Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Digital Roots or Digital Routes? Broadband Expansion and the Rural‐Urban Migration in China
Abstract This study investigates how broadband internet affects rural–urban migration in China using the Universal Broadband and Telecommunication Services pilot program launched in 2015 as a quasi‐experimental setting. Analyzing China Household Finance Survey data (2013–2021) with difference‐in‐differences estimation, we find that improved internet ...

Biodegradation of Asphalt Cement-20 by Aerobic Bacteria [PDF]
Seven gram-negative, aerobic bacteria were isolated from a mixed culture enriched for asphalt-degrading bacteria. The predominant genera of these isolates were Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Flavimonas , and Flavobacterium . The mixed culture preferentially degraded the saturate and

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Integrated VES, ERI, and MASW surveys, constrained by boreholes, delineate a central low‐resistivity/low‐V s weak corridor and more competent volcanic strata at depth. The eastern sector offers preferable foundation conditions, while identified weak zones require ground improvement or deep foundations to mitigate differential‐settlement risk.

Real‐Time Ground Deformation Records of Coastal Cliff Failures in San Diego County, California
Abstract Coastal cliff failures pose significant risks to public safety and coastal infrastructure, especially in southern California. We deployed a suite of continuous geophysical sensors to investigate failure processes and precursory behaviors at three coastal clifftop sites in San Diego County: San Elijo State Beach and two locations in Del Mar ...
