ABSTRACT Atmospheric deposition of organic pollutants plays a crucial role in the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment, with implications for ecosystem health and human exposure. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microplastics are increasingly recognized as transboundary threats due to ...

Chemical control strategies for Poa annua in managed turfgrass systems
Abstract Poa annua L. is a widespread and persistent weed in managed turfgrass systems, exhibiting both annual and short‐lived perennial growth habits. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with chemical herbicides remaining a primary tool.

Species‐Specific Vulnerability of Northern Red Sea Mesophotic Corals to Accelerated Warming
Mesophotic reefs are often considered climate refuges, yet experimental thermal‐stress reveals species‐dependent vulnerability. Skeletal optics, energy reserves, and light environment determine bleaching severity. A depth‐generalist coral resisted stress while the mesophotic specialist bleached severely.

ABSTRACT Polymeric blends (PB) represent a rapid and cost‐effective strategy for the development of materials with tailored properties. In this study, blends of polystyrene (PS) and poly(o‐methoxyaniline) (POMA) containing 7.5 wt/wt% of POMA were prepared and hybridized with erbium oxide (Er2O3) at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 wt/wt%.

ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

ABSTRACT Materials and products age with time and their properties change. It is known that, for example, the mechanical strength may be deteriorated from ageing. To understand the ageing effect on the fire behaviour of materials and products is important to maintain the safety level of the construction or application.

Biochar Mitigates Arsenic Phytotoxicity and Improves Crop Performance in Iron‐Rich Tropical Soils
ABSTRACT The contamination of tropical soils by the highly toxic metalloid, arsenic (As), is a pervasive issue, resulting in declining crop performance due to phytotoxicity. Biochars are gaining popularity as sorbents for contaminants, yet their capacity to ameliorate As phytotoxicity in diverse tropical soil types remains underexplored.

Chitosan–Alginate Seed Encrusting Enhances Salt Tolerance in Sweet Corn
ABSTRACT Soil salinity is one of the most critical factors limiting global crop productivity, significantly hampering seed germination and early seedling development. This study examined the effects of seed treatment with chitosan and sodium alginate (NaAlg) on seedling growth and physiological responses of sweet corn (Zea mays L.

Abstract Epoxy resin‐based sealers are commonly used in endodontic treatment due to their superior physicochemical properties. Therefore, it is important to utilize these materials by enhancing their properties. Nonetheless, several of their properties remain suboptimal, including the relatively prolonged setting time, the moderate yet clinically ...

Summary Forest health is critical for sustaining ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Heart rot, a widespread disease in upland northern hardwood forests, may affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes, but its impacts remain poorly measured. Using non‐destructive tomography and direct gas flux measurements, we quantified the effects of heart ...
