Cu-based pesticides are widely used in vineyards to control fungal diseases, but their repeated application leads to Cu accumulation in soils, posing environmental and ecological risks. Since Cu mobility, bioavailability, and potential toxicity depend not only on total concentrations but also on chemical fractionation and ageing processes, this study investigated Cu speciation—including water-soluble Cu (Cu W ), exchangeable C...
Motoric cognitive risk (MCR) syndrome, characterized by the coexistence of subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) and slow gait speed, has been identified as a potential risk factor for objective cognitive impairment and dementia. This research article performs a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between MCR syndrome and objective cognitive impairment. Cross-sectional...
Water injection is a promising alternative to traditional air lubrication for reducing ship hull drag and improving energy efficiency. Addressing the limited research on the efficacy of water lubrication on ships, this novel study is the first to numerically evaluate its performance on a flat-plate model, systematically investigating key operational and geometrical parameters. The rectangular flat plate model of finite thickne...
This review paper investigates the use of air lubrication to reduce ship hull skin frictional drag, a technology whose fundamental drag-reduction mechanisms and impact on seakeeping are increasingly being studied through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simulating this process is challenging, as the air phase often manifests as dispersed bubbles rather than a continuous film, necessitating high-fidelity models. Traditional...
Predicting the geometrical evolution of the pore space in geological formations due to fluid–solid interactions has applications in reservoir engineering, oil recovery, and geological storage of carbon dioxide. However, modeling frameworks that combine fluid flow with physical and chemical processes at a rock’s pore scale are scarce. Here, we report a method for modeling a rock’s pore space as a network of connected capillarie...
Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...
Integrated Approach to Ship Electrification Using Fuel Cells and an Ammonia Decomposition SystemOA Marine
This study investigates the environmental and economic performance of integrating a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, battery systems, and an organic Rankine cycle-based waste heat recovery system for ship electrification. The analysis examines an onboard ammonia decomposition system for hydrogen production and ammonia production pathways. Additionally, the study benchmarks the effectiveness of onboard ammonia decomposition...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
