Understanding metal concentration and speciation in motorway runoff
Although highway runoff has historically been extensively studied, the increasing complexity of stormwater management means that there are still significant gaps regarding the... -
Sensitivity of elastic thickness to water in the Martian lithosphere
Abstract Ancient Mars likely hosted oceans similar to those on Earth; however, such water is not presently observed on Mars. One possible explanation for the lack of present-day... -
Magnitude and influence of atmospheric phosphorus deposition on the southern ...
Abstract Background There are various ways for nutrients to enter aquatic ecosystems causing eutrophication. Phosphorus deposition through precipitation can be one pathway,... -
The challenges of estimating the distribution of flight heights from telemetr...
Abstract Background Global positioning systems (GPS) and altimeters are increasingly used to monitor vertical space use by aerial species, a key aspect of their ecological... -
The Polarization Properties of the Reflection Spectra of Single-Layer MoS2 an...
Abstract MoS2 and ReS2 are typical transition metal chalcogenides with many excellent electrical and optical properties. Due to different lattice symmetries, ReS2 offers one... -
The Planetary Accounting Framework: a novel, quota-based approach to understa...
Abstract Background Human impacts on the environment are so great that we are at risk of changing the state of the planet from one that is hospitable to one that is hostile to... -

Human actions are degrading water quality, affecting the health of ecosystems and the availability of potable water for human consumption. Therefore, the monitoring of water... -
Empirical investigation of precipitation of hexadecanoic acid from toluene/br...
Naphthenic acids, due to their tendency to precipitate out of solution when in contact with formation water, present a formidable challenge for the petroleum industry. In this... -
CCT- and CRI-tuning of white light-emitting diodes using three-dimensional no...
This study exhibited the correlated color temperature (CCT)- and color-rendering index (CRI)-tuning behavior of light emission from white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) using... -
Measurement of shipwreck-derived waterborne trace metals using DGT samplers
A contemporary approach to the assessment of metal pollutants in aquatic environments has been to measure contaminant concentrations in biological indicator species (mussels,... -
Epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic revi...
Abstract Background So far, only one meta-analysis has estimated the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Africa. Out of 10 studies included in that meta-analysis, nine... -
Deforestation since independence: a quantitative assessment of four decades o...
Land cover has changed rapidly across the tropics over the past century; however, detailed historical information describing the extent and possible drivers of such change is... -
