Artificial Shelters as a Monitoring and Conservation Tool for Terrestrial Breeding Frogs
Artificial concrete and wooden shelters were tested as low‐impact tools for monitoring a cryptic terrestrial‐breeding frog, Austrochaperina robusta, in the Australian Wet Tropics. Frogs overwhelmingly preferred concrete shelters, which provided stronger thermal buffering, supported higher occupancy across seasons, and were the only shelters used for ...

The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.

This review systematically explores the molecular behavior of diverse surfactants (anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric) at the oil–water interface through molecular dynamics simulations. It highlights their roles in reducing interfacial tension, altering interfacial structure, and enhancing oil recovery efficiency.

Applications of a Novel Wireless System for Real‐Time Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring
Developed monitoring system is a powerful tool for real‐time atmospheric corrosion monitoring. Humidity plays a critical role in the corrosion process. Limiting environmental parameters inducing maximum corrosion vary depending on the pollutants present. A monitoring system can be used in a wide range of scientific and practical applications.

A Thermodynamic Framework for Turing‐Type Instabilities in Porous Media: Part I Theory
Abstract Pattern formation in geological materials is commonly described using analogies to Turing‐type reaction–diffusion systems, yet a unifying thermodynamic explanation remains elusive. Here we develop a multiscale, thermodynamically consistent framework for pattern‐forming instabilities in porous media undergoing coupled thermo–hydro–mechanical ...
