the European debate. Yet, little is known about how the information provided in back‐of‐pack (BOP) nutrition tables interacts with evaluative FOP labels, such as Nutri‐Score, and if ...
