Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Deindustrialization and demographic change: Evidence from big plant closures and downsizing

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the causal effect of big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing on the socioeconomic composition of Canadian cities between 2001 and 2021. Our instrumental variables estimates show that big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing—large local labour demand shocks—lead to less population growth and a shift in the demographic

Naturally coloured poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study reports an innovative approach for producing intrinsically coloured poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] films by incorporating natural dyes—turmeric, paprika, annatto, beetroot and hibiscus—directly into the fermentation medium of Ralstonia solanacearum RS.

Who Bears the Pen? Audit Partner–Manager Report Signatures, Multilevel Accountability and Audit Quality in China

International Journal of Auditing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using data pertaining to China's mandatory two‐signature regime, under which a certified public accountant licensed as an audit manager can serve as an audit report signatory, we examine whether reallocating accountability within the audit engagement team is associated with audit quality.

Climate Regulation, Firm Emissions, and Green Takeoversa

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We show that an unexpected tightening of the EU Emissions Trading System led high‐emission‐intensity firms to cut emissions relative to low‐intensity peers within the same industry, without reducing output, thereby improving emission efficiency. Effects are stronger for power producers than for manufacturing firms.
