IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract This research aims to study the intelligent wireless sensor to improve the water permeability of permeable asphalt concrete pavement. The water permeability of pavement is extremely important for the traffic environment. This study first briefly introduces the background and significance analysis, and then exemplifies the deployment algorithm ...

Optimizing biomass use for carbon storage and land use with the OptiBiU model
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Optimal biomass use in a circular bioeconomy requires a system perspective to guide decision‐making. The Optimizing Biomass Use (OptiBiU) model was developed for this purpose. The model distinguishes among primary biomass production, intermediate products, and biobased products, and incorporates recycling.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

A Bio-Wicking System to Mitigate Capillary Water in Base Course [PDF]
, 2016 Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deteriorations. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and increase in permanent deformation. Conventional drainage systems can only drain gravity water

Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Design and construction aspects of a geocomposite drainage system in a dam [PDF]
, 2012 The drainage system of a dam depends mainly of the available granular material founded near the dam site and it’s quantities. In some cases, the use of natural granular materials can reach an impracticable cost considering the transportation and the ...

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.
