Stability of Perovskite Indoor Photovoltaics: A Focused Review and a Call for Standardized Stability Reporting

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
While perovskite solar cells have been widely studied, including their stability, perovskite indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) have only recently emerged. Nevertheless, more studies are appearing in the literature. The systematic stability study of IPVs is crucial, particularly given the inconsistencies in reported methodologies and results, which call for ...

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...

Rare earth elements as tracers of chemical transfer processes in tropical rain forest soils in french Guiana : S13.04-P -10 [PDF]

, 2012
The rare earth elements (REE) have been successfully used in the past to trace weathering and water/rock interaction in lateritic soil systems. In the present study we used the REE to monitor chemical transfer processes in French Guiana along a ...

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Three Dimensional Printing of Bioinspired Composite Aerogels for Solar Steam Generation

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Freshwater scarcity demands efficient purification strategies. Inspired by desert grasses, reduced graphene oxide‐doped polyacrylamide aerogels with longitudinal grooves are fabricated via high‐speed three‐dimensional printing and freeze‐drying. The biomimetic design enables dual‐mode water transport, achieving a capillary flow of 2.16 cm in 10 minutes

Light rain exacerbates extreme humid heat

Nature Communications
Humid heat waves pose significant risks to human health and the ecosystem. Intuitively, rainfall often alleviates extreme humid heat. However, here we show that light rain often accompanies extreme humid heat, exacerbating its frequency and intensity ...

Study of the Effect of Simulated Rain on the Offset Parabolic Antenna at Ku-Band with Different Elevation Angles

International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2007
Effect of rain on the receiver antenna is a major factor to degrade the system performance in a frequency above 10 GHz. This paper deals with the wet antenna attenuation at Ku-band with three different frequencies at different rain rates.
