Calcium carbonate dissolution is the dominant negative feedback in the ocean for neutralizing the acidity from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide. Mimicking this natural process, the accelerated weathering of limestone (AWL) can store carbon as bicarbonate in the ocean for tens of thousands of years. Here, we evaluate the potential of AWL on ships as a carbon sequestration approach. We show a successful prediction of laboratory measurements using a model that includes the most recent calcite dissolution kinetics in seawater. When simulated along a Pacific shipping lane in the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean-Darwin ocean-general circulation model, surface alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon increase by <1.4% after 10 years of continuous operation, leaving a small pH and partial pressure of carbon dioxide impact to the ocean while reducing 50% carbon dioxide emission in maritime transportation.

Objective: This study investigated the locations of amino acid modifications within two major human hair keratins (Type I K31 and Type II K85) with probable implications for protein and hair structural component integrity. The particular focus was on cysteine modifications that disrupt intra-protein and inter-protein disulphide bonds.
Methods: Human hair was exposed to accelerated, sequential heat or UV treatments, simulating effects resulting from the use of heated styling tools and environmental exposure over a time frame approximating one year.

Low-temperature rechargeable batteries face great challenges due to the sluggish reaction kinetics. Redox covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with porous structures provide a viable solution to accelerate the ionic diffusion and reaction kinetics at low temperatures. However, the applications of COFs in low-temperature batteries are still at their infancy stage.

The spoilage of bulgur, characterized by a distinctive off-odor, poses a significant challenge to the bulgur industry, resulting in an annual production loss of 10 %. The tempering process plays a critical role to prevent this problem. This study investigated spoilage under high-moisture tempering conditions (15-27 % moisture, 25, 35 and 45 °C, 0-12 h), focusing on off-odor formation, volatile compounds and microbial activity.

While restructuring agricultural products enhances heat and mass transfer during freeze-drying, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study employed a multiscale approach, combining freezing dynamics, sublimation drying kinetics, X-ray tomography, gas permeability assessments, thermodynamic parameters analysis, and mathematical modeling to systematically investigate the differences in transfer properties between natural and restructured peaches across the freezing and sublimation drying processes. Key results demonstrated that restructuring decreased the freezing time by 21.
