...to predict the chemistry of ash-forming elements in biomass and waste combustion for corrosion- or deposition-related issues. One major limitation is the lack of comprehensive databases that contain the thermodynamic data of ash compounds and phases formed during combustion. The present paper is a review...
...public perceptions, environmental policy, and mitigation strategies going forward. It is therefore vital that the corresponding data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). To investigate the findability and accessibility of microplastics data and data management practices within the...
The next, and possibly final, round of the ‘Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction’ (BBNJ) negotiations will begin on February 20th, with high hopes for completion of a strong treaty. But significant issues remain unresolved across the package of issues, especially in regards to Environmental Impact...
Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor perspective. However, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) represents an emitter perspective...
...to clarify strategies of large scale industrial chilling of big-size fishes. Experiments were conducted using polyurethane copies of real fishes (3.5 and 6.0 kg), which were equipped with temperature sensors at different points. Convective heat transfer coefficient was determined with a numerical model...
...locations has been an industry-wide trend for the last decade. Moving fish farms to locations with high water currents and waves can improve production by providing more stable temperatures and water quality, as well as reducing the negative environmental impacts of fish farming. This study investigates how...
...drawn to this field to investigate and subsequently mitigate the negative impacts of plastics. Solving the multi-faceted plastic problem will always require breakthroughs across all levels of science disciplinarity, which supports interdisciplinary discoveries and underpins transdisciplinary solutions...
