Abstract The current study employs Bayesian-regularization optimizer technique with artificial neural networks (BROT-ANNs) to investigate the significance of local thermal non-equilibrium influences on wax + sand-bas...

Abstract The synergistic treatment of sandy soil with biopolymer and plant fiber as a soil improvement technique offers both stable strength and sustainability. However, due to the hydrophilic nature of both materials, s...

Abstract Jurassic sandy mudstone formations are common in the Ordos mining area, and the diagenetic period is relatively late. The lithological characteristics and creep mechanical properties of this formation form the b...

The Late Oligocene Huagang Formation in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Shelf Basin, records typical braided river delta deposits. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on sand-body distribution remains uncl...

Abstract Concrete can be engineered with self-healing capabilities using bacteria, providing an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional repairs. This research evaluated the biocementing potential of Bacil...

Abstract Two field experiments were conducted during the 2023 and 2024 summer seasons to evaluate the effects of commercial biostimulants on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) productivity and soil health under arid sandy soil...

Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies...

Book review on Dušan Coufal – Adam Pálka (edd.), Conflict after Compromise Regulating Tensions in Multi-Confessional Societies in the Fifteenth Century, Sandstein, Dresden 2024, 188 s., ISBN 978-3-95498-830-3

This study investigates the tensile mechanical properties of gray sandstone under dynamic impact. Drawing on the one-dimensional stress wave theory, we conducted a one-dimensional spallation experiment using a 50 mm diam...

The study reports photographic evidence of range extension for three avian species: Western Tragopan Tragopan melanocephalus (Gray, 1829), Tibetan Snowcock Tetraogallus tibetanus (Gould, 1854), and Tibetan Sandgrouse Syr...

The presence of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) impacts soil structure, bonding, pore size distribution, and water-holding characteristics, altering both compaction characteristics and soil water characteristic curves (SWCC). In...

The bodies of animals host millions of microbial communities collectively known as the microbiome. The microbiome plays a crucial role in various processes related to the host’s health and well-being. Although our unde...

Abstract Likelihood-based inference for exponential-tail lifetime models can be unstable in finite samples, particularly under right-tail contamination. We develop a robust score-based inference procedure for the two-par...

Abstract Background Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) protein profiling has emerged over the last decade as a method of choice for species identification of many ...

Abstract Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) offers dual benefits of increasing hydrocarbon production and sequestering anthropogenic CO2; however, conventional CO2 flooding suffers from unfavorable mobility r...

Introduction. Magnetic separation is one of the most effective and widely used techniques for the purification and enrichment of materials. It plays a crucial role in mineral processing, recycling, and environmental appl...

ObjectiveIn the arid regions of western China, the ecological restoration of waste dumps within open-pit coal mines plays a key role in green mine construction, while creating a suitable soil profile structure serves as ...

This study investigates the fragmentation expansion and water storage characteristics of collapsed rock in overlying strata during its formation. Pre-static loaded fractured samples of four typical roof rock types-coarse...

Abstract Psammochloa villosa is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to tribe Stipeae (Poaceae). It is mainly distributed in the arid and sandy Inner Mongolia Plateau and adjacent areas, demonstrating remarkable resili...

Abstract Background This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and real-world applicability of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), focusing on pathological complete ...

Abstract Quantifying luminescence signal resetting of sand grains in turbid waters is essential for both sediment dating and tracing, yet direct measurement under natural subaqueous conditions remain scarce. Here, we pre...

Abstract Background Silicosis is an irreversible scarring lung disease caused by occupational respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust exposure. Mineral (noncoal) miners who extract metal, nonmetal, stone, and sand/grave...
