EFFICIENCY OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS: A DEVELOPING COUNTRY PERSPECTIVE [PDF]

open access: yes
This study tests weak and semi-strong form efficiency of the foreign exchange market in Sri Lanka using six bilateral foreign exchange rates during the recent float. Weak-form efficiency is examined using unit root tests while semi-strong form efficiency

Bioleaching as an Eco‐Friendly Nano‐Factory for Sustainable Inorganic Waste Management: Current Advancements, Challenges, and Opportunities

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The review explores the latest updates and information about the global trends and hazards of e‐waste and also discusses the bioleaching of metals and nanoparticles from various inorganic wastes. It also focuses on the mechanistic pathway of the bioleaching process and computational aspects. Inorganic waste management and metal recovery technology pose

How safe are peat‐free growing media? An exploration of plant pathogen risks to the horticultural industry and recommendations for risk mitigation

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The UK's horticultural industry is shifting from reliance on unsustainable peat‐based growing media to products that contain alternative constituents, including coir, bark, wood fibre and composted green waste. Some peat‐alternatives carry an elevated risk of harbouring plant pathogens, including the potential to introduce novel pathogens from overseas,

Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated

On the efficiency of stratospheric gravity wave production from mid‐latitude convective systems: 2D versus 3D dynamics

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Due to greater convective organization, our results indicate higher efficiency of gravity wave production in two‐dimensional systems than in three‐dimensional systems. By analyzing the domain‐averaged entrainment rate, we identified a strong correlation between convective organization and gravity wave (GW) production efficiency, with implications for ...
