Factors affecting the innovativeness among Buffalo farmers in the Samsun province of Turkey by Ismet Boz, Aydin Basarir, Eihab Fathelrahman, Osman Kılıç, Berhanu Degefa

“…The factors affecting innovativeness are socioeconomic characteristics such as the age of the farmer, monthly income, and number of animals they own; and communication behaviors included the frequency of meeting with extension staff, the frequency of reading newspapers, the frequency of using the internet, and seeking the opinions of others on agricultural issues. Measures to be taken in the study area to diffuse innovations in buffalo farming are to provide support to farmers such as breeding animals, milking machines, and cooling tanks; to make farmer organizations more effective in the region, and to take adequate measures for the protection and sustainable use of pasture lands in the area, emphasizing the importance of environmental conservation and the role of farmers in achieving it.…”

Rhizon sampler alteration of deep ocean sediment interstitial water samples, as indicated by chloride concentration and oxygen and hydrogen isotopes by Madeline D. Miller, Jess F. Adkins, David A. Hodell

“…We find that samples taken with Rhizons have positive biases in both chloride concentration and stable isotopic ratios relative to those taken by squeezing water from sediments in a hydraulic press. The measured offsets between Rhizon and squeeze samples are consistent with a combination of absorption by and diffusive fractionation through the hydrophilic membrane of the Rhizon sampler. …”

Timing the escape of a photoexcited electron from a molecular cage by Connor Fields, Aleksandra Foerster, Sadegh Ghaderzadeh, Ilya Popov, Bang Huynh, Filipe Junqueira, Tyler James, Sofia Alonso Perez, David A. Duncan, Tien-Lin Lee, Yitao Wang, Sally Bloodworth, Gabriela Hoffman, Mark Walkey, Richard J. Whitby, Malcolm H. Levitt, Brian Kiraly, James N. O’Shea, Elena Besley, Philip Moriarty

“…Despite marginal frontier orbital mixing in the ground configuration, almost 80% of the excited state density is found outside the buckyball due to the formation of a markedly diffuse hybrid orbital. Far from isolating the intracage excitation, the surrounding fullerene is instead a remarkably efficient conduit for electron transfer: we measure characteristic delocalization times of 6.6 ± 0.3 fs and  ≲ 500 attoseconds, respectively, for a 3D Ar@C60 film and a 2D monolayer on Ag(111).…”

Review of Research on Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Axial Flow Compressors by Yong Tian, Dexi Chen, Yuming Zhu, Peng Jiang, Bo Wang, Xiang Xu, Xiaodi Tang

“…As for the experimental investigation, so far, it has been publicly shown that only the University of Notre Dame has conducted an axial-flow compressor experimental test, for the first stage of a 10 MW sCO₂ multistage axial-flow compressor. Although the measured efficiency is higher than that of all known sCO₂ centrifugal compressors, the inlet conditions evidently deviate from the critical point, limiting the applicability of the results to sCO₂ power cycles. …”
