Light rain exacerbates extreme humid heat

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Spheres, tears, and spears: Regulating the perimeter and circularity of millimeter‐sized alginate hydrogel beads

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Generating hydrogel beads pertains to many engineering applications. We examined two alginate‐based fluids at three concentrations of alginate, cAG$$ {c}_{\mathrm{AG}} $$. We used the “Map of Misery” to determine which material property (viscosity, elasticity, and inertia) drives droplet formation.

Upcycling Spent Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Into Fe‐CN3P Single Atom Catalyst for Environmental Remediation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Electrochemical (EC) advanced oxidation enables near‐complete lithium and iron recovery from spent lithium iron phosphate batteries, while simultaneously transforming leach residues into a high‐performance P, N‐doped single‐atom Fe catalyst. The reconstructed Fe–CN3P catalyst exhibits exceptional peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and rapid bisphenol A

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Acidity of Monsoon Rain Water

open access: yesMAUSAM, 1964
pH of rain water from continuous rains at Calcutta and Bombay were studied, It is found that the pH values lie within 6 and 7 pH of neutral rain water in monsoon is close to but less than.7.0. Thus it dissolves little carbon, dioxide whereas studies in Europe show that dissolved carbon dioxide In rain water is probably in equilibrium with the ...
