Control of Multicarrier Energy Systems from Buildings to Networks
(2023)Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous SystemsCost, efficiency, and emissions concerns have motivated the application of advanced control techniques to multiple carrier energy systems. Research in energy management and control over the last two decades has shown that significant energy and CO2 emissions reductions can be achieved. Within the last decade, this work has expanded to the domain of interconnected energy systems. The interconnection control of multiple energy carriers, ...Review Article -
Aptamer-functionalized capacitive biosensors
(2023)Biosensors and BioelectronicsThe growing use of aptamers as target recognition elements in label-free biosensing necessitates corresponding transducers that can be used in relevant environments. While popular in many fields, capacitive sensors have seen relatively little, but growing use in conjunction with aptamers for sensing diverse targets. Few reports have shown physiologically relevant sensitivity in laboratory conditions and a cohesive picture on how target ...Review Article -
Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning
(2023)ACM Computing SurveysClimate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and we, as machine learning (ML) experts, may wonder how we can help. Here we describe how ML can be a powerful tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping society adapt to a changing climate. From smart grids to disaster management, we identify high impact problems where existing gaps can be filled by ML, in collaboration with other fields. Our recommendations ...Review Article -
Mapping GHG emissions and prospects for renewable energy in the chemical industry
(2023)Current Opinion in Chemical EngineeringChemicals is the industrial sector with the highest energy demand, using a substantial share of global fossil energy and emitting increasing amounts of greenhouse gasses following rapid growth over the past 25 years. Emissions associated with energy used have increased with growth in coal dependent regions but are also commonly underestimated in regions with higher shares of renewable energy. Renewable energy is key to reducing greenhouse ...Review Article -
Towards optimized membranes for aqueous organic redox flow batteries: Correlation between membrane properties and cell performance
(2023)Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsAqueous organic redox-flow batteries (AORFBs) are an emerging technological solution in the field of grid-scale energy storage, owing to their long lifetime, safety, chemical flexibility, potentially low costs and environmental friendliness. Membranes are a crucial component of the battery as they affect the ohmic resistance and the power density of the cells, as well as the depth-of-discharge and the lifetime and thus, crucially affect ...Review Article -
Does chronic use of amphetamine-type stimulants impair interference control? – A meta-analysis
(2023)Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsIn substance use and addiction, inhibitory control is key to ignoring triggers, withstanding craving and maintaining abstinence. In amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS) users, most research focused on behavioral inhibition, but largely neglected the equally important subdomain of cognitive interference control. Given its crucial role in managing consumption, we investigated the relationship between interference control and chronic ATS use in ...Review Article -
Recent progress in calcium looping integrated with chemical looping combustion (CaL-CLC) using bifunctional CaO/CuO composites for CO2 capture: A state-of-the-art review
(2023)FuelCalcium looping integrated with chemical looping combustion (CaL-CLC) process is an efficient and cost-effective CO2 capture technology. In this technique, the heat generated by chemical looping combustion of CuO is used in-situ to calcine CaCO3, thus avoiding the implementation of the energy-intensive air separation unit (ASU) in the conventional calcium looping (CaL) process for postcombustion CO2 capture. Many studies, including ...Review Article -
Lessons learned from the Second International Agrobiodiversity Congress: Adopting agricultural biodiversity as a catalyst for transformative global food systems
(2023)Current Opinion in Environmental Science and HealthBuilding more sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems means rethinking how we consume, produce, and safeguard agrobiodiversity that can benefit the planet and secure access to nutritious food for all. This was the purpose of the 2021 Second International Agrobiodiversity Congress, convening scientists, Indigenous Peoples, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to share and advance research, nature-positive solutions, and policies. ...Review Article -
A perfect fit: Bacteriophage receptor-binding proteins for diagnostic and therapeutic applications
(2023)Current Opinion in MicrobiologyBacteriophages are the most abundant biological entity on earth, acting as the predators and evolutionary drivers of bacteria. Owing to their inherent ability to specifically infect and kill bacteria, phages and their encoded endolysins and receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) have enormous potential for development into precision antimicrobials for treatment of bacterial infections and microbial disbalances; or as biocontrol agents to tackle ...Review Article -
Environmental controls on very high δ<sup>238</sup>U values in reducing sediments: Implications for Neoproterozoic seawater records
(2023)Earth-Science ReviewsUranium isotopes (δ238U) are a widely applied tool for tracing global changes in oceanic anoxia. Interpretation of seawater values and trends, often reconstructed from carbonates, requires knowledge of the U isotope fractionation that occurs during U reduction, typically favouring the heavier 238U isotope relative to 235U. Yet the environmental controls on the expression of isotope enrichment during reduction (Δ238Uanox) are poorly ...Review Article
