Investigating the differential impact of mining stress on roadways, we find that in horizontally stressed environments, the inner surrounding rock exhibits more pronounced macro‐meso damage compared to the outer side. ABSTRACT The control of surrounding rocks in dynamic pressure roadways has consistently been one of the challenging predicaments in the ...

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil
ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

Subsidences Due to Underground Mining
The origin and evolution of sinkholes as well as of large subsidence depressions above underground excavations are explained by the changes in strain in rocks due to the mining activity. But on the periphery of the destructive ellipsoid the extension of rocks and the upheaval of the earth surface also take place, caused by the lowering of the strain ...

Diterpenoid Diversity across Land Plants
Here we bridge the knowledge of diterpene chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and evolution from nonvascular mosses and liverworts to that known from vascular plants. ABSTRACT The diverse array of diterpenoid natural products stems from the ease of manipulating the promiscuity of diterpene cyclases.

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Earnings Quality and ESG Performance in Energy and Utilities: What Really Matters?
ABSTRACT The paper investigates the controversial relationship between firms' earnings quality and environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, focusing on the energy and utility sectors given their significant regulatory pressures, environmental impact, and capital‐intensive nature, which render ESG performance particularly important for ...

Challenges in mining subsidence engineering
Subsidence represents one of the most complex and debated issues in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering. It can significantly impact the environment and endanger the stability of surface and subsurface structures and infrastructure. Reliable prediction methods are therefore essential to mitigate the adverse effects of mining-induced subsidence.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of regulatory controls on Bitcoin's excess returns and volatility. The paper innovates by proxying changes in the regulatory environment using global Google search volume intensity data. The generated regulatory indices accurately identify episodes of regulatory tightening within cryptocurrency markets.
