High spatial and temporal resolution water temperature measurements, using DTS, allow to model and to control stream temperature evolution in the Tambarga’s basin (Burkina Faso). A wireless sensor network recorded solar radiation, air temperature, air humi ...
The ability to construct well-defined and controlled hierarchical nanostructured porous architectures is desirable for enhancing the performance of electrochem. pseudocapacitors. Here, we propose design rules for improving capacitive energy storage: use of ...
Several techniques for fabricating functionalized graphene sheet (FGS) electrodes were tested for catalytic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells. By using ethylcellulose as a sacrificial binder, and partially thermolyzing it, we were able to prep. ele ...
Particles are deposited onto a surface with discrete sites. They are subject to an inhibition by which they cannot pass close by a particle already fixed on the surface. This implies that the surface builds up with vertical gaps between the particles. In t ...
The concern for the presence of micropollutants in surface waters is nowadays increasing. Among them, biocides leached from façades have demonstrated to be particularly ecotoxic. This study deals with these chemicals from a new viewpoint. Instead of analyz ...
Numerous studies have shown that, for soils with sparse vegetation cover, stones/rock fragments are an important factor controlling the hydrological response and soil erosion yields. Additionally, it has been observed that this effect is complex and ambiva ...
Soil surface coverage has a significant impact on water infiltration, runoff and soil erosion yields. In particular, surface stones protect the soils from raindrop detachment, they retard the overland flow therefore decreasing its sediment transport capaci ...
We quantified the areal hypolimnetic mineralization rate (AHM; total areal hypolimnetic oxygen depletion including the formation of reduced substances) in two formerly eutrophic lakes based on 20 yr of water-column data collected during oligotrophication. ...
As the water uptake by particles and clouds influences the radiative balance of the Earth, it is desirable to understand the mechanisms and parameters, which regulate water uptake in these colloidal particles. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations w ...
Urban stormwater is an important source of detrimental impacts for receiving waters. Discharges from separated or combined sewer systems are recognized as a major contamination input to the environment. Moreover, these discharges may impact the morphologic ...
