By: X. Wang n, F. Cruz  n, F. Ximenes * & M. Barlaz n 

author keywords: Landfills; Municipal solid waste; Paper products; Anaerobic decomposition; Biochemical methane potential; Carbon storage
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Carbon / analysis; Carbon Sequestration; Cellulose; Climate Change; Laboratories; Lignin; Methane; Models, Chemical; Paper; Refuse Disposal / methods; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR: The methane yields, carbon storage factors and the extent of cellulose and hemicellulose decomposition all consistently show that papers made from mechanical pulps are less degradable than those made from chemical pulps where essentially all lignin was chemically removed.

Simplified method for comparing emissions in roundabouts and at signalized intersections

Transportation Research Record, 2517(2517), 48–60.

By: K. Salamati*, N. Rouphail*, H. Frey  n, B. Liu  n & B. Schroeder*

Contributors: K. Salamati*, N. Rouphail*, H. Frey  n, B. Liu  n & B. Schroeder*

TL;DR: This method was built on a large sample size of real-world second-by-second vehicle trajectories, traffic volumes, and other traffic characteristics collected at signalized intersections and roundabouts in six U.S. states, and showed that during oversaturation periods, the amount of produced emissions increased steadily in roundabouts but increased a large amount at signals.
