Looking beyond stratification: a model-based analysis of the biological drivers of oxygen deficiency in the North Sea [PDF]
Low oxygen conditions, often referred to as oxy- gen deficiency, occur regularly in the North Sea, a temperate European shelf sea. Stratification represents a major process regulating the seasonal dynamics of bottom oxygen, yet, low- est oxygen ...

Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs
ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.

Development of Chitosan/PVA Nanofibrous Membranes for Efficient Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa
Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from CS/PVA fibers by A‐HSBS. ABSTRACT In this study, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) (CS/PVA) polymeric nanofibers were produced using the Air‐Heated Solution Blow Spinning (A‐HSBS) method and applied for the efficient removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from contaminated water.
