Is solid calcium looping a scalable technology for mega-ton carbon dioxide removal?
Atmospheric CO2 removal at Gton scale is necessary to limit global temperature rise. This study provides essential insights into the energy, area, and water requirements of solid calcium looping for large-scale CO2 removal, combining experimental results

Betel quid dependence (BQD) is a prevalent psychoactive substance‐use disorder with unclear neuropathology. Using resting‐state fMRI, we evaluated cerebral glymphatic function in BQD individuals by measuring the coupling between global BOLD and cerebrospinal fluid signals.

Effect of environmental pollution on susceptibility of sesquioxide-rich soils to water erosion
This work assessed the impact of environmental pollution on soils susceptibility to water erosion within South-eastern Nigeria. Sources of pollutants which could possibly affect the chemical composition of runoff; hence its pH, were first determined by ...

Migration of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Soil Under Rainfall Simulation
A rainfall simulation is conducted to evaluate the migration of PFAS in soil spiked with aqueous‐film‐forming foam during rainfall. Most PFAS migrate via leaching, followed by runoff. High PFAS concentration in soil (⩾30 mg/kg) could alter soil hydraulic conductivity and inhibits leaching.

Weathering Influence on Properties of Siltstones from Istria, Croatia
Slaking and weathering of weak rocks result in slope instability. Siltstones from flysch rock masses are highly susceptible to weathering, which causes rapid changes in the geotechnical properties and durability. This study investigated siltstone samples

Cover crop residues effect on soil structural stability and phosphatase activity
Good soil aggregate stability and soil enzyme activity are strictly necessary for the proliferation of plants growth and soil resistance against erosion. In this study, the goal was to investigate the effect of different cover crops on the soil aggregate

Increasing Population and Cropland Exposure to Human‐Induced Sequential Heatwave‐Downpour Events
Abstract Compound sequential heatwave‐downpour (SHD) events, characterized by abrupt shifts from heatwaves to heavy rainfall, pose serious threats to health, infrastructure, and agriculture. However, the anthropogenic influence on the increasing trend of SHD events is poorly understood, and projections also exhibit large uncertainties.
