Rapid dark aging of biomass burning as an overlooked source of oxidized organic aerosol

Athanasios Nenes

Oxidized organic aerosol (OOA) is a major component of ambient particulate matter, substantially impacting climate, human health, and ecosystems. OOA is readily produced in the presence of sunlight, and requires days of photooxidation to reach the levels o ...

Greater Contribution From Agricultural Sources to Future Reactive Nitrogen Deposition in the United States

Athanasios Nenes

Many sensitive ecosystems in areas protected for biodiversity conservation in the United States suffer from exposure to excess reactive nitrogen (Nr) released by fossil fuel combustion and agricultural practices and deposited onto the land surface and wate ...

Design of Stable Palladium-Based Zeolite Catalysts for Complete Methane Oxidation by Postsynthesis Zeolite Modification

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas aftertreatment to reduce methane emissions from lean burn natural gas vehicles as well as in stationary combustion processes. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide high activity for this reaction, but they deactiva ...

Sources and variability of CO 2 in a pre‐alpine stream gravel bar

Tom Ian Battin

Gravel bars (GBs) contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from stream corridors, with CO2 concentrations and emissions dependent on prevailing hydraulic, biochemical, and physicochemical onditions. We investigated CO2 concentrations and fluxes across ...

Sub-MeV dark matter and the Goldstone modes of superfluid helium

Angelo Esposito

We show how a relativistic effective field theory for the superfluid phase of 4 He can replace the standard methods used to compute the production rates of low-momentum excitations due to the interaction with an external probe. This is done by studying the ...

Can timber lower the environmental impact of tall buildings?

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

The building sector is responsible for 30% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (UNEP, 2009). Recent energy efficiency measures have helped reduce the operational carbon related to the use phase of the building, but a lack of industry attention ...

Geospatial analysis and optimization of the incoming and stored CO2 emissions within the EPFL campus

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Silvia Coccolo, Roberto Castello

All the projected scenarios agree on the immediate necessity of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). This research proposes an analysis on the EPFL campus of all the potential reductions of CO2 emissions: energy refurbishment ...

Accounting for near-wellbore fracture behavior to unlock the potential of unconventional gas wells

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Despite ongoing engineering efforts, unconventional horizontal gas wells completed with the multi-stage hydraulic fracturing technique are not yet producing to their full potential, as a meaningful proportion of clusters are producing marginally - if at al ...

NAGRA Project Order 16’189 EBS – Task Force: Gas Transport in Bentonite

Lyesse Laloui, Aldo Madaschi

The Task 7 of the EBS task force is devoted to the modelling of gas transport phenomena in saturated bentonite. It was launched mid‐2016 with the following objectives: - To survey existing modelling tools for the simulation of gas migration in saturated be ...

Simulating Biogenic Secondary Organic Aerosol During Summertime in China

Athanasios Nenes, Yun Seong Song, Mengmeng Li

Biogenic secondary organic aerosol (BSOA) contributes significantly to summertime organic particulate matter. In this study, a simulation of BSOA for summer 2012 over China is performed using the Community Multiscale Air Quality model with an explicit repr ...

Elastic behavior of partially saturated gas shales during unloading - reloading cycles in uniaxial compression

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Elastic properties of gas shales are of utmost importance for the exploitation of shale gas reservoirs. Static elastic properties are usually measured by performing unloading-reloading cycles in uniaxial or triaxial compressive tests. The response of gas s ...
