Sputtering Mechanism of an Unsintered Organic–Inorganic Sputtering Target for Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
An unsintered MAPbI3 sputtering target fabricated via a mechanochemical route enables large‐area vacuum deposition of perovskite absorber layers, while revealing an ion–photon coupled decomposition mechanism that governs target erosion and film composition under RF plasma exposure.

Phytoremediation of persistent organic pollutants

, 2009
Toxicity, chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and long-range transport of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) cause environmental and human health hazards, and demand the cleanup of remnants from previous applications. Phytoremediation uses living higher plants for the removal and biochemical decomposition of environmental pollutants and became a ...

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...

Persistant Organic Pollutants and Lesser Known Problems in the Environment

Surface-active compounds are an integral part of washing agents (powders) and are designed to used in water. One of the hazardous chemical classes for environment and human health are persistent organic pollutants (POPs).Substantial amounts of pyrene are

The Spectrum of Biopsy‐Proven Renal Diseases in Chinese Elderly Patients and Its Temporal Shift Over 20 Years: A Retrospective Cohort Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
This 20‐year retrospective study reveals a significant increase in renal biopsy utilization and a pivotal shift in biopsy‐proven renal disease among Chinese elderly patients. Secondary glomerular nephropathy (particularly diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephropathy) has surpassed primary glomerular nephropathy as the leading biopsy‐proven ...

Swedish farmers' approval of nudges

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Interest in the use of behavioral policy approaches, such as nudges, has strongly increased over the past years, including in the domains of food, agricultural and environmental policies. While the approval of nudges among the general public has been studied extensively, we know little about the attitude of farmers toward nudging. Farmers may (

Cost‐Benefit Analysis of the European Union Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in Fertilizer Trade

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), launching 2026, will charge EU importers for embedded carbon emissions, aiming to reduce emissions but raising import costs. Shifts in demand following implementation may reduce carbon emissions, but importers will bear the cost of increased prices.
