Unravelling the initiator‐only stage in alginate grafting: Radical‐induced depolymerization and its impact on acrylamide grafting efficiency

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Free‐radical grafting of natural polymers often assumes that initiators only create active sites before monomer addition. We tested this by exposing sodium alginate to potassium persulphate (KPS) under typical grafting conditions without monomer (acrylamide).

Non‐negative Gaussian estimation of variance components in random effects models

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract When used to estimate variance components (VCs), confidence intervals (CIs) can be truncated at zero, have a point estimate not in the quoted CI, be empty with positive probability, or be all‐inclusive. This is because they have conflicting dual roles, since they are considered to cover the parameter with a specified probability while also ...

Detection of Particulate Matter With Lock‐In Thermography

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Accurate quantification of black carbon is essential due to its significant impact on climate, air quality, and human health. Lock‐in thermography (LIT), as implemented by NanoLockin's instrument Calorsito, offers a sensitive, scalable, and reproducible approach for detecting black carbon on filter substrates.

Tracking Climate and Environmental Attention: A News‐Based Composite Index

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Climate and Environmental Attention Index, a composite indicator that tracks media attention to climate and environmental issues. Based on the Semantic Brand Score, the proposed index extracts significant signals from unstructured text, going beyond traditional measures of word frequency and sentiment.
