The sustainable water use especially for irrigated agriculture in the Texas Panhandle Region is a major concern. A semi-arid climate and average low rainfalls results in little surface water being available year-round. The Ogallala Aquifer is the primary source of irrigation water in this...

Currently, different dimensions of mitigation strategies have been investigated in policy analysis. However, ambitious mitigation action aiming at reducing future climate change will not prevent much climate change before mid-century. Short-term and medium-term temperature as well as associated...

To become carbon neutral, all nations must reduce household carbon emissions. The effect of digital financial development on home carbon emissions cannot be overlooked for such a task. This research examined the effects of the growth of the digital economy and sustainable economic growth...

In more or less noticeable ways, algorithms are pervading every sector of life. As algorithm-related activities multiply around us, it is reasonable to predict that so will accidents and, consequently, compensation claims framed as torts. Against this background, the paper investigates from a...

We investigate the disciplining role of analysts’ revenue forecasts on firms’ discretionary revenues. We analyze quarterly data and find evidence that initiation of analysts’ revenue forecasts reported in IBES is associated with a decrease in the magnitude of discretionary revenues. Our...

Increasing concerns about energy security and climate change mitigation have led to significant policy support for biofuels, particularly for cellulosic biofuels. This paper examines the short- and long-run effects of Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) on the mix of agricultural and forest biomass,...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as phenanthrene, are a type of organic pollutants that exist widely in the environment. Of the currently known degradation methods, bioremediation is a desirable and feasible option. A novel Diaphorobacter sp. strain MNS-0 was isolated from...

Designing high-efficiency and durable non-noble metal catalysts is essential for the large-scale application of electrocatalytic water splitting. Herein, MoNi alloy nanograins are embedded in Mo-doped NiO nanosheets by partial reduction treatment, which vertically grow on three-dimensional (3D)...

The hierarchical porous iron phosphides nanospindles with nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon coatings (FeP@NPC) are fabricated via a combination of hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent phosphating treatment, which is extensively researched for elevating the outstanding performance of...
