Leachability, decay, and termite resistance of wood treated with metaborates
The formation of insoluble metaborates in wood was investigated by impregnating the wood with borax and metallic salts, after which their properties (e.g., leachability in running water and biological resistance) were evaluated. The solubility of three metaborates in acidic solutions was also evaluated.

Efficiency of Vegetable Oils in Wood Resistance to Cryptotermes brevis Termites [PDF]
ABSTRACT Natural products have been studied in order to ensure environmental sustainability, human health, and diminish the use of traditional products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of pure andiroba (Carapa guianensis), copaiba (Copaifera langsdorffii) and jatropha (Jatropha curcas) oils and enriched with iodine (I2) on ...

Abstract Urban methane emissions remain highly uncertain due to the complexity of overlapping anthropogenic sources and limitations in current bottom‐up inventories. In this study, we apply a synthesis inversion framework to refine sector‐specific methane emissions for the Melbourne region in Australia, using in situ atmospheric observations and a ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
