Quantifying the effects of sunlight on the fate of oil spilled at sea by Freeman, Danielle Haas

“…I found that photo-dissolution likely converted ~8% of the floating surface oil to dissolved organic carbon during DwH, a fraction similar in magnitude to other well-recognized fate processes. …”

Global surgery and climate change: how global surgery can prioritise both the health of the planet and its people by Chen, Sophia, Zolo, Yvan, Ngulube, Lumbani, Isiagi, Moses, Maswime, Salome

“…With a focus on promoting health equity, Global Surgery advocates for expanding access to surgical care and enhancing health outcomes, particularly in resource-limited and disaster-affected areas like LMICs. The healthcare industry—and more specifically, surgical care—significantly contributes to the global carbon footprint, primarily through resource-intensive settings, i.e. operating rooms that generate greenhouse gases and substantial medical waste. …”

Study of the thermal decomposition of PFPEs lubricants on a thin DLC film using finitely extensible nonlinear elastic potential based molecular dynamics simulation by Deb Nath, S. K., Wong, C. H.

“…As PFPE Z contains no polar end groups, effects of temperature on the bond/break density (number of broken bonds/total number of bonds) are not so significant like PFPE Zdol. Effects of temperature on the bond/break density of PFPE Z on DLC surface are also discussed with the help of graphical results. …”

3D carbon/cobalt-nickel mixed-oxide hybrid nanostructured arrays for asymmetric supercapacitors by Zhu, Jianhui, Jiang, Jian, Sun, Zhipeng, Luo, Jingshan, Fan, Zhanxi, Huang, Xintang, Zhang, Hua, Yu, Ting

“…Herein, a novel supercapacitor electrode comprising 3D hierarchical mixed-oxide nanostructured arrays (NAs) of C/CoNi3O4 is reported. The network-like C/CoNi3O4 NAs exhibit a relatively high specific surface area; it is fabricated from ultra-robust Co-Ni hydroxide carbonate precursors through glucose-coating and calcination processes. …”

Semantic constraint on preposition incorporation of postverbal locative PPs in Mandarin Chinese by Peck, Jeeyoung, Lin, Jingxia

“…Previous studies claim that adjunct phrases which quantify an event, such as event delimiters, may behave like arguments (“the delimiter hypothesis”). Yet, our observation of Chinese finds that adjunct locative PPs that are not an event delimiter (e.g. directional 向 xiàng/往 wǎng ‘toward’ PPs or non-directional 在 zài ‘at’ PPs) can also allow their prepositional object to appear as the verbal object. …”
