Hydrogen‐Bond Enabled Phosphite Based Intrinsic Flame‐Retardant Solid‐Solid Phase Change Materials Using Catalyst/Solvent‐Free Multi‐Component Reaction for Battery Thermal Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The phosphite group endows intrinsic flame retardancy, while the P = O bond enhances intermolecular interactions to realize solid‐solid phase transition. Battery thermal management tests show the materials extend the safe working time of lithium‐ion batteries by 200%. Cone calorimeter tests indicate a 14s delay in ignition time, and reductions of 37.6%,

Bat response to differing fire severity in mixed-conifer forest California, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Wildlife response to natural disturbances such as fire is of conservation concern to managers, policy makers, and scientists, yet information is scant beyond a few well-studied groups (e.g., birds, small mammals).

China's Low‐Carbon Energy Transition Over the Past Two Decades: Experiences and Implications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
China's low‐carbon energy transition features a brief decline and subsequent rebound in coal consumption, alongside the rapid expansion of renewable energy. This study develops a stage‐based analytical framework to explain this evolution from the perspectives of economic development, energy security, and environmental sustainability, revealing how ...

Accuracy of WAAS-Enabled GPS-RF Warning Signals When Crossing a Terrestrial Geofence

open access: yesSensors, 2016
Geofences are virtual boundaries based on geographic coordinates. When combined with global position system (GPS), or more generally global navigation satellite system (GNSS) transmitters, geofences provide a powerful tool for monitoring the location and

Fire Detection And 3D Fire Propagation Estimation For The Protection Of Cultural Heritage Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Beyond taking precautionary measures to avoid a forest fire, early warning and immediate response to a fire breakout are the only ways to avoid great losses and environmental and cultural heritage damages.

Low Latency Global Carbon Budget Reveals Late 2024 Carbon Losses and Contrasting Early 2025 Land Sink Recovery Signals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Low latency carbon budget estimates for July 2024–June 2025 combine atmospheric CO2 growth rates, fossil emissions, ocean uptake, DGVM land fluxes, and OCO‐2 inversions. The budget shows that late‐2024 land carbon losses dominate the annual anomaly, while early‐2025 recovery differs between bottom‐up models and top‐down inversions, especially in ...

Forest fire motives in Sardinia through the perception of experts.

open access: yes, 2014
Wildfires statistics for Sardinia (Italy) exhibit a very high number of unknown causes: all merged, they account for about 78%. In order to reduce their number, which really hinders any preventive approach, we tested Delphi method, the structured ...

Sugar alcohols in plants: implications for enhancing tree seedlings drought tolerance and production strategies

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Sugar alcohols, also known as glycitols, are reduced derivatives of sugars with multiple hydroxyl groups attached to the sugar skeleton. While classified as carbohydrates, they differ from monosaccharides by lacking an aldehyde or keto group.
