Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) as a tool in geotechnical investigation of the substrate of a highway

Studia Quaternaria, 2014
Abstract Geological and geotechnical engineering field tests, like structure drillings and dynamic (DPL, DPSH) or static probing (CPT), are considered for a fundamental source of information about soil and water environments. Since Eurocode 7 has been introduced, it has become more common to use also dilatometers (DMT) or pressure meters (PMT ...

Identification of leachate infiltration and its flow pathway in landfill by means of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020
Sanitary landfills are a well-planned engineering work for final disposal of municipal solid waste in order to minimize the environmental impacts in soil and groundwater. Therefore, several control systems are installed such as liners and leachate and biogas collectors.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

PRECARIZED AGEING‐IN‐PERIFERIA: Low‐Income Older Adults in a Transforming Neighbourhood

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article we investigate how intersecting forms of precarity shape the everyday practices of ageing‐in‐place developed by low‐income older adults in Via Milano, a historically segregated yet rapidly transforming neighbourhood in Brescia, northern Italy. We draw on qualitative and ethnographic research to examine how diverse urban changes—

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

The Interactive Impact of Regulation, Entrepreneurship, and Cultural Values on Technology Adoption: Renewable Energy in the EU

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract How can diverse sources legitimize new technology when it lacks economic parity? Government policies that endorse nascent technologies play a central role through regulatory legitimation. Yet, we know less about whether inducement policies that incentivize adoption or imposition policies that mandate it are more effective, and how that ...
