Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Adding the Farmer Domain to Aquifer Recharge: Insights From Smallholder Farmers' Natural Water Retention Measures in the Danube–Tisza Interfluve, Hungary

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper describes and analyzes recharge practices in Bács‐Kiskun County, Hungary, within what can be categorized as the farmer domain. Such locally embedded aquifer recharge practices remain underexplored in Hungary. Current research and funding largely focus on large‐scale Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) interventions emphasizing intended ...

Theoretical Framework for Predicting Dynamic Covalent Exchange Based on Proton Affinities and Proton‐Transfer Assistance

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 40, 27 October 2026.
Proton‑transfer catalysis controls acylsemicarbazide dissociation, linking proton affinity to exchange kinetics and enabling predictive design of robust, tunable dynamic covalent networks. ABSTRACT We provide design principles for predicting bond exchange kinetics in acylsemicarbazide (ASC)‐based systems that can be applied to tuning the properties of ...

Interpreting Non‐Linear Compaction Mechanics of Expansive Soils Using Reliability Calibrated Framework

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study introduces a reliability‐calibrated machine learning framework to predict the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of heterogeneous soils. By integrating 15 algorithms with conformal prediction, the models deliver accurate compaction estimates alongside rigorous, distribution‐free 90% confidence intervals.

Influence of Spatial Variability of Tensile Strength on Seismic Cracking of Gravity Dam

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2019
Since the uneven construction quality and the inherent heterogeneity of concrete, the material properties of the gravity dam have spatial variability. The spatial variability of the concrete strength parameters will affect the seismic performance of dams,

Hydrogen Production With Water Electrolysis Technologies: Advances, Performance, and Potential Use for Low‐Gradient Combustion

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 4546-4583, October 2026.
This review links recent advances in water electrolysis with hydrogen utilization in low‐gradient combustion systems. While hydrogen eliminates direct CO2 emissions, its environmental and economic benefits depend strongly on production pathways, system‐level efficiency, and NOx mitigation through MILD/FLOX/HiTAC combustion.
