Investigating the influence of vehicular traffic on a major trunk road on rural air quality [PDF]

, 2012
A thesis submittedTraffic population in the UK has grown by 27% in 2002 and predicted to continue to an estimated 38% in 2016 and up to 60% by 2031. This means vehicular emissions from road transport may account for higher proportion of total emissions ...

Scaling Up of a Lightweight Aggregates System Based on Recovery Raw Materials and With Fertilisation Capacity: From Laboratory Prototype to Semi‐Industrial Production

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Improved glass meltability enabled semi‐industrial prototyping of a residue‐derived PK fertiliser. Firing produced mechanically stable micropellets and induced partial vitrification, pore‐network reorganisation, delayed P release, but restricted K availability; 6‐month field trials on turfgrass and Photinia supported agronomic feasibility.

Anisotropic Swelling of a Single‐Crystalline Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework Induced by Iodine Vapor Uptake

Small, Volume 22, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
A single crystal of a layered hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) undergoes iodine uptake‐induced anisotropic swelling via adsorption into void channels and intercalation into the layers. ABSTRACT In this paper, we report that iodine vapor adsorption induces anisotropic swelling of a porous hydrogen‐bonded framework (HOF) composed of hexacarboxylic
