Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Advances in Design Strategy and Mechanism Insights for Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Multilevel Site Engineering and Structure–Activity Relationship

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review is about material design based on engineering multilevel sites from theoretical calculation and synthetic routes to mechanism, structure–activity relationship, challenges and perspectives for boosting hydrogen production in alkaline electrolyte. Electrolytic water splitting is a clean, carbon‐free method for producing green hydrogen and has

Bio‐Inspired Sclerotization of Lignin: A Robust Adhesive for Photothermal Wood‐Based Panels

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A high‐performance lignin adhesive is engineered via an insect‐inspired sclerotization strategy involving oxidation and hyperbranched polymer grafting, overcoming lignin's adhesion failure, and yielding a wet shear strength of 1.02–1.21 MPa. The adhesive endows wood‐based panels with photothermal functionality; building energy simulations indicate HVAC‐

Assessing Policy‐Oriented Learning About Climate‐Related Forest Disturbances in Europe

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European forests provide multiple ecosystem services but are increasingly under pressure from climate‐related disturbances such as droughts, storms and insect calamities. Forest policy is an important driver for the adaptation of forest management practices to climate change.

Valence Asymmetries of Traits in Dating Contexts

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on traits in dating contexts has typically focused on trait content. We instead examined structural differences in trait frequency and similarity. Prior work suggests that positive information is more frequent, whereas negative information is more diverse and less similar.

Fracture Development Mechanism of Water‐Isolating Soil Layers During Downward Mining of Shallow‐Buried Coal Seam Groups

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates the fracture development mechanisms of water‐isolating soil layers under the coupled effects of repeated mining and groundwater seepage during the downward mining of shallow‐buried coal seams. The findings provide a theoretical basis for evaluating stratum stability and preventing roof water inrush.

Designing a Culture‐Driven C‐STEAM Project Framework for Vocational Education

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rapid technological advances and a growing emphasis on cultural sustainability in education, STEAM education has been widely adopted to support interdisciplinary learning and decision‐making skills. However, many STEAM implementations remain largely instrumental, regularly neglecting cultural meaning‐making, value orientation, and ...
