Since the 1950s, plastic production has skyrocketed. Various environmental and human activities are leading to formation accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic terrestrial ecosystems, causing detrimental effects on water, soil, plants, living creatures. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) one primary MP management centers meant check their entry into natural systems. However, there cons...

We report on the commonly unaccounted for process of recombination under short-circuit conditions in nanostructured photoelectrodes with special attention to the charge collection efficiency. It is observed that when recombination under short circuit conditions is significant, small perturbation methods overestimate the charge-collection efficiency, which is related to the inaccurate determinat...

Aragão and Shimabukuro (Reports, 4 June 2010, p. 1275) reported that fires increase in agricultural frontiers even as deforestation decreases and concluded that these fires lead to unaccounted carbon emissions under the United Nations climate treaty's tropical deforestation and forest degradation component. Emissions from post-deforestation management activities are, in fact, included in these ...
