Natural organic matter in sedimentary basins and its relation to arsenic in anoxic ground water: the example of West Bengal and its worldwide implications [PDF]
, 2004 In order to investigate the mechanism of As release to anoxic ground water in alluvial aquifers, the authors sampled ground waters from 3 piezometer nests, 79 shallow (80 m) wells, in an area 750 m by 450 m, just north of Barasat, near Kolkata (Calcutta),

Ion‐Confinement‐Assisted Erasure Purifies Oxidized MXene for Reuse
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An erasure‐purification strategy removes surface‐derived TiO2 from oxidized Ti3C2Tx MXene by ion‐confinement‐induced interfacial conversion to soluble titanates, followed by brief acid washing. The scalable process enables approximately 70% material recovery, restores electrical conductivity, and recovers functional performance, including high ...

Weather, Climate and the Nature of Predictability [PDF]
, 2018 The prediction and simulation of future weather and climate is a key ingredient in good weather risk management. This chapter briefly reviews the nature and underlying sources of predictability on timescales from hours-ahead to centuries-ahead. The traditional distinction between ‘weather’ and ‘climate’ predictions is described, and the role of recent ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work demonstrates a heterojunction‐gated infrared phototransistor for broadband detection from 350 to 1700 nm. By suppressing defect states on nonpolar (100) facets of large PbS quantum dots via hybrid ligand passivation, the device achieves a room‐temperature detectivity of 5.7 × 1013 Jones at 1650 nm.
