Title: Author Correction: Energy use and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of drones for commercial package delivery

Abstract

In the original version of this Article, the first sentence of the sixth paragraph of the "Comparing emissions" section, the Results originally incorrectly read as 'In the base case, delivery of a small (0.5 kg) package with the small quadrotor drone has lower impacts than delivery by diesel truck, ranging from a 59% reduction in GHGs in California, to a 17% reduction in Missouri'. The correct version states '54%' instead of '59%' and '23%' instead of '17%'.The fourth sentence of the same paragraph originally incorrectly read as 'In the base case, delivery of a medium-sized (8 kg) package has 17% lower GHGs than delivery by truck in California, is about equivalent to delivery trucks for the U.S. average electricity mix, but has 77% higher GHGs than truck delivery in Missouri, which has a carbon-intensive electricity grid'. The correct version states 'In the base case, delivery of a medium-sized (8 kg) package has 9% lower GHGs than delivery by truck in California, is about 24% higher than delivery trucks for the U.S. average electricity mix, and has 50% higher GHGs than truck delivery in Missouri, which has a carbon-intensive electricity grid.The last sentence of the seventh paragraph of the same sectionmore »« less

Technical Report NSTec Environmental Restoration

The last sentence of the second paragraph of the Executive Summary on page ix incorrectly states the period for repair. Cracks or areas of settling exceeding the 15 centimeters (6 inches) deep that extend 1.0 meter (3 feet) or more on the cover will be evaluated and repaired within 60 days of detection. The second sentence of the third paragraph of the Executive Summary on page ix incorrectly states the month that cover repair was performed while omitting the discovery of additional settling, which was repaired during the originally-stated repair month.

Publisher Correction: Imaging the square of the correlated two-electron wave function of a hydrogen molecule

Journal Article Waitz, M. ; Bello, R. Y. ; Metz, D. ; ... - Nature Communications

The tool box for imaging molecules is well-equipped today. Some of the techniques visualize the mean geometrical structure, others image the single electron density or single electron orbitals. Molecules, however, are many-body systems for which the correlation between the constituents is often decisive and the spatial and the momentum distribution of one electron depend on the positions and momenta of the other electrons and the nuclei. Such correlations have escaped direct observation by imaging techniques so far. We implement an imaging scheme which visualizes correlations between electrons by coincident detection of the electronic and nuclear fragments after high energy photofragmentation.more »« less

Vehicle-cycle and life-cycle analysis of medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks in the United States

Journal Article Iyer, Rakesh Krishnamoorthy ; Kelly, Jarod C. ; Elgowainy, Amgad - Science of the Total Environment

Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles account for a substantial portion (25 %) of transport-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. Efforts to reduce these emissions focus primarily on diesel hybrids, hydrogen fuel cells, and battery electric vehicles. However, these efforts ignore the high energy intensity of producing lithium (Li)-ion batteries and the carbon fiber used in fuel-cell vehicles. Here, we conduct a life-cycle analysis to compare the impacts of the vehicle manufacturing cycle for Class 6 (pickup-and-delivery, PnD) and Class 8 (day- and sleeper-cab) trucks with diesel, electric, fuel-cell, and hybrid powertrains. We assume that all trucks were manufacturedmore »« less
