The use of a DMT to monitor the stability of the slopes of a clay exploitation pit in the Boom clay in Belgium [PDF]

, 2015
In Belgium the Boom Clay is a well known overconsolidated clay formation. This Tertiary clay, with the same geological origin as the London Clay, is used for the fabrication of bricks, roofing tiles. In the article is described how the DMT can be used to

Investigation of gold nanorods as a sensing material in plasmonic sensor for triclopyr butotyl detection [PDF]

, 2020
Gold nanorods (GNRs) have a unique optical property of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) due to the localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, which depends on the size, shape and dielectric property of the surrounding medium.

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Shear behavior at the interface of rough surfaces and cohesive soils under axial loading

Results in Engineering
Foundation elements with rough (textured) surfaces mobilize larger interface shear resistance than ones with conventional smooth or random rough surfaces when sheared against soils under monotonic loading.

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.
