Hi guys, i turn 17 in a month and graduate high school next year. Im really interested in investing into multi family real estate or any real estate, i heard about it through my dads boss. I dont really know where i should start or what i should to right now to prepare, if you guys have any tips or can help me out let me know thanks!

Contrasting Size Dependence of Photochemical Lifetimes of Polypropylene and Expanded Polystyrene Microplastics in Surface Waters
1. Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! The modern era of humans on Earth is marked by the global proliferation of plastics, considered indicators of the Anthropocene. (1,2) The ubiquity and magnitude of plastic accumulation on Earth make them emergent contaminants of concern, (3) a novel component of the carbon cycle (4) and a planetary boundary threat.

Physics-Informed Transfer Learning for Process Control Applications
Special Issue Published as part of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research special issue “AI/ML in Chemical Engineering”. Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Transformer architectures have revolutionized the field of process control (1) by providing a robust framework for capturing long-range dependencies of physical processes.
Sunlight-Driven Photochemical Removal of Polypropylene Microplastics from Surface Waters Follows Linear Kinetics and Does Not Result in Fragmentation
Since the beginning of widespread plastic manufacturing and use in the 1950s, the mass of plastic-carbon (e.g., mass of carbon contained in synthetic polymers, plastic-C) has grown to rival biogeochemically relevant natural carbon stocks. (1) Much of this plastic is used in the production of one-use or short-lifespan commercial items; of all plastics produced since 1950 only an estimated 30% is still in use.
Contrasting Ocean-Atmosphere Dynamics Mediate Flood Hazard across the Mississippi River Basin
Abstract The Mississippi River basin drains nearly one-half of the contiguous United States, and its rivers serve as economic corridors that facilitate trade and transportation. Flooding remains a perennial hazard on the major tributaries of the Mississippi River basin, and reducing the economic and humanitarian consequences of these events depends on improving their seasonal predictability.

Effect of the Catalytic Aquathermolysis Process on the Physicochemical Properties of a Colombian Crude Oil
In this work, the catalytic aquathermolysis process of a Colombian heavy crude oil was studied. Reactivity tests were conducted in a microbatch reactor at 270 °C and saturation pressure of 5.5 MPa, during 66 h, using iron and molybdenum naphthenates in concentrations of 50–300 ppm as catalysts. The use of these catalysts reduced the gas yield from 1% to 4.2% w/w, the viscosity from 10% to 52.3% with iron naphthenate, and from 11.6% to 31.4% with molybdenum naphthenate.
Climatic control of Mississippi River flood hazard amplified by river engineering
Over the past century, many of the world’s major rivers have been modified for the purposes of flood mitigation, power generation and commercial navigation1. Engineering modifications to the Mississippi River system have altered the river’s sediment levels and channel morphology2, but the influence of these modifications on flood hazard is debated3,4,5.
As the river rises: Cahokia's emergence and decline linked to Mississippi River flooding
MADISON, Wis. -- As with rivers, civilizations across the world rise and fall. Sometimes, the rise and fall of rivers has something to do with it. At Cahokia, the largest prehistoric settlement in the Americas north of Mexico, new evidence suggests that major flood events in the Mississippi River valley are tied to the cultural center's emergence and ultimately, to its decline.
Lipid Biomarker Record Documents Hydroclimatic Variability of the Mississippi River Basin During the Common Era
Abstract Floods and droughts in the Mississippi River basin are perennial hazards that cause severe economic disruption. Here we develop and analyze a new lipid biomarker record from Horseshoe Lake (Illinois, USA) to evaluate the climatic conditions associated with hydroclimatic extremes that occurred in this region over the last 1,800 years.
