Synthesis, structure, and visible-light-driven activity of o-YbFeO3/h-YbFeO3/CeO2 photocatalysts by Sofia M. Tikhanova, Lev A. Lebedev, Svetlana A. Kirillova, Maria V. Tomkovich, Vadim I. Popkov

“…It was found that nanocrystalline components were chemically and phase-pure, uniformly spatially distributed over the nanocomposite, and had multiple contacts with each other. Based on this fact and the established electronic structure of the nanocomposite components, the formation of I-type heterojunction with the participation of o-YbFeO3 (Eg = 2.15 eV), h-YbFeO3 (Eg = 2.08 eV), and CeO2 (Eg = 2.38 eV) was shown, the presence of which increased photocatalytic activity of the resulting nanocomposite. …”

Comparison and theoretical conceptualization analysis of statistical methods used to develop heat vulnerability indices in urban areas by Thomas Lagelouze, Julia Hidalgo, Mitia Aranda, Guillaume Dumas

“… In view of the impact of extreme temperatures on physical and psychological health, particularly in urban areas, several studies have focused on assessing social vulnerability using quantitative indexing approaches with the aim of creating a heat vulnerability index (HVI). In this context, this study employs three statistical methodologies frequently used to construct HVIs on the territory of the Toulouse Métropole, France, at the census block (IRIS) scale to assess the efficiency of this type of approach for evaluating social vulnerability in urban environments considering the current theoretical conceptualization. …”
