Polymer International, EarlyView.An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Robust Performance Loss Rate Calculation for Photovoltaic Systems in High Latitude Locations
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.This work studies the best methods for performance loss rate (PLR) calculation in high latitude locations, characterized by strong seasonal variability. As the different methods can drastically affect the PLR value, an ensemble method consisting of multiple approaches was validated to be essential in identifying robust PLRs.

Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.

Observations and numerical simulations of a valley‐exit wind in the Alpine Bolzano basin
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The evolution and spreading of the nocturnal valley‐exit wind flowing from the Isarco Valley into the Bolzano basin, in the Italian Alps, are found to be influenced by the basin temperature stratification. Measurements and high‐resolution simulations show that a cold‐air pool favors an upward trajectory of the flow at the exit of the valley.

Preprocessing Procedure for Propagation Measurements on MEO Satellite Links
International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents a software tool designed for preprocessing data from an experimental campaign aimed at characterizing the tropospheric propagation channel using Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. The collected data provide critical insights into the channel in scenarios involving continuous variations in azimuth and elevation, along with

The Hidden Costs of Coffee Production in the Eastern African Value Chains
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households.
