Windy Metropolis—Part 1: Animation as method

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Based on fieldwork in Stuttgart from 2022 to 2025, the animation Wind Witnesses is a fictionalization of the sweeping wave of microclimate protests in the 2000s, demanding the protection of fresh air corridors (Frischluftschneisen) as nonhuman entities threatened by the conversion of ostensibly empty spaces into buildings.

Machine Learning‐Based Analysis and Prediction of the Influence of Meso‐Void Characteristics on Sound Absorption Coefficient of Porous Asphalt Concrete

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study integrates meso‐void characterization, statistical analysis, and machine learning to predict the sound absorption of porous asphalt concrete. Void‐ratio‐related features dominate prediction, while Extra Trees performs best among five evaluated models, supporting acoustic‐oriented PAC mixture design.

Reducing automotive exhaust: Road performance, purification efficiency, and purification mechanism of self-purified asphalt concrete

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
To reduce automobile exhaust, self-purified asphalt concrete was prepared with a tourmaline/biochar/diatomite (TBD) purifying agent. The road performance of self-purified asphalt concrete was clarified.

Evidence for Reductions in Fungal Richness and Beta Diversity Dispersion Associated With Impervious Surfaces in California

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using public fungal occurrence data archived on the Global Biodiversity information facility, and impervious land cover maps from the National Land Cover Database, we were able to demonstrate that impervious cover has a significant influence on the diversity on fungal assemblages. These effects include a reduction in saprotrophic fungal richness, and a

Impact resistance of concrete – using slit rubber from tyres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper examines recycled tyre rubber, which was machine cut into slits and these were added to Portland cement concrete mixes in different percentages, based on specimen volume. They were then tested to determine the impact performance of each mix in

Carbonation of MgO‐Nesquehonite Cements

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT MgO‐based binders containing hydrated magnesium carbonates are promising low‐carbon materials due to their ability to store CO2 during hardening and carbonation. This study investigates MgO‐nesquehonite (MgCO3ˑ3H2O) binders containing 0, 20 and 40 mass‐% of nesquehonite hydrated in N2‐filled desiccators or at 4 vol‐% CO2, as well as hydration ...

Asphalt concrete testing device: Studying and designing based on the properties of asphalt concrete

open access: yesJournal of Science and Technology in Civil Engineering (STCE) - NUCE, 2019
With the purpose of obtaining the shear strength parameters (friction angle, φ, and cohesion, c) of asphalt concretes. At the present time, almost the testing devices were designed based on the condition of the vehicle's load when they are moving on the pavement structure.
