Application of Circular Economy Principles to Power Generation: Extending the Life of A Hydropower Plant by Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The application of circular economy, which aims to maximize efficiency and reduce waste, to renewable energy sources necessitates, given the intermittent nature of the latter, robust energy storage solutions to ensure grid stability and avoid wasting energy.

Water Droplet Hammer: Piezoelectric Sensing of Ultrafast Mechanical Transients During Droplet Impact

Small, EarlyView.
Droplet impact on solid surfaces produces an ultrafast substrate‐coupled mechanical response that is resolved by PVDF piezoelectric sensing. An initial impulsive strain pulse is followed by interfacial oscillations before rebound. Weber‐number and timescale analyses reveal how droplet inertia, surface wettability, impact regime, and liquid viscosity ...

Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.

Mineworkers' Perspectives on Whole‐Body Vibration Exposures in the Ghanaian Mining Industry

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across most industries, there appears to be greater commitment to occupational safety than to occupational health, largely because safety effects are readily observable, whereas health effects are hard to notice, as they take prolonged exposure to become apparent.

Cyanogenic Compounds, Physicochemical Parameters and Metals in Water From Cassava Processing Areas: A Study in the Brazilian Amazon, Using Multivariate Analysis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the water quality of artesian wells and effluents generated in cassava processing in a rural area of Bragança, Pará, with emphasis on physicochemical parameters, multielement composition, and cyanogenic compounds. The well water presented specific nonconformities, highlighting pH values below the recommended level and high
