An AQI value of 50 or below is classified as "good air quality," according to health experts. Once the AQI index reaches 100 or above is when the air quality is considered unhealthy and may impact certain groups of people.The Air Quality Index displayed on AirNow.gov shows the ...
The same intuition is applied to other materials science use cases with features that are long in one or two dimensions; for example, delamination in carbon fiber composites, pore space in gas-bearing shale, thin films in power structures, layer-wise metrology of semiconduc...
The stoichiometric coefficients sx−r ∈ N0 and sx+r ∈ N0 denote the number of species x ∈ X that are consumed (on the left-hand side) or produced (on the right-hand side) by the reaction r, respectively. A species x ∈ X is an educt in reaction r if sx−r > 0 and a ...
Altering personal consumption is regarded as one of the most promising ways to mitigate climate change [1]. Globally, approximately two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions and 50–80 % of water, land, and material use can be linked either directly or indirectly to consuming [2], meaning that ...
The motivations for such inconsistency can be manyfold and a coherent theoretical framework furnishing a unified explanation is still lacking (Kollmuss & Agye- man, 2002). This work draws on this recent strand of research that digs deeper into the reasons why consumers do not act in accordance...
The tree was rooted by root-to-tip regression analysis, meaning that the branch length is most correlated with isolation date under the assumption of a strict molecular clock (correlation = 0.95). Three evolutionary events indicated with Event I, II, and III (with 100% bootstrap support, ...
With the described changes in scope, participation, and investment focus in the past seven years since its existence and its growing impact in both the academic and political realm, the natural question arises: what will the future BRI look like? There is a multitude of quantitative studies of...
In its most general meaning, the term molecule can describe any kind of particle (even a single atom) having a unique chemical identity. Even at the end of the 19th century, when compounds and their formulas had long been in use, some prominent chemists doubted that molecules (or atoms) ...
The purpose of this paper is to study what are the characteristics that make firms less or more prone to greenwashing. We collect data from sustainability
Politics of expertise Pathways Carbon dioxid removal Mapmaker 1. Introduction The main aim of international climate policy, as codified in the 2015 Paris Agreement, is to strengthen the global response to climate change by restricting the average global temperature rise this century to ‘well below’...
