The critical role of risk in setting directions for water, food and energy policy and research

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) challenge markets, regulators and practitioners to achieve multiple objectives on water, food and energy. This calls for responses that are coordinated and scaled appropriately. Learning from water-energy-food nexus ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects in Water at the Triple Point: Using Theory as a Link Between Experiments

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

One of the most prominent consequences of the quantum nature of light atomic nuclei is that their kinetic energy does not follow a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Deep inelastic neutron scattering (DINS) experiments can measure this effect. Thus, the nucle ...

An in-situ assessment of low-density polyethylene and silicone rubber passive samplers using methods with and without performance reference compounds in the context of investigation of polychlorinated biphenyl sources in rivers

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Nicolas Estoppey, Adrien Schopfer, Camille Fong

This study firstly aims to assess the field performances of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and silicone rubber (SR) samplers for the monitoring of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in water regarding the uptake, the sam- pling rate (RS) estimated by using ...

Fast diffusion of water nanodroplets on graphene

Gabriel Aeppli, Gabriele Tocci, Ming Ma

Diffusion across surfaces generally involves motion on a vibrating but otherwise stationary substrate. Here, using molecular dynamics, we show that a layered material such as graphene opens up a new mechanism for surface diffusion whereby adsorbates are ca ...

Non-proportional Repartition Rules Optimize Environmental Flows and Energy Production

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Lorenzo Gorla, Pierre Razurel

In order to meet the growing demand for energy, the development of hydropower leads to an increase of the river exploitation by human activities. Thereby, water management has become a major issue in the energy transition. A better definition of the flow r ...

Frictional evolution, acoustic emissions activity and off-fault damage in simulated faults sheared at seismic slip rates

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

We present a series of high-velocity friction tests conducted on Westerly granite, using the Slow to HIgh Velocity Apparatus (SHIVA) installed at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Roma with acoustic emissions (AEs) monitored at high frequency ...

What interactions can distort the orientational distribution of interfacial water molecules as probed by second harmonic and sum frequency generation?

Sylvie Roke

Aqueous interfaces are omnipresent in nature. Nonlinear optical methods such as second harmonic and sum frequency generation (SHG/SFG) are valuable techniques to access molecular level information from these interfaces. In the interpretation of SHG and SFG ...

Contrasting effects of untreated textile wastewater onto the soil available nitrogen-phosphorus and enzymatic activities in aridisol

Alexandre Buttler, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz

Water shortage and soil qualitative degradation are significant environmental problems in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The increasing demand for water in agriculture and industry has resulted in the emergence of wastewater use as an alternative ...

Simulating ice layer formation under the presence of preferential flow in layered snowpacks

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Charles Fierz

For physics-based snow cover models, simulating the formation of dense ice layers inside the snowpack has been a long-time challenge. Their formation is considered to be tightly coupled to the presence of preferential flow, which is assumed to happen throu ...
