A lingering legacy of leaded gasoline in Southeast Asia
Following the phase-out of leaded gasoline, there is a misconception that Pb is no longer an environmental concern. We find that along with Pb from present sources, use of leaded gasoline left a legacy of Pb in soil which is remobilized to the atmosphere after two decades of its phase-out.
Two-way free-space optics-based interface between fibre and 5G communication employing polarisation-orthogonal modulation
5G communication provides a substantial increase in data transmission capacity. FSO-based interface between fibre and 5G communication integrates fiber optics, FSO and 5G communications. A two-way fibre-FSO-5G wireless communication with polarisation-orthogonal modulation is presented and reported.
How do government climate authorities and citizens interact through social media?
The practice-based study on data from 5 authorities, 10k posts and 5k replies from 2k citizens over a year characterises how climate authorities and citizens interact in social media for climate preparedness and resilience and discusses the suitability of social media for climate communication.
