Simethicone, a widely used anti-foaming agent in pharmaceuticals, consists mainly of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) combined with silica gel. While it is safe in pharmaceutical use, concerns have been raised about its degradation into cyclic siloxanes—specifically D4, D5, and D6—which can cause environmental and health hazards. This study investigated the degradation behavior of simethicone under var

In central Budapest, when the city of Pest was developing, urban policy led to small plots built on all four sides mak- ing up the larger neighborhood block structures. Each small lot was centered around its even smaller courtyard, lead- ing to a myriad of small open spaces with little sunlight or activity.

Global wetlands are the largest and most uncertain natural source of atmospheric methane (CH4). The FLUXNET-CH4 synthesis initiative has established a global network of flux tower infrastructure, offering valuable data products and fostering a dedicated community for the measurement and analysis of methane flux data. Existing studies using the FLUXNET-CH4 Community Product v1.0 have provided inval
