The Monster ‘Within’: Capitalist Urbanization as Geometabolic Escalation
Development and Change, Volume 56, Issue 4-5, Page 668-728, July-September 2025.ABSTRACT This article challenges prevailing approaches to urban sustainability by reconceptualizing capitalist urbanization as a planetary process of geometabolic escalation. Hegemonic visions of sustainable cities render invisible the non‐city sociometabolic preconditions and consequences of urban life under capitalism.

Ground zero soil sampling: Trinity, 1945
Geology Today, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 137-146, July/August 2025.At Trinity—the world's first nuclear weapons testing site—large quantities of soil were drawn into the fireball to redeposit either downwind as radioactive fallout or in the near‐field as a unique, anthropogenic silicate glass trinitite. Manhattan Project physicists and chemists came to see soils at the Trinity site as a useful medium to assess the ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

The model for induction-healing asphalt concrete
, 2014 Induction heating of asphalt concrete is accomplished by adding electrically conductive particles to the asphalt mixture, and heating them with an induction heating device. When the temperature of the asphalt concrete is higher than 30-70 °C, cracks may

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 14, Page 2050-2070, 3 June 2025.Abstract Corrosion in steel transmission towers poses a challenge to structural integrity and safety, requiring efficient detection methods. Traditional visual inspections are unsustainable due to the complexity and volume of structures. Their manual, qualitative, and subjective nature often leads to inconsistencies in maintenance planning.

Laboratory verification of predicted permanent deformation in asphalt materials following climate change. [PDF]
, 2011 In the past a change in temperature of 5°C most often occurred over intervals of thousands of years. According to estimates by the IPCC, in the XXI century is expected an increase in average temperatures in Europe between 1.8 and 4.0°C in the best case ...

System for concrete dam reliability with respect to foundation stability
, 2012 In order to perform a complete risk analysis of a dam facility, it is necessary to have information about the probability and consequences of failure. To analyze the probability of failure of a concrete dam, all components and all failure modes must be ...
