Precipitation and Co-precipitation

Precipitation and Co-precipitation

Precipitation and coprecipitation methods can be used to separate a mixture of ions in a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent are separated based on the differences in solubility products. For example, consider the separation of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions by precipitation as insoluble sulfides. First, copper(II) sulfide is precipitated by the addition of acidic H2S, where the dissociation of H2S is suppressed. Adding H2S...

What is Climate?

What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Temperature Measurement Sites

Temperature Measurement Sites

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Precipitation Processes

Precipitation Processes

The experimental conditions in a gravimetric analysis should be optimized to maximize the particle size and purity of the obtained precipitate. Ideally, the concentration of the precipitating reagent should be low with effective stirring to maintain low relative supersaturation for the growth of large crystals. In homogeneous precipitation, the precipitant is slowly generated by a chemical reaction in the solution to avoid local reagent excesses. For example, urea decomposes gradually to...

Area of Science:

Urban Biometeorology
Environmental Science
Climate Change Research

Background:

Urbanization significantly impacts local/regional climate and the biosphere.
Biometeorologists are crucial for assessing urbanization's consequences.
The International Society of Biometeorology's journal is a key publication in this field.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the focus on urban areas in the International Journal of Biometeorology from 1974-2017.
To identify trends and themes in urban biometeorology research.
To suggest future research directions for global sustainability, health, and equity.

Main Methods:

Bibliometric analysis of articles published in the International Journal of Biometeorology.
Categorization of urban-focused articles into five key themes.
Assessment of research trends over a 43-year period.

Main Results:

A significant increase in urban-oriented research published in the journal.
Urban articles constituted over 20% of publications in the most recent decade.
Research themes include urban climate, human thermal comfort, health impacts, and ecosystem effects.

Conclusions:

Biometeorology has a growing focus on urban environments.
Increased attention to low- and middle-income countries, indoor settings, animals, and climate change impacts is recommended.
This will enhance the contribution of biometeorology to global sustainability and health goals.
