Recovering nutrients from urine – A golden opportunity for sustainable fertiliser production
Agricultural industrialisation has led to levels of nutrients in the environment that are well above safe operating limits, yet fertiliser use is necessary to feed a growing population. The recovery of nutrients from human urine in large, developed cities may offset some of the ecological and economic impacts associated with fertiliser production, as ...

ABSTRACT Collaborative operation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can effectively achieve scientific goals that are hard to achieve by independently operated vehicles. Some science payloads are large, expensive, and need to be installed in the vehicle's nose cone. A vehicle can only carry one such payload.

A Century of Housing Shelter Prices: Is There a Downward Bias in the CPI? [PDF]
Tenant rental shelter is by far the most important component of the CPI, because it is used as a proxy for owner-occupied housing. This paper develops a wide variety of current and historical evidence dating back to 1914 to demonstrate that the CPI rent ...

Hunga‐Tonga Volcano Plumbing System Inferred From Virtual Seismometer Approach
Abstract We present a surface wave tomography application based on event‐pair interferometry to investigate local (∼100 km) mid‐ocean crustal structures, with a particular focus on imaging a potential crustal solidified intrusive complex in a region lacking seismic stations.

Abstract Based on simulations of the Venusian atmosphere using the AFES‐Venus GCM, we investigated the angular momentum (AM) balance that maintains the atmospheric superrotation (SR) at 35–90 km altitudes. In and above the cloud layer, the Eulerian‐mean meridional circulation consists of Hadley‐like cells at low latitudes and Ferrel‐like cells at ...

Plumbing Pathogens: A Fixture in Hospitals and Homes
Practicing good hygiene is supposed to make you healthier, not sicker. However, a growing body of research shows that certain bacteria can thrive in household and hospital plumbing systems and may cause life-threatening infections among susceptible individuals after inhalation or ingestion. In this issue of EHP, Joseph Falkinham of Virginia Polytechnic

What beyond oil and gas? Russian trade specialisation in manufactures [PDF]
The objective of the paper is to study Russia's pattern of specialisation in the manufactures trade since 1998. Russia's global trade balance for manufactures is rapidly deteriorating.

Can Eulerian Eddy Diffusivity Be Inferred From Lagrangian Trajectories?
Abstract Lagrangian particle trajectories are widely used to characterize tracer dispersion and mixing driven by mesoscale currents (“eddies”), leading to estimates of eddy diffusivity that can in turn be used in non‐eddy‐resolving and eddy‐permitting ocean models.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality
Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

Certification of Open Source Software Compliance: Insights From a Conjoint Experiment
ABSTRACT Open source software (OSS) is becoming increasingly crucial for companies as they use OSS components in a wide range of products, including cars, smart‐home equipment, and many more, as well as in their internal processes. However, OSS comes with regulations and licensing conditions with which companies need to comply.
