The Role of Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”) in DUID Cases and Its Impact on Driving Fitness

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A total number of 39 cases of driving under the influence of nitrous oxide were investigated. Plasma concentrations of 0.22 to 17 mL/L (median:3.7 mL/L) were measured in blood samples withdrawn 38 to 144 min (median: 85 min) after control via Headspace‐GC–MS.

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Reinforcement learning‐enhanced adaptive sliding mode controller for underground articulated vehicles trajectory tracking

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
RL‐SMC couples a reinforcement learning agent with a sliding mode controller, where the agent online‐modulates the sliding mode parameters according to the vehicle's tracking state. A curvature‐aware preview term is further embedded to shift control from reactive correction to proactive maneuvering, enabling the articulated vehicle to anticipate sharp ...

Synergising Climate and Clean Air Governance in the EU: A Multilevel Analysis of Policy Integration

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unlocking synergies while avoiding trade‐offs between climate and air pollution mitigation is key to policy effectiveness and cost‐efficiency. For maximum effect, these policies must be integrated not only horizontally within a governance level but also vertically across them.

Assessment of the effects of microwave‐produced biodiesel blends on electric generator performance and emissions

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesels are emerging as alternatives to diesel fuel. However, to be a feasible solution, biodiesels must meet strict criteria including high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The current study focuses on evaluating ethyl ester biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel to assess their potential.

Effects of hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles on the tribological and emission attributes of algae‐derived biofuel in compression ignition engines

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.
