Effects of Development Finance on Energy Transitions and Green Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While global agendas promote energy transition and green growth, Africa south of the Sahara (SSA) struggles with low energy access, highlighting a development paradox between climate goals and energy poverty. By aligning aid and development finance with SDGs 7 and 13, we analyze whether development finance is at a crossroads in supporting ...

Effects of Different Straw Returning Periods and Nitrogen Fertilizer Combinations on Rice Roots and Yield in Saline–Sodic Soil

Agronomy
Straw return is an effective management practice for improving physical and chemical properties of saline–sodic soil in Northeast China. Straw decomposition and nutrient release are deeply influenced by soil and climatic factors.

Improved crop yield and reduced nitrate nitrogen leaching with straw return in a rice-wheat rotation of Ningxia irrigation district

, 2018
Field experiments were conducted in rice-wheat rotation under conventional management to determine the effects of straw return ((half straw return, HS) and (total straw return, TS)) on crop yield, N uptake, soil properties and soil NO3−–N leaching.

Creating a Masterpiece. The Road to (and Beyond) Woodward and Hoffmann's 1969 Angewandte Chemie Treatise

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This publication describes how R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann crafted their masterpiece publications. Illustrations include Woodward's first draft of the famous “Violations There are none. Nor can violations be expected of so fundamental a principle of maximum bonding.” Original but discarded text shows the stepwise paths toward the W‐H masterpieces.

Promotion Strategies for Crop Straw Returning to the Field Technology

Frontiers in Science and Engineering
In current agricultural planting, returning straw to the field can effectively improve the physical properties of the soil, increase the organic matter content, enhance the soil's aggregate structure, and further improve soil fertility. This is beneficial for the sowing and production of the next crop, helping to increase yield and quality.
