IntroductionThis study attempted to explore the perception and experiences of facilitators and challenges in the implementation of modular, adaptive, and decentralized water infrastructure in the community. It also aimed...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in surface and ground water systems worldwide, making it an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human health. Despite a rapid increase in resea...

Abstract Physical sciences are essential to the predictive modeling of complex environmental systems, particularly environmental monitoring and sustainability applications, as they provide the deterministic foundation re...

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 ...

The corrosion of carbon steel condensate water pipelines significantly compromises the safety of natural gas production. In this study, a corroded carbon steel pipeline retrieved from an operational facility was thorough...

BackgroundTar-rich coals serve as an important coal-based oil and gas resource in China, while their pyrolysis product distribution is governed by the coupling effects of coal properties and reaction conditions. Therefor...

Climate change is undermining the effectiveness of static reserve systems by shifting species distributions and increasing the opportunity costs of conservation, particularly for land and water under more frequent temper...

Objective The Shanxi Formation, deposited during the critical transitional period from the sedimentary filling of epicontinental sea basins to the sedimentation of continental basins, exhibits well-developed shallow-wate...

Abstract Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of sustainable development. Among all the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 6 (Clean Drinking Water and Sanitation) is dist...

Abstract Microbiological contamination of water poses an ongoing global public health concern. This study assesses the association between water quality and beef contamination within the slaughter-to-plate continuum, con...

Abstract Alkaline water electrolysis represents a promising pathway for green hydrogen production, yet comprehensive multi-physics simulation remains computationally prohibitive for practical design optimization. This st...

Downscaling is a critical step to bridge the gap between large-scale climate information and local-scale impact assessments. However, steep and complex mountainous terrain induces highly heterogeneous local-scale meteoro...

Abstract The acidity and buffering capacity of inland waters are essential for biogeochemical processes and impose significant constraints on the distribution of freshwater species. Although many measurements exist world...

The occurrence of tree-contact single-phase-to-ground fault (TSF) poses a potential threat to the stable operation of power lines, and in severe cases, may result in wild fire. The development of TSF is influenced by cru...

The heterogeneity of the network at the edge creates unequal bandwidth availability for clients connected through diverse networks and devices. This variability can lead to bandwidth fluctuations and slow response times,...

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 Smooth-coated Otter Lutrogale perspicillata has not previously been documented from Bannerghatta National Park (BNP), southern India and this study confirms its presence from the landscape. A 10-day reconnaissance su...

Abstract Given the escalating challenges of water scarcity and climate change, enhancing water productivity is crucial for achieving water security, particularly in arid regions with finite water resources. This study as...

Abstract This study explores the valorization of ceramic waste (CW) and waste tire particles in the development of eco-friendly cementitious tiles for outdoor roof shielding applications. CW, sourced from industrial bypr...

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the degree of polymerization (DP 10, 20, and 35) on the mechanical and tribological properties of nitrile butadiene rubb...

Drought and phosphorus deficiency frequently co-occur in the red soil region of southern China and severely limit maize growth and productivity; however, the interactive effects of these two stresses and the genotypic di...

Salinity distribution is a critical determinant in the management of water resources and the protection of ecological integrity in coastal regions, drawing particular concerns in the context of increasing saltwater intru...

BackgroundIn practical engineering, the waterproof coal pillar usually suffers from different degrees of dynamic load from the overlying strata, and its internal water distribution is non-uniform. Although the traditiona...

The shift from conventional irrigation methods to sprinkler systems is intended to improve accuracy and efficiency; however, it requires thorough validation of the uniformity of water distribution. This research focuses ...
