One‐Step Fabrication of Highly Transparent Superhydrophobic Coatings Via Atmospheric Pressure Radio Frequency Plasma Deposition

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Atmospheric‐pressure RF plasma deposition enables the fabrication of transparent, superhydrophobic coatings with anti‐reflective functionality. Process optimization yields high optical transmittance, robust environmental stability, and self‐cleaning properties.

Mitigation of GHGs Emission From Soils by a Catalyzed In-Situ Photo-Oxidative Polymerization of Soil Organic Matter [PDF]

, 2010
Agricultural lands under food and bio-energy crops, managed grass and permanent crops including agro-forestry, occupy about 40-50% of the Earth's land surface^1^. In 2005, agriculture accounted for an estimated emission of 5.1 to 6.1 GtCO2-eq/yr (10-

Consistency between hydrological model, large aperture scintillometer and remote sensing based evapotranspiration estimates for a heterogeneous catchment [PDF]

, 2012
The catchment averaged actual evapotranspiration rate is a hydrologic model variable that is difficult to quantify. Evapotranspiration rates - up till present - cannot be continuously observed at the catchment scale.

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...

Soil aggregation and potential carbon and nitrogen mineralization with cover crops under tropical no-till

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2020
Sustainability of agriculture with no-tillage (NT) production requires appropriate cover cropping and not a simple and random approach of any cover crop species. However, relatively little is known of the long-term soil surface impacts of different cover

Parallel Electrical Integration of Photo Bio Electrochemical Systems (photo‐BESs): Performance Gains and Load Dependency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Biochar and Nitrogen Synergistically Regulate Soil Carbon Mineralization by Enhancing Aggregate Stability and Altering Microbial Function in Intensive Vegetable Systems

Agronomy
Intensive nitrogen (N) fertilization in greenhouse vegetable systems degrades soil structure and accelerates soil carbon (C) mineralization. Biochar application can alleviate these adverse effects by enhancing aggregate stability and mediating ...

Multivariate calibration of a water and energy balance model in the spectral domain [PDF]

, 2011
The objective of this paper is to explore the possibility of using multiple variables in the calibration of hydrologic models in the spectral domain. A simple water and energy balance model was used, combined with observations of the energy balance and ...
