Analysis of arching around shallow tunnels using the boundary element approach [PDF]
, 2010 This paper describes a study of the effect of soil arching around shallow tunnels using the Boundary Element Method. Due to the different stiffnesses of the soil and the underground structure, then, under surface loading, the differential displacements ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A smart power‐generating coating is developed to harvest energy from both ambient humidity and impacting liquid droplets. The integrated system delivers sustained open‐circuit voltages of 0.85 V from moisture and up to 36 V from droplets. Its scalable coating architecture enables a continuous power supply for low‐power electronic devices.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Metarhizium anisopliae alleviates the phytotoxic effects of polyethylene nanoplastics (NP) and lead (Pb) in rice by decreasing Pb uptake, restoring antioxidant and hormonal equilibrium, and promoting growth. Additionally, the fungus modifies the rhizosphere microbiota, enhancing both contaminant tolerance and plant growth, thereby effectively ...
