Agricultural soil could be made to serve as a sink rather than a source of greenhouse gases by suitable soil management.
Ground source heat pumps employ ground, groundwater, or surface water as the heat sink rather than outside air whereas hybrid heat pump systems have the potential to improve the heat pump economics.
These findings, along with transmission electron microscopy analysis, show that nano-pillar plasticity in the presence of a grain boundary is also characterized by dislocation avalanches, likely resulting from dislocation nucleation-controlled mechanisms, and that at these small length scales this grain boundary may serve as a dislocation sink rather than a dislocation source.
In such cases, the mosaicity acts as an error sink rather than an accurate model of lattice disorder.
By using protons as an electron sink rather than glycolytic intermediates, acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) becomes available for production of acetate and ATP.
