Enhancing proximal and remote sensing of soil organic carbon: A local modelling approach guided by spectral and spatial similarities by Qi Sun, Pu Shi

“…Increasing the weight assigned to geographical similarity during local learning enabled the selection of compositionally similar samples, which improved SOC prediction accuracy by 10.87 %, 2.50 %, and 7.21 % for RGB, DRS, and RSBS datasets compared to models relying on spectral similarity alone. …”

Mechanical properties of natural gas wellbore structure under non-uniform load by Dongyin LI, Mingliang LI, Wen WANG, Yuxi HAO, Shen WANG, Hongbin LI

“…In areas where natural gas and coal resources overlap, the movement of overburden caused by high-intensity coal mining causes radial compression and deformation or even destruction of the natural gas well body structure within the protective coal pillar. The natural gas diffused from the damaged area can easily lead to fire, explosion or personnel poisoning accidents in coal mines. …”

Recent advances in H2 purification and CO2 capture: Evolving from flat sheet to hollow fiber membranes by Jun Yi Teh, Wai Fen Yong

“…Additionally, H2/CO2 separation remains particularly challenging because H2, being diffusivity-selective, permeates more quickly through the membrane due to its smaller molecular size and higher kinetic energy, while CO2, being solubility-selective, has a high affinity for dissolving in most polymeric membranes. …”

Preparation of Magnetic Photocatalyst Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@Fe-TiO₂ and Photocatalytic Degradation Performance of Methyl Orange in Na₂SO... by Li Sun, Zilong Li, Zhigang Yuan, Ying Liu, Shunqi Mei, Fanhe Meng, Xingyu Ouyang, Yi Xiong, Ke Zhang, Zhen Chen

“…In this study, Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@TiO₂ (FS-FT (0 g)) photocatalysts, featuring a magnetic core–shell structure, and Fe-doped Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@Fe-TiO₂ (FS-FT (x g)) photocatalysts, were fabricated via the sol–gel method. Structural and compositional analyses of the processed samples were systematically conducted through X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED), surface-sensitive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and optical property assessment via UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS). …”

The European Synarchy: New Discourses on Sovereignty by Dimitris N. Chryssochoou

“…Within the latter, public authority should not reside within a single decision-making centre, but rather should be diffused among different governance levels and forms of social, political and cultural contention that can combine territorial and substantive public issues.…”
