Slip characteristics of planar and rough granite fractures under unloading normal force

Frontiers in Earth Science
Unloading processes are common in natural systems. Intense unloading activities can alter the frictional equilibrium of faults and induce their instabilities.

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

Port capacity forecasting and the impact of the dredging works on port sea operations using discrete event simulation [PDF]

, 2016
Continuous capacity expansion is vital for ports to handle future growth due to the increase in volume of maritime transport and size of the vessels. Some improvements and developments are required for the port to enhance

Avian extra‐pair paternity in the last European primeval forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Primeval forests offer a reference baseline to understand the origins and evolution of mating systems, as their relatively undisturbed environment provides a glimpse into how ecological interactions and natural selection play out in their original context.

Study on the Performance of Bi₂O₃/BiOBr_γI_x Adsorptive Photocatalyst for Removal of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

Separations
In this study, a novel Bi2O3/BiOBr0.9I0.1 (BO0.9−BBI0.1) composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via a single-pot solvothermal method for the efficient degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) under visible light. The structure,

Renewal bud traits as a link between whole plant traits and herbaceous species phenology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Overwintering below‐ground buds and organs determine spring regrowth of perennial herbs in temperate regions. This effect could also manifest further in the timing and duration of plant growth and flowering and has been documented in some species and organ types ...

Evaluation of near-wall solution approaches for large-eddy simulations of flow in a centrifugal pump impeller

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2016
The turbulent flow in a centrifugal pump impeller is bounded by complex surfaces, including blades, a hub and a shroud. The primary challenge of the flow simulation arises from the generation of a boundary layer between the surface of the impeller and ...

Optimization Design of a Winch Suction Underwater Dredging Robot Using Orthogonal Experimental Design

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In marine engineering and water conservancy projects, dredging often occurs due to silt accumulation, which can impede the long-term development of water ecosystems and water storage systems. To enhance dredging efficiency and the performance of dredging
