The effect of organic farming systems on aspects of the environment - desk study OF0123 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Key Conclusions 1. The crop rotations of organic systems maintain landscape diversity and biodiversity whilst the maintenance of field boundaries on organic units produces benefits to a wide range of organisms. 2. Inorganic nitrogen fertilisation and

Repeated Disuse Atrophy Imprints a Molecular Memory in Skeletal Muscle: Transcriptional Resilience in Young Adults and Susceptibility in Aged Muscle

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Repeated disuse imprints a molecular memory in skeletal muscle, conferring transcriptional resilience in young adults but exaggerated susceptibility in aged muscle, driven by epigenetic regulation of aerobic metabolism, mitochondrial and NAD+ pathways.

Molecularly Engineered Phenoxazinone‐Skeleton Cascade‐Activated NIR Probes for Monitoring Fe2+/Viscosity in Ferroptosis‐Mediated Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A series of Fe2+/viscosity cascade‐activated NIR fluorescence probes (NP1–5) are synthesized, and NP3 is selected for its optimal properties. To verify application of NP3 in ferroptosis intervention in PD, PQR NPs, is constructed by NP3 and quercetin self‐assembling.

Grazing alters plant biomass allocation by regulating soil available nutrients and root biomass distribution in alpine meadows

open access: yesGeoderma
Plant biomass allocation is important for understanding the material cycle and turnover in grassland ecosystems under environmental changes. However, biomass allocation involves two main hypotheses, optimal and isometric allocation, that remain ...

The Impact of River Flow Restrictions on Instruments to Control noPoint Nitrate Pollution [PDF]

open access: yes
An economic analysis of policies to control nonpoint source nitrate pollution in the presence of minimum river flow restrictions was undertaken. A non-linear bio-physical economic optimisation model of an intensively cultivated Scottish agricultural ...

Evaluation of agri-environmental policies for water quality improvement accounting for firm heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Policy makers worldwide are interested in the identification of cost-effective policy instruments to reduce diffuse pollution. A large economic model representing heterogeneous farms is used to evaluate a broad set of policies for reducing nitrate ...

Dual‐Band Modulation of Emissivity and Solar Transmittance Through Chemical Composition‐Tuned Asymmetric Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An unconventional asymmetric Layer‐by‐Layer (LbL) assembly technique was developed to fabricate a Fabry‐Pérot (F‐P) resonator, which enhances luminous transmittance (Tlum) and enables dual‐band modulation in both the near‐infrared (NIR) and mid‐infrared (MIR) regions.

Selective Electrolysis of Water Under Artificial Seawater Conditions Using Transition Metal Borate Anodes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The borate‐based cobalt‐iron catalyst promotes selective oxidation of water rather than chlorine evolution reaction during electrolysis of seawater. When integrated into a zero‐gap electrolyzer prototype, this catalyst supports robust splitting of artificial seawater into oxygen and hydrogen on an extended timescale.
