This research demonstrates how the engineering concept of dynamic similitude can be successfully applied to a lab-scale carbon capture column, allowing its performance to accurately predict that of a larger pilot-scale system. Accurately scaling these technologies is a crucial step for the rapid, widespread deployment of carbon management solutions needed to effectively limit global temperature increase and mitigate the severe impacts of climate change.
This chapter aligns with UN SDG Goals 6 and 13 by discussing advanced water treatment technologies and promoting sustainable water management and climate adaptation strategies.
This article links to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), as it highlights the significant greenhouse gas emissions associated with radiotherapy, a critical component of cancer treatment. By proposing strategies to reduce the environmental impact of oncology care through sustainable practices and treatment modifications, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating health care with climate action efforts to promote both patient well-being and environmental sustainability.
The effect of temperature on language complexity: Evidence from seven million parliamentary speeches
iScience, Volume 27, 21 June 2024
In this study, the authors find that warmer temperatures to reduce language complexity of politicians.
This study is a comprehensive assessment of the effects of climate change mitigation and pollution policies in China, providing policy recommendations.
In this study, the authors analyse alternative pembrolizumab administration strategies that might have environmental advantages over the current dosing and compounding paradigms (improved environmental sustainability without sacrificing clinical outcomes)
The article underscores the need to reform the health claim evaluation process for foods by adopting a holistic approach that integrates multiple nutritional and contaminant attributes. This approach should involve cumulative risk assessment and risk-benefit analysis to provide a more accurate picture of food's health impacts. Such reforms align with global sustainability goals and would help address the complexities of modern food systems, ultimately promoting better health outcomes and environmental stewardship.
The primary outcome of our work is the strong evidence that flood hazards are related to the structural setting of the basin, which includes topography and geology, while the transition of flood hazards into disasters is mainly because of unplanned urbanization.
By depleting soil nutrients, soil degradation (SD) threatens agricultural production and population growth in the Guinea savanna of Ghana. Awoonor et al., 2024 used multivariate statistical techniques on samples collected by using the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) to identify key SD processes, assess soil properties, and propose monitoring strategies. The authors highlight the need for integrated soil fertility management strategies, such as applying organic and inorganic fertilizers, to increase soil nutrient availability and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
