Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a method that aims to reduce the effects of ocean acidification and help marine life. It's been suggested that OAE could potentially help marine creatures that make shells or skeletons out of calcium carbonate, known as marine calcifiers. However, recent studies
Hawaii's Big Island has two unique beaches: Papakolea and Richardson Ocean Park. They are quite different. Papakolea is exposed to the open ocean and has fine sand. Richardson is sheltered and has coarse sand. This makes them perfect for studying how microbes live in different coastal environmen
A new delivery center is taking shape in south Kalispell. This project, known as Project Wolfpack in city records, is a last-mile facility. It is designed to be the final stop for products before they reach customers' hands. The building will cover about 28, 000 square feet. It is situated on United
Switchgrass is a tough plant. It can handle harsh conditions, like soil with too much salt and sodium. This makes it a great choice for places where other plants can't survive. But even switchgrass needs a helping hand sometimes. That's where Rhizophagus irregularis and biochar come in. Rhizoph
Cement plants are power-hungry operations. But what if they could transform their waste heat into electricity? This is where the Kalina Cycle comes in. It's a clever system designed to capture heat from two main sources: the flue gas from the suspension preheater and the hot air from the clinker coo
Mindy Kaling’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony was a big deal. She was given a star on the famous walk. Her friend B. J. Novak gave a speech that was both funny and heartfelt. He joked about how much Mindy loves being famous, even though it's a weird part of her job. He also praised her for handling
Water quality is a big deal. It's important for our environment and the systems we build. Alkalinity is a key part of water quality. It's been measured in many ways, from old-school titrations to fancy spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods. Each has its pros and cons. But what if there was
Ever wondered how adding a tiny ingredient like glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) can transform alkaline dough and steamed buns? This study dug deep into the effects of GDL during thermal treatment. It turns out that GDL gives alkaline dough a boost in viscoelasticity and fluidity by strengthening intermolecu
Imagine you're a scientist, curious about how human placental extract (HPE) eye drops can help with dry eyes and burns. You decide to test it out on mice, comparing it to other treatments like carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and human peripheral blood serum (HPBS). First, you create models of dry eyes
Red mud, a waste product from alumina production, is highly alkaline and poses significant environmental risks when disposed of in large quantities. The problem lies in its high alkali content, which can cause harm to ecosystems. The study dives into the makeup and properties of these alkaline compo
