Gasoline Direct Injection Engine Emissions of OC and EC: Laboratory Comparisons with Port Fuel Injection Engine by Jie Zhang, John Liggio, Tak W. Chan, Lin Huang, Jeffrey R. Brook

“…This is consistent with the OC forming characteristics for GDI and PFI engines, which are pyrolyzed particles from incomplete combustion and incomplete volatilization of fuel droplets, respectively. Generally, the particle phase OC emissions from gasoline engines are more volatile than other sources (e.g., biomass burning), supported by the very low level of pyrolyzed organic carbon (POC) and small differences among protocols in the current study. …”

Characteristics of VOCs and their Potentials for O3 and SOA Formation in a Medium-sized City in Eastern China by Peilin Chen, Xinye Zhao, Ou Wang, Min Shao, Xinxin Xiao, Shanshan Wang, Qin’geng Wang

“…The results show that the mean VOC concentration was much lower in the urban center than in the suburbs. Generally, proportions of both alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons were higher and proportion of alkanes was lower in Huai’an than that in big cities, indicating emissions from solvent usage and industrial process play a more important role in the medium-sized city. …”

Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers: How Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback and Cosmic-Ray Transport Shape the Far-infrared–Radio Correlation of Galaxies by Sam B. Ponnada, Rachel K. Cochrane, Philip F. Hopkins, Iryna S. Butsky, Sarah Wellons, N. Nicole Sanchez, Cameron Hummels, Yue Samuel Lu, Dušan Kereš, Christopher C. Hayward

“…We present the first reproduction of the z  ∼ 0 FRC using detailed synthetic observations of state-of-the-art cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-3) suite with explicitly evolved CR proton and electron (CRe) spectra, for three models for CR transport and multichannel active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. In doing so, we generally verify the predictions of “calorimeter” theories at high FIR luminosities ( L _60 _μ _m  ≳ 10 ^9.5 L _⊙ ) and at low FIR luminosities ( L _60 _μ _m ≲ 10 ^9.5 L _⊙ ), the so-called “conspiracy” of increasing UV radiation escape in tandem with increasing CRe escape, and find that the global FRC is insensitive to orders-of-magnitude locally variable CR transport coefficients. …”
