Unpacking the progression of climate uncertainty into precarity in the urban context of drylands: the case of floods in Lodwar, Turkana by Korzenevica, M, Ewoton, P, Dyer, E, Ngikadelio, M, Ong’ao Ng’asike, P

“…The paper is grounded within feminist political ecology and is based on multiple predominantly qualitative research methods, mainly semi-structured interviews. We conclude that precarity unfolds through a combination of climate uncertainty, arbitrary vertical (institutional support) and horizontal (social network) disaster governance, and vulnerability defined by structural causes. …”

The transport properties of oxygen vacancy-related polaron-like bound state in HfOx by Wang, Zhongrui, Yu, Hongyu, Su, Haibin

“…Especially, the lowest barrier along the <001> direction is 90 meV, in agreement with the experimental value measured from 135 K to room temperature. This hopping mainly invokes the z-directional motion of hafnium and threefold oxygen atoms in the vicinity of the oxygen vacancy resulted from the synergized combination of coupled phonon modes. …”

Interaction of longitudinal phonons with discrete breather in strained graphene by Evazzade, Iman, Roknabadi, Mahmood Rezaee, Mohammad Behdani, Moosavi, Fatemeh, Xiong, Daxing, Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…It is found that, for the longitudinal sound waves having frequencies below 6 THz, DB is transparent and thus no radiation of energy from DB takes place; whereas for those sound waves with higher frequencies within the acoustic (optical) phonon band, phonon is mainly transmitted (reflected) by DB, and concomitantly, DB radiates its energy when interacting with phonons. …”

Post-treatment of anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) effluent using activated carbon by Mai, Do Thi, Kunacheva, Chinagarn, Stuckey, David C.

“…Batch experiments using six activated carbons to treat AnMBR effluents resulting from the treatment of a synthetic wastewater containing ciprofloxacin were carried out at 35 °C. 22-82% COD was removed at a dose of 1 g activated carbon/L, while size characterization showed the 13.4 kDa and <1 kDa fractions were the most difficult to adsorb, while CIP was often removed with high efficiencies of mainly 100%. Significant removal of VFAs also occurred, up to 100%, and this contributed greatly to COD removal. …”

Loading dynamics of cold atoms into a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber by Wang, Yu, Chai, Shijie, Xin, Mingjie, Leong, Wui Seng, Chen, Zilong, Lan, Shau-Yu

“…However, due to the mismatch of the depth and spatial extension of the trapping potential from free space to the fiber, the number of cold atoms in the fiber is mainly determined by the loading process from free space to waveguide confinement. …”

Synthesizing high purity nano crystalline Y2O3 powder for transparent ceramics by Shawn Berqmans Pereira

“…Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) is one of the nanomaterials that has been widely used in ceramics. It is mainly due to giving its host material ideal physical and chemical properties such as having high melting point, a broad transparency range, corrosion resistance, etc. [1] Before fabrication of yttria ceramics, the Y2O3 powder has to first be synthesized to provide adequate properties to its host material. …”
