Introduction And Aims: Repeatedly undergoing supervised, medical, detoxification from chronic alcohol use may contribute to impairments in neurocognitive functioning of patients with an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Unsupervised, non-medical, detoxification, however, may also contribute to neurocognitive impairments, given the absence of first choice prescription medication to counteract severe withdrawal effects. So far, findings from previous studies are inconclusive and specifically effects of non-medical detoxifications are not investigated yet.

- - The text discusses direct air capture (DAC) technologies, which aim to lower atmospheric CO2 levels to combat climate change while also providing carbon as a resource without relying on fossil fuels.
- - It highlights the high energy requirements and costs associated with DAC processes, and evaluates the long-term energy demand and levelized cost of capture (LCOC) for both liquid solvent absorption and solid adsorption methods.
- - The work compares electrochemical to nonelectrochemical DAC methods and estimates the necessary conditions and capital expenditures to make electrochemical processes more efficient and economically viable.
Article Synopsis
- Upgrading biogas to biomethane is important for utilizing renewable fuels from biomass waste, and this study investigates the efficiency of coconut-shell activated carbon (CAC 8X30) for this process through Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA).
- The research involved characterizing the adsorbent and estimating adsorption parameters for methane (CH), carbon monoxide (CO), and water (HO), comparing CAC 8X30 with zeolite 13X under different conditions.
- Results showed CAC 8X30 had significant micropore volume and demonstrated better selectivity for CO over CH in humid conditions, suggesting a potential combined use with zeolite 13X for effective biogas upgrading.
Studying 5.6 million biomedical science articles published over three decades, we reconcile conflicts in a longstanding interdisciplinary literature on scientists' life-cycle productivity by controlling for selective attrition and distinguishing between research quantity and quality. While research quality declines monotonically over the career, this decline is easily overlooked because higher "ability" authors have longer publishing careers.

In addition to abstinence, other factors may have influenced this process and contributed to the inconsistencies. This review examines the factors investigated in this regard and describes the possible influence of each factor based on the evidence collected.
