Integration of ground geophysical methods to characterize near‐surface aquifer zones within an active mine

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 521-538, October 2024.
Abstract Understanding near‐surface groundwater storage, flow patterns, surface and groundwater interactions in mining areas can assist in making mining more efficient and profitable. This is especially important in opencast mines affected by water inflows that may negatively affect production and increase mining costs. We map and characterize the near‐

FOLIAR ACCUMULATION OF ZINC IN TREE SPECIES GROWN IN PINE BARK MEDIA AMENDED WITH CRUMB RUBBER [PDF]

, 2001
Incorporated crumb rubber (CR) increased Zn tissue levels up to nine times the normal range in tree species. There was a linear increase in Zn tissue accumulation with increasing percentages of crumb rubber for river birch (Betula nigra L.), lacebark elm

A Review of Somatic Design for Soft Robotic Grippers: From Parts Integration to Functional Synergy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2024.
Somatic design is crucial for soft grippers to emulate the embodied intelligence of their biological counterparts, due to the blurry boundaries among material, structure and function. There are five critical parts in somatic design, including morphology, material, fabrication, actuation, and variable stiffness. The strong nonlinear coupling among these

Fatigue Crack Propagation Analysis of Chemically Modified Crumb Rubber Asphalt Mixtures [PDF]

, 2004
: The fatigue fracture behavior of three asphalt mixtures is studied using semicircular specimen geometry. These mixtures consist of a control, a crumb rubber (CR) modified asphalt mixture, and a chemically modified crumb rubber (CMCR)–asphalt mixture ...

Evaluation of aging impact on rheological and chemical characteristics of crumb rubber-modified warm asphalt binders

Science Progress
Asphalt pavements are consistently subjected to environmental and loading conditions that affect their durability, such as oxidative aging. Modification of the pavements assists in reducing the aging-induced stiffness.

Assessing the Biodegradability of Tire Tread Particles and Influencing Factors

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 31-41, January 2024.
Abstract Abrasion of tire tread, caused by friction between vehicle tires and road surfaces, causes release of tire wear particles (TWPs) into various environmental compartments. These TWPs contribute to chemical, microplastic, and particulate matter pollution.

Multi‐attribute temporal descriptive methods in sensory analysis applied in food science: A systematic scoping review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Among descriptive sensory evaluation methods, temporal methods have a wide audience in food science because they make it possible to follow perception as close as possible to the moment when sensations are perceived. The aim of this work was to describe 30 years of research involving temporal methods by mapping the scientific literature using ...

Impact of crumb rubber modifier type and blending temperature on asphalt binder and mixture properties [PDF]

, 2019
As the price of asphalt binder continues to rise, state agencies are looking for sustainable ways to reduce the cost of asphalt pavements without compromising performance. One such alternative is the use of crumb rubber (CR), derived from waste tires, in
