Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

The Effects of Plastic and Microplastic Waste on the Marine Environment and the Ocean

European Journal of Environment and Earth Sciences
Globally, plastic pollution is acknowledged as a serious human-caused problem for marine and coastal ecosystems. The main sources of these pollutants in the many ways they enter the ocean are land-based and sea-based. Megaplastic, mesoplastic, macroplastic, and microplastic are among the various sizes and kinds of plastic pollutants that are found in ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Photothermal–Magnetocaloric Coupled Evaporators for Actively Adjustable Water Evaporation and Oil–Water Purification in Complex Environments

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A photothermal–magnetocaloric coupled aerogel evaporator is developed for actively adjustable water evaporation in complex environments. Magnetocaloric heating provides active energy compensation under low‐light conditions and disrupts interfacial hydrogen‐bond networks to promote evaporation.

From Policy Presence to Policy Performance: Adaptive Improvisation and the Everyday Politics of Plastic Burning Bans in Rural Indonesia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open burning plastics is a major environmental health hazard in low‐ and middle‐income countries, releasing toxic pollutants and exacerbating climate change. Although Indonesia prohibits plastic burning, enforcement in rural settings remains fragile.

Effects of hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles on the tribological and emission attributes of algae‐derived biofuel in compression ignition engines

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.
