Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

THE ECONOMICS OF GREEN PAYMENTS FOR REDUCING AGRICULTURAL NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION IN THE CORN BELT [PDF]

We develop a watershed-based model of green payments to examine how payments applied to different environmental performance measures compare on the basis of economic efficiency, equity, and environmental outcomes.

Investigation on hard‐rock breaking performance and auxiliary mechanism of picks assisted with both‐sided high‐pressure water jets

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper investigates the high‐pressure water jet‐pick combined rock‐breaking mode (HPC), which employs high‐pressure water jets to precut grooves on both sides of the picks. The rock‐breaking patterns and performance of the HPC method are obtained, and the auxiliary rock‐breaking mechanism of water jet grooving is revealed.

Mechanistic insights across curing regimes for enzymatic and biopolymer‐optimized reinforcement in rock masses

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Mixed‐Impurity Co‐Poisoning of NH3‐SCR Catalysts: Poisoning Mechanisms, Antagonistic Effects, and Anti‐Inactivation Strategies

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the synergistic effects of mixed impurities on ammonia‐selective catalytic reduction (NH3‐SCR) catalysts, including the poisoning mechanism of the catalyst caused by mixed impurities, the antagonistic effects between the impurities, and the research on the anti‐poisoning strategies for the catalyst in recent years.
