Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract Characterizing the concentration and mass flux spatial distributions at sites with complex hydrogeologic conditions is critical to evaluate the fate and transport of contaminants, as well as to design effective remediation programs. PFAS (per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances)‐contaminated sites are even more complex due to the large number of ...

Sensing the entrepreneurial city [PDF]
lo Squaderno, 2015 Have you been there? Have you felt the touch of rusty steel and heard the scrunch of neat gravel paths under your feet? Have you pulled the shiny handles of hyper-insulated glass doors that lead into bright foyers with clean concrete floors and soft ...

Mean turbulence statistics in boundary layers over high-porosity foams
, 2017 This paper reports turbulent boundary layer measurements made over open-cell reticulated foams with varying pore size and thickness, but constant porosity ($\epsilon \approx 0.97$). The foams were flush-mounted into a cutout on a flat plate.

Porous materials in building energy technologies—a review of the applications, modelling and experiments [PDF]
, 2018 Improving energy efficiency in buildings is central to achieving the goals set by Paris agreement in 2015, as it reduces the energy consumption and consequently the emission of greenhouse gases without jeopardising human comfort.

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Conflicting reports on biochar's effect on soil evaporation (E) highlight a poor understanding of how its physicochemical properties govern E dynamics in sandy soils. Thus, the aim of this study was to provide mechanistic insights by correlating biochar physicochemical properties with the distinct stages of evaporation.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Determination of strength and debonding energy of a glass-concrete interface for encapsulation-based self-healing concrete [PDF]
, 2017 This paper presents a combined experimental-numerical analysis to assess the strength and fracture toughness of a glass-concrete interface. This interface is present in encapsulation-based self-healing concrete.
