Evaluation of rheological and microstructural behavior of modified asphalt binder with chitosan derived from shrimp shell powder

Results in Engineering
Chitosan derived from shrimp shells (SSPCH) was used for the first time as a biological biopolymer to modify the properties of bitumen across high, medium, and low-temperature ranges. Therefore, physical tests (penetration, softening point, and ductility)

Distribution and Thermal Maturity of Devonian Carbonate Reservoir Solid Bitumen in Desheng Area of Guizhong Depression, South China

Geofluids, 2017
The distribution of solid bitumen in the Devonian carbonate reservoir from well Desheng 1, Guizhong Depression, was investigated by optical microscope and hydrocarbon inclusions analysis. Vb and chemical structure indexes measured by bitumen reflectance,

A GIS‐Integrated Active Learning Framework for Crash Severity Classification in Imbalanced Traffic Data

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Classifying urban traffic crash severity remains challenging because severe incidents are underrepresented in highly imbalanced datasets. This challenge is further intensified by spatiotemporal shifts in data distributions, which can degrade model performance over time.

The Future of Hydrogen‐Powered Aviation: Technologies, Challenges, and a Strategic Roadmap for Sustainable Decarbonization

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Hydrogen‐powered aviation offers a transformative pathway to zero‐emission flight by eliminating in‐flight CO2 emissions. Key considerations include propulsion systems (fuel cells and hydrogen combustion), cryogenic storage and insulation challenges, infrastructure and cost barriers, and supply‐chain constraints.

Learning hydrocracking reaction dynamics via neural ODEs: A data‐driven, gradient‐interpretable lumped modelling framework

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 1372-1386, March 2026.
This work demonstrates the application of neural ordinary differential equations (neural ODEs) for learning hydrocracking reaction kinetics directly from data, achieving robust predictions under noise and sparsity while preserving mechanistic interpretability through gradient‐based analysis of temperature‐ and concentration‐dependent reaction rates ...

Deriving the Charring Rate of a Wood Fibre Insulation Board by Exposure to the ISO 834 Standard Fire

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 135-144, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Wood fibre insulation boards (WFIB) are widely used combustible building materials, commonly applied in energy‐efficient construction for their thermal and hygric performance. The present study investigates the behaviour of the most common type of wood fibre insulation when exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire.

Early Use of Lime Mortar at the Early Iron Age Piscina Torta Salt Production Site (Tiber Delta, Ostia, Italy)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents new evidence for the early use of lime mortar during the Early Iron Age at the Piscina Torta site (Ostia, Italy), situated on the earliest Holocene beach ridges in the southern Tiber delta. The site, which was earlier described as a briquetage site, dates from between the late 8th and 6th century BCE and consists of a large

Landless peasants, soilless cultivation: British agricultural experimentation and intervention in post‐independence Iraq (1932–1958)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 603-610, March 2026.
‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.

Assessment and Prediction of the Effects of Flooding on Road Infrastructure Using a GIS‐Ensemble Modeling Approach: A Case Study of Mai Mahiu‐Narok Road, Kenya

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Roads are ecologically sensitive infrastructure that are highly susceptible to flooding, which can impair their functionality, serviceability, and durability. Existing assessment methods are often subjective or lack the ability to incorporate domain‐specific knowledge. Therefore, approaches that integrate expert‐driven prioritization with data‐
