Enhanced removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution using polypyrrole/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite

TL;DR: Thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature and the regenerated adsorbent can be reused successfully for two successive adsorptive-desorption cycles without appreciable loss of its original capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Safe access to safe water in low income countries: Water fetching in current times

TL;DR: Gender differences in water carrying are considered and data about water access and carrying from 44 countries that participated in the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) program is summarized.

Environmental Adaptations and Stress Tolerance of Plants in the Era of Climate Change || Ethylene and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants

Ahmad, +2 more
TL;DR: Under certain conditions, the ambient UV-B might more properly be viewed as a photomorphogenic signal than as a stressor, and it might not be appropriate to evaluate the adaptive roles of plant responses toUV-B cues upon stress tolerance by the simultaneous application of both solar radiation and supplemental UV- B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Projecting Water Withdrawal and Supply for Future Decades in the U.S. under Climate Change Scenarios

TL;DR: A water supply sustainability risk index that takes into account additional attributes such as susceptibility to drought, growth in water withdrawal, increased need for storage, and groundwater use was developed to evaluate areas at greater risk.

Progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets: an assessment of biodiversity trends, policy scenarios and key actions

TL;DR: A more detailed analysis of progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and evidence that underpins the conclusions in GBO-4 and policy-relevant information on the actions needed to achieve each target is provided in this article.

Effects of Urban Spatial Structure, Sociodemographics, and Climate on Residential Water Consumption in Hillsboro, Oregon1

TL;DR: For example, House-Peters et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the spatial patterns of single family residential (SFR) water consumption in Hillsboro, Oregon, at the census block scale.

Environmental Adaptations and Stress Tolerance of Plants in the Era of Climate Change

TL;DR: Prado et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the information regarding the photomorphogenic responses to the solar UV-B and concluded that the ambient UV radiation provides an important signal for the normal plant development and may be perceived by the plants through nondestructive processes involving both UVR8 and nonspecifi c signaling pathways.
