Determination of the Key Parameters Influencing Dislodgeable Foliar Pesticide Residues'
(2019-09-04)
Dislodgeable foliar residue (DFR) is the amount of pesticide residue deposited on plant leaves after pesticide application which may be dislodged by people during the performance of various tasks. This can subsequently be ...
Opportunities for financing sustainable development using complementary local currencies
(2019-09-02)
Financing building retrofit projects that contribute to climate change mitigation has always represented a significant barrier. With 28% of global emissions coming from existing buildings, it is of paramount importance to ...
Calibration of the cloud and aerosol spectrometer for coal dust composition and morphology
(2019-09-01)
The cloud and aerosol spectrometer (CAS) was calibrated to enable CAS sizing of coal dust for studies on flammable dust control. Coal dust sizes were determined by light-scattering theories for irregular particles that ...
