Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Xylose Acetals ‐ a New Class of Sustainable Solvents and Their Application in Enzymatic Polycondensation

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...

A Comparison of Alternative Functional Forms For Parametric Estimation of the Lorenz Curve [PDF]

open access: yes
Using U.S. income data, we evaluate several functional forms for the Lorenz curve. On the basis of the goodness of fit, estimated income shares and Gini coefficients, the form proposed by Kakwani (1980) is found to be overall superior to the other forms ...

Isoelectronic Alloying in Zintl Phases Mediated the Avoided Crossing and Phonon Softening

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A small amount of Hf doping endows Zr3Ni3Sb4‐Zintl with an unusually low thermal conductivity far exceeding that of similar systems. Two unique phonon mechanisms—avoided crossing and phonon softening—significantly suppress the lattice thermal conductivity. The average thermoelectric figure of merit is improved by 21%.

Additional insights provided by alternative measures of economic inequality: income inequality in the United States and wealth inequality in the United Kingdom increased more in recent decades than indicated by the Gini coefficient

open access: yesResearch in Statistics
The increase in income and wealth inequality over the last 40 years in many countries has become a major issue in public policy. This paper introduces two curves, which are transforms of the Lorenz curve and their related measures.

Consistent Nonparametric Tests for Lorenz Dominance [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper proposes a test for Lorenz dominance. Given independent samples of income or other welfare related variable, we propose a test of the null hypothesis that the Lorenz curve for one population is dominated by the Lorenz curve for a second ...

Stepwise Optimization of Thermoelectric Performance in Cu3SbSe4‐Based Compounds via Alloying and Hierarchical Structuring

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Under the stepwise optimization strategy, (Sn, Te) co‐alloying functions as the primary initiative to enhance the power factor (PF), while the subsequent incorporation of AgCuTe operates as a synergistic maneuver to suppress lattice thermal conductivity (κlat), thereby concomitantly boosting the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT).
