The gassy soil containing entrapped gas bubbles is a special type of unsaturated soils, and the compressibility of air-water mixture in gassy soils cannot be ignored. Based on the conceptual model for small bubbles, the ...

This research examines the determinants of agricultural land prices in the Mendoza River Basin, with emphasis on the marginal contribution of irrigation water as a strategic resource in an arid context. An original geore...

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi desenvolver um diagnóstico da qualidade da água do rio Parauapebas (Estado do Pará, Brasil), com base no monitoramento realizado nos períodos de baixa precipitação dos anos 2004, 2007 ...

Abstract Multi-component nanofluids have attracted increasing attention for advanced heat transfer and energy systems; however, experimental data on oxide-based quadri-hybrid nanofluids, particularly regarding their coup...

As the water pressure of shield tunnel increases, the key to tunnel construction is to strengthen the water resistance of joints. By analyzing the characteristics of stress and deformation of the gaskets in the joints of...

The free surface resolution in current load calculations increases costs significantly when using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), even though the small Froude number of a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel suggests mini...

Abstract A strong association exists between land use land cover change and, Land Surface Temperature (LST). The study focuses on the assessment of vegetation cover, comprising forests and agricultural land, which are cr...

Nanohybrid composite resin is well-known because of its good aesthetic properties. It has high water sorption, allowing various coloring substances such as papaya juice to penetrate. Papaya juice enzymes may also cause a...

The surface roughness of an implant material (titanium alloy) is an important factor in optimizing osseointegration. Various efforts have been made to optimize the roughness of implant materials, such as acid etching. Pr...

According to the landslide characteristics of the slope of the reservoir bank of Longjiang Hydropower Station in Yunnan Province, laboratory tests are conducted to investigate the characteristics of the landslide under t...

Runoff, groundwater recharge and discharge, and surface water-groundwater interaction are the main driving forces of wetlands. The quantification of such flows is crucial information in the restoration and management of ...

Surface water bodies receive a basin's wide diversity of pollutants, especially when there are mixed land uses. Among the many environmental tools to assess a body water quality, most studies use only a few. In addition ...

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal found in tobacco, water, and food. Exposure to this metal can be harmful to health, causing kidney, bone, and respiratory problems, and even cancer. Furthermore, Cd exposure through ma...

Flaveria bidentis is an invasive plant containing Sulfated Flavonoids (SFs) with therapeutic potential. The extraction of these compounds would add value to the biomass generated during weeding. This work reports the opt...

The objective of this study is to enhance the energy efficiency and environmental safety of boiler plants and engines equipped with waste heat recovery boilers. This objective is achieved by utilizing water-fuel emulsion...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable in the hydrologic cycle that directly affects the redistribution of precipitation and surface balance. ET measurements with high temporal resolution are required for coupling wit...

In recent years, many thermal power units in China that equipped with SCAL type indirect cooling systems have commonly encountered corrosion and leakage problems with aluminum radiators. This study conducted field resear...

The water quality characteristics of shale oil produced water are complex and highly unstable, which poses difficulties for its treatment, storage, and resource utilization. This study focused on shale oil produced water...

Abstract Enhanced Antarctic ice sheet mass loss yields ocean surface freshening, cooling and sea ice expansion, which result in changes in the atmospheric conditions. Using the Southern Ocean Freshwater Input from Antarc...

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) play a vital role in water resource management, particularly in developing countries such as Iran. Amid declining rainfall and increasing drought conditions, these systems offer a sust...

This study examined the effects of different irrigation methods, water quality, and irrigation levels on yield components and water-use efficiency of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under semi-arid climate conditions. The m...

The study was carried out during the autumn season of 2024, with the aim of evaluating the effect of the lengths of dripping tapes and the distance between them on some physical properties of soil and the growth and yiel...

Robotics has evolved a lot since its origin. The design of these robots is done based on various aspects, and one such aspect is bioinspired robots, which lies one of the most challenging fields were a robot is developed...

The dissolution behavior of atmospheric calcium (Ca) mineral dust released from arid regions and their climate impacts via buffering effects are highly dependent on their size-resolved mineralogical composition. Due to t...
