Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Mitigation of GHGs Emission From Soils by a Catalyzed In-Situ Photo-Oxidative Polymerization of Soil Organic Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Agricultural lands under food and bio-energy crops, managed grass and permanent crops including agro-forestry, occupy about 40-50% of the Earth's land surface^1^. In 2005, agriculture accounted for an estimated emission of 5.1 to 6.1 GtCO2-eq/yr (10-

Durability parameters of reinforced recycled aggregate concrete: Case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Recycled concrete aggregate (RA) from pavement demolition was used to make concrete. Ten concrete mixtures with different replacement percentages of RA (coarse and fine) were made.

Effect of Drying - Wetting Cycles on Triaxial Compression Mechanical Properties of Sandstone

open access: yesJournal of Engineering Science and Technology Review, 2016
To investigate the geological hazards caused by the action of drying-wetting cycle on rocks, we conducted a conventional triaxial compression test on sandstone under a high number of repeated drying-wetting cycles. By using the TAW-2000D microcomputer-controlled electro-hydraulic servo triaxial rock testing machine, this study investigated the ...

Electrochemical Evaluation of Compressed Selective Laser Melted AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg Alloys in Chloride Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The corrosion performance of AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg alloys produced through selective laser melting (SLM) was examined under compressive stress in a chloride environment. Electrochemical analyses, including open‐circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization (CPP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), were complemented by scanning ...

An elastoplastic model for unsaturated expansive soils based on shakedown concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is important to model the behaviour of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to hydromechanical loadings, because these wetting and drying cycles alter significantly their hydromechanical behaviour which may cause a huge differential settlement on the ...

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...

Effect of Dry–Wet Cycling on Methanotrophs in Wetland Soils

open access: yesBiology
Wetlands occupy a mere 6% of Earth’s land surface, yet they contribute 25–45% of global natural methane (CH4) emissions. A key contradiction emerges here: it is the soil of these wetlands that serves as the host for methane-trophic microorganisms, which can oxidize the vast majority of the methane they produce under specific conditions (for example ...

Handbook of Establishing and Maintaining Oxygen‐Free Atmospheres

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a practical framework for creating oxygen‐free atmospheres at ambient pressure using silane‐doped inert gases. The results show that ultra‐low oxygen levels and strongly reduced water content can be achieved through controlled silane dosing, drying systems, and sensor monitoring.
