Importance of SLAPE Solar Panels, Electrochemical CO2 Reduction, Alkaline Electrolyzers and Alkaline Fuel Cells Development to Achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goalsby
Ibram Ganesh
Abstract The United Nations Organization (UNO) in the year 2015 formulated seventeen sustainable development goals (UNO’s 17 SDGs) to be achieved by the end of the year 2030. The so far achieved progress indicates that none of these UNO’s 17 SDGs can be achieved before the deadline. In fa [...] 960 5972 |
Lanthanum Uptake and Distribution in Agricultural and Wild Plants: Insights from Greenhouse and Field Studies in Uncontaminated SoilsAbstract Lanthanum (La) is widely used in various fields. As a consequence, it can accumulate in soil and thus pose a potential hazard to the environment, including a decrease of plant biomass and chlorophyll content. To date, most experimental studies on the biogeochemistry of La have focused on toxic effec [...] 1121 4634 |
Modeling the Mesoscopic-Scale Spatial Evolution of the Epileptic Pre-Ictal and Ictal PhasesAbstract The spatial evolution of the epileptiform regime in neural networks can be alternatively described in terms of a statistical approach, dealing with average smooth, differentiable fields rather than discrete neural elements. After a brief review of mathematical methods for modeling epilepsy (the cond [...] 925 3882 |
