Exploring biocatalytic alternatives for challenging chemical reactions

Catalysts are often used in challenging chemical reactions to accelerate the reaction rate, increase reaction efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimise waste production. In biocatalysis, enzymes or whole cells are used as catalysts with the advantage of reactivity, selectivity and mild reaction condition over chemocatalysis. Nowadays,...

Retrieval of Aerosol Optical Depth Over Land by Inverse Modeling of Multi-Source Satellite Data

The Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), a measure of the scattering and absorption of light by aerosols, has been extensively used for scientific research such as monitoring air quality near the surface due to fine particles aggregated, aerosol radiative forcing (cooling effect against the warming effect by carbon dioxide CO2 ), aerosol long-term trend...
