Experimental investigation of diethyl ether (DEE) blended jack fruit peel oil (JFP) with hydrogen as a secondary fuel in dual-fuel compression ignition engines
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Mar 19. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32861-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTJack fruit peel oil (JFPO) exhibits passive chemical characteristics; thereby, dual-fuel mode frequently involves hydrogen to address its combustion difficulties. This strategy has been gaining prominence nowadays. The present investigation investigates on the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics of a direct injected compression ignition dual-fuel engine operating on a binary fuel blend of jack fruit peel oil (JFPO) and diethyl ether with hydrogen induction. The engine was operated by inducing hydrogen g...

Stabilizing Diluted Active Sites of Ultrasmall High-Entropy Intermetallics for Efficient Formic Acid Electrooxidation
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Mar 19:e202403260. doi: 10.1002/anie.202403260. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe poisoning of undesired intermediates or impurities greatly hinders the catalytic performances of noble metal-based catalysts. Herein, high-entropy intermetallics i-(PtPdIrRu)2FeCu (HEI) are constructed to inhibit the strongly adsorbed carbon monoxide intermediates (CO*) during the formic acid oxidation reaction. As probed by multiple-scaled structural characterizations, HEI nanoparticles are featured with partially negative Pt oxidation states, diluted Pt/Pd/Ir/Ru atomic sites and ultrasmall average size less than...

Air pollution and childhood respiratory consultations in primary care: a systematic review
Conclusions The evidence suggests CO, SO2, NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 are risk factors for respiratory diseases in children in primary care in the short term. However, given the heterogeneity of the studies, interpretation of these findings must be done with caution. PROSPERO registration number CRD42022259279. (Source: Archives of Disease in Childhood)

Risk of dementia due to Co-exposure to air pollution and neighborhood disadvantage
CONCLUSION: Air pollution was associated with greater dementia risk in disadvantaged areas after accounting for competing risks. Air pollution associations with dementia incidence may be attenuated when other risk factors are more prominent in disadvantaged neighborhoods.PMID:38493859 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118709 (Source: Environmental Research)
