Abstract Nature‐based shoreline protection strategies, such as engineered oyster reefs and living shorelines, offer sustainable alternatives to hard infrastructure. In this controlled laboratory study, we evaluate relative hydrodynamic and sediment‐response differences among interlocking oyster‐castle configurations under monochromatic wave forcing ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces
Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

A field‐validated predictive model accurately estimates the strain modulus of waste calcium composite‐stabilized dispersive clay. The model provides a reliable, sustainable, and cost‐effective tool for subgrade design, reducing dependence on extensive field testing while improving pavement performance.

Results from a paired‐watershed BACI study in suburban Baltimore, MD showed that green stormwater infrastructure is highly effective at mitigating stormwater runoff during conversion of 13% of the treated watershed to development. The significant treatment effects based on the analysis of more than 200 storm events monitored during a 5.5‐year study ...

Remote Sensing for Monitoring and Managing Urban Soils in Coastal Areas: A Review
ABSTRACT Coastal urban soils (CUS) exhibit distinct physical–chemical properties due to the combined effects of intense interaction among anthropogenic and natural pressures, resulting in a unique, complex and highly vulnerable system. While CUS are vital for the urban coastal environment and its inhabitants, numerous factors significantly threaten ...

Early‐life intake of nutritional additives, particularly during pregnancy and the early postnatal period, reduces the risk of Helicobacter pylori infection (HPI) in children by enhancing immune function and preventing gastrointestinal infections through proper nutrition, supporting the “(Pre‐)Fetal origins of HPI” hypothesis through the “gut–uterine ...

Advancements in pervious concrete technology [PDF]
Pervious concrete has been used for many years in the southern United States but only recently have stormwater mandates implemented by the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created interest for more wide-spread installations ...
