Analytical Modeling of Heat Transfer and Deformation Around a Circular Cavity in Elastic Ground
ABSTRACT The subsurface is increasingly exploited to host energy, utilities, and infrastructure systems that interact with surrounding soils and rocks through their thermal and functional operation. Prominent examples are provided by energy geostructures, district heating networks, buried power cables, steam and water pipes, and underground nuclear ...

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Recovering nutrients from urine – A golden opportunity for sustainable fertiliser production
Agricultural industrialisation has led to levels of nutrients in the environment that are well above safe operating limits, yet fertiliser use is necessary to feed a growing population. The recovery of nutrients from human urine in large, developed cities may offset some of the ecological and economic impacts associated with fertiliser production, as ...

Thirty years of glyphosate‐resistant crops and weeds: Current situation and future prospects
Since 1996, when the first glyphosate‐resistant crop was commercialized and the first resistant weed was reported, resistance has expanded globally. This review analyzes emergence patterns across weed species, crops, regions, resistance mechanisms, and herbicides.
