In the Pampas region of Argentina agriculture is dominated by intensive no-till (NT) soybean cropping which produce negative consequences on soil quality. A group of farmers started to use the Good Agricultural Practices...

Rare earth based nanostructures constitute a type of functional materials widely used and studied in the recent literature. The purpose of this review is to provide a general and comprehensive overview of the current sta...

The paper presents a methodology and an example of determining the floor response spectrum of nuclear power plant building structures under earthquake loads. When critical energy infrastructure facilities are consider...

The new sulfides Y3Ni0.5SiS7, Sm3Ni0.5SiS7, and La3Ni0.5SiS7 exist in the quasi-ternary systems Y2S3 – NiS – SiS2, Sm2S3 – NiS – SiS2, and La2S3 – NiS – SiS2, respectively, for which the isothermal sections a...

Abstract Oceanic detachment fault systems are characteristic of slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges, where reduced magma supply leads to increased extension by faulting and exhumation of oceanic core complexes (OCCs). OC...

Abstract Gate and earth-rock dam systems are the preferred dam types for river sections under deep overburden conditions, low head, and high flow rates. This study established a three-dimensional finite element model inc...

Driven by satellite remote sensing observations, deep learning models provide a promising solution for the rapid estimation of subsurface thermohaline structures. By learning from large-scale paired surface–subsur...

The anchor technology in China's standards has some room for improvement compared with the foreign ones. Based on the latest standards of European Union, USA and Japan, some suggestions are put forward: (1) An anchor str...

The 2018 Lombok earthquake caused extensive housing and infrastructure damage in North Lombok Regency, triggering large-scale reconstruction efforts. Post-disaster housing reconstruction (PDHR) is crucial not only for re...

Abstract Submarine fan deposits are important archives of Earth's history and serve as the record of turbidity current events that transfer large amounts of terrestrial sediment and carbon into the ocean. The geomorpholo...

Abstract The electrical structure of oceanic lithosphere and underlying asthenosphere provides crucial constraints on upper mantle dynamics, complementing seismic observations to distinguish between competing mechanisms ...

No commercial airplane in service today is able to fly half great-circle distances over the globe and achieve the non-stop or the global range to any antipodal location on Earth. A subsonic jetliner has the optimum cruis...

Urbanisation, land use changes and tourism in disaster-prone high mountain areas or riskscapes have emerged as important research topics and major planning challenges at a global scale with the Himalayan region as a hots...

Efforts to harness quantum hardware relying on quantum mechanical principles have been steadily progressing. The search for novel material platforms that could spur the progress by providing new functionalities for solvi...

Abstract The Potala Palace is among the most important historical structures in Tibet and features massive stone masonry walls finished with various earthen slurries. Among them, the white exterior finish—commonly know...

Abstract Using the electrodeposition technique, nanocomposite thin films of ITO/TiO₂, ITO/TiO₂/CdS, and ITO/TiO₂/Gd₂O₃ were successfully fabricated on ITO glass substrates. The structural, morphological, and op...

In deep excavations with a large area of soft soil, the multi-bench retaining method, which has a short construction period and doesn’t need any horizontal reinforced concrete struts, can be used to replace the method ...

Twenty nests of Coprophanaeus (Coprophanaeus) cyanescens (Olsoufieff) were studied in the field and described herein for the first time. They are paracoprid, subterranean (simple), and basically L-shaped. Nine pear-shape...

The initial shear modulus of soil G0 is an important parameter for predicting the ground deformation and dynamic response of many earth structures subjected to earthquake or explosion. Loess is spread all over the world ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed for Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) observations have demonstrated competitive performance in estimating geophysical parameters, especially ocean su...

In the seismic design of reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame (RC MRF) structures equipped with steel damper columns (SDCs), design criteria should consider both peak responses (e.g., story drift) and cumulative re...

Emphasizing the concentric relationship between the tectonics of Earth and the tectonics of architecture, this study argues that design ideas generated through this interaction have the potential to produce spatial const...

The excavation construction of twin parallel tunnels is simulated by using centrifugal model tests. The internal stress and deformation variation of shield structure of the existing tunnel and the ground surface settleme...

This article examines, within a comparative framework, the concepts of Era di Langi’ and Puang Tomanurun Tamboro Langi’ in Aluk To Dolo in relation to the Christology of John 14:6. Employing a comparative theol...
