Journal ArticleDOI
Rethink the Nicaragua Canal
TL;DR: There is still time for the Nicaraguan government to reconsider the Grand Canal project and convene independent assessments and meetings that are transparent, inclusive, and respectful of different perspectives, to guide the project toward the best outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of C/N/P ratio and nonionic surfactants on polychlorinated biphenyl biodegradation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) removal from a highly contaminated soil (7000-p.p.) could be enhanced by manipulating the carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus (C/N/P) ratio, and by nonionic surfactant addition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying hydrophobicity of natural organic matter using partition coefficients in aqueous two-phase systems
TL;DR: KATPS can be used as quantitative measure of NOM hydrophobicity that facilitates routinely characterizing the interfacial properties of Nom.
