Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...

Reduced contrail radiative effect for fleets with low soot and water vapour emissions

Atmospheric Environment: X
Besides the goal of net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, reducing aviation’s climate impact also involves addressing other forcing effects, particularly radiative forcing from contrails.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jasmonic acid (JA)‐deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis‐mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying

Assessment of soot formation and thermal radiation in syngas flame using oxygen-enhanced combustion under lean mixing conditions and acetylene doping

International Journal of Thermofluids
Combustion is a predominant global energy source, yet it contributes substantially to environmental degradation through greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter, including soot.

Surface Ligand Engineering in Quantum Dot Photocatalysis: Mechanisms, Design Principles, and Applications

Advanced Chemical Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2026.
Surface ligands govern quantum dot photocatalysis through thermodynamic band‐edge tuning, kinetic charge‐transfer regulation, and microenvironmental control. Rational ligand engineering, using short‐chain, inorganic, conjugated, or dual‐ligand systems, enables efficient solar fuel production, selective organic transformations, environmental remediation,

A Two‐Way Coupled Simulation Framework for the Prediction of Fire‐Induced Damage and Smoke Propagation in a Building

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The contribution is concerned with a fully coupled simulation methodology for fire‐induced damage in concrete structures. Fire events in buildings not only generate high temperatures and the spreading of smoke gases but also induce significant structural damages of the concrete structure.

Few Shot Learning for Flame State Monitoring From Limited Visible and Infrared Images

Expert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The success of machine learning in image‐based combustion monitoring requires big data, which is costly, and even impossible in industrial applications. To address this, we introduce metric‐based few shot learning for combustion monitoring and classification, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time.
