Noah-MP data for modeling Canadian spring wheat study
This zip file contains the simulation results from a Noah-MP crop model for a Canadian spring wheat study.
There are two separate folders inside: one for single-point data and one for regional data results.
The single-point folder contains three model outputs from the three site-year (2016, 2019SW, 2019SE) and three model treatments (default NoahMP, wheat model, and TAVE for dynamic planting threshold)
The regional folder contains the combined agricultural statistics from USDA and StatisCanada (combine_crop_PPR.nc), default wheat model results, and the temperature stress results.

Identifications of polyphenols and quantification of anthocyanidins in grapes and grape-derived products
Polyphenols in grapes and grape-derived products have attracted public and scientific attention due to their numerous protective roles to human health. A rapid and comprehensive qualitative method was developed to characterize the different classes of polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids and flavanols/proanthocyanidins, in grapes and grape-derived products. The detection was achieved by two runs with same HPLC gradient in different MS ionization modes and mobile phase modifiers (positive mode and 0.4% trifluoroacetic acid for anthocyanins and flavonols, negative mode and 0.1% formic acid for phenolic acids and flavanols). Under the optimized LC/MS conditions and based on the analysis of the MS and UV data and in comparison with the authenticated standards, a total of 53 polyphenolic compounds were successfully separated and individually identified including 33 anthocyanins, 12 flavonols, 4 phenolic acids and 4 flavanols/proanthocyanidins. With the method developed, a survey was conducted to qualitatively assess and compare the composition of polyphenols among 29 grapes and grape-derived products. To facilitate the quantitation of the major class of polyphenolic anthocyanidins, a simple and precise acid assisted hydrolysis method was established for the quantitation of anthocyanidins in grape juice samples, grape berries and grape skins using LC/MS. Five most common anthocyanidins of delphenidin, petunidin, cyanidin, malvidin, and peonidin in the hydrolyzed grape extracts were included in the quantification study. The validation of this method showed that the recovery percentages of five anthocyanidins ranged from 98.59 % to 103.20% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 5.03%. The qualitative method provided complete insight into the composition of polyphenols in grapes, and other grape-derived products. This quantitative method provides a rapid and accurate tool to quantitatively study individual anthocyanidin in grapes or grape juice samples for quality control and to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of new commercial grapes or grape juice products in market.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Yanping X
Untangling the critical success factors of the latest compulsory waste sorting initiative in Shanghai: the role of accountability governance
Municipal solid waste sorting is an essential element of urban sustainability as cities transition to a circular economy. As a mega-city, Shanghai has achieved remarkable milestones in its latest compulsory waste sorting program. This success has garnered widespread attention, and most studies have primarily focused on policy interventions from either a macro perspective or micro-analysis of individual behaviours. However, these studies have often overlooked the intricacies of multi-stakeholder coordination and the division of responsibilities, which frequently contributed to the failure of waste sorting initiatives. Furthermore, existing research lacks a systematic theoretical framework to elucidate multi-stakeholder accountability mechanisms. Therefore, this research adopts a case study approach to untangle the factors that led to Shanghai's success. Through the lens of accountability theory, this study systematically elaborates stakeholder accountability mechanisms and offers a distinctive multi-stakeholder perspective to explain Shanghai's success across vertical, horizontal, and felt accountability dimensions. This informative exemplar provides crucial empirical insights for other cities, especially those grappling with challenges in promoting and managing waste sorting initiatives

From Lab to Building: Real-World Integration of Phase Change Materials for Comfort, Energy, and Flexibility
peer reviewedPhase change materials (PCMs) are widely promoted for improving thermal comfort and reducing energy demand in buildings. Yet, most studies remain laboratory- or simulation-based, offering limited insight into real-world performance. This paper bridges that gap by synthesizing evidence from eight full-scale, monitored buildings at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6–9, complemented by insights from an expert focus group. Results show that PCM effectiveness is governed primarily by design integration, not material formulation, with placement depth, control strategy, and climate alignment proving decisive. Across cases, measured performance indicates consistent but conditional benefits: peak indoor temperature reductions of 1–3 °C, heating or cooling load savings of 10–25 %, and emerging though under-reported contributions to demand-side flexibility. A typology of PCM integration strategies is proposed, mapping observed outcomes by building type, climate, placement, and control logic. KPI synthesis reveals a previously undocumented trend: a moderate negative correlation between areal storage capacity and comfort-hour improvement, suggesting that greater storage does not necessarily yield better results. The study also identifies structural barriers to deployment, including the regulatory invisibility of latent storage and the absence of standards for building-level PCM testing and certification. By reframing PCMs as integrated building-system components rather than niche materials, this work offers design guidance, performance benchmarks, and a roadmap to advance PCM adoption toward more flexible, resilient buildings.11.
