Influences on continental margin development: a case study from the Santos Basin, South-eastern Brazil [PDF]

, 2013
South Atlantic margins display significant variation in structural style along their length. An understanding of factors that influence this variation in structural style is a key component in any understanding of the evolution of the South Atlantic. The

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Stabilization of Shallow Landslides Induced by Rainwater Infiltration—A Case Study from Northern Croatia

Geotechnics
Climate change brings with it phenomena such as large amounts of rainfall in short periods. Infiltration of rainwater into clayey soils is a common trigger for shallow landslides on slopes.

Structural evolution of the Tenggol Arch and its implication for basement fracture patterns in the Malay Basin, Malaysia [PDF]

, 2008
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the Tenggol Arch, a basement high that forms part of the western margin of the Malay Basin, offshore peninsular Malaysia. Fractured crystalline basement rocks in this area have previously

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Dissipated Energy and Pore Pressure Generation Patterns in Sands and Non-Plastic Silts Subjected to Cyclic Loadings

Geotechnics
The factors that influence dissipated energy and pore pressure generation patterns with respect to the cycle ratio and dissipated energy ratio were analyzed using the results of cyclic triaxial and cyclic direct simple shear tests.

Constraining the timing and processes of pediment formation and dissection: implications for long-term evolution in the Western Cape, South Africa [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
Pediment surfaces are a widespread feature of the southern African landscape and have long been regarded as ancient landforms. Cosmogenic nuclide data from four pediment surfaces in the Gouritz catchment, Western Cape, South Africa, are reported ...

Multifunctional Eutectic Mixtures Enable Integrated Recovery of U, Pu, and Sr From Nuclear Waste

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel class of multifunctional eutectic mixtures, crafted from crown ether and organophosphorus molecules, achieves highly efficient, simultaneous recovery of uranium, plutonium, and strontium from nuclear waste. The material operates via a dual “coordination‐encapsulation” mechanism within self‐assembled reverse‐micelle structures, offering a ...
