Piezo-catalytic in-site H2O2 generation and activation across wide pH range to drive hydroxyl radical-mediated pollutant degradation

Nature Communications
Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) is one of the most important reactive oxygen species (ROSs) for organic pollution controlling in advanced oxidation processes, while its production suffers from numerous H2O2 addition and narrow pH range in generally used Fenton ...

Notable Impact of Paleotectonic Stress on Gold Mineralisation in the West Qinling Orogen

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
By applying fuzzy clustering and multiple inverse methods, we systematically processed the data of vein and fault slip in this ore deposit to reveal the transition of orogenic geological environment and paleotectonic stress field. Our research results show two different stress states: the northwest–southeast extensional stress field and the northeast ...

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Farmers' Soil–Water Management Practices and Perspectives on Soil Salinization in Mirab Abaya District, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a critical threat, impacting 20% of the world's irrigated lands and jeopardizing food security. In Ethiopia's Mirab Abaya district of the Gamo Zone, unsustainable irrigation methods exacerbate this issue. This paper examines local farmers' soil–water management systems and their awareness of salinization, aiming to educate

Increasing drying changes the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Increased drying of rivers under global climate change is leading to biodiversity loss. However, it is not clear whether biodiversity loss affects river functions. In this study, we investigated the changes in biofilm community diversity and functions in
