Unsaturated Response of Clayey Soils Stabilised with Alkaline Cements

Molecules, 2020
The influence of suction on the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated chemically stabilised soils is still mostly unknown and unquantified. This is also motivated by the difficulties associated with the experimental procedure required to fully characterise

Redox‐Dependent Chaperoning of GBF1 Condensates Regulates Seed Germination in Arabidopsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In dormant seeds (low ROS), GBF1 forms liquid condensates to repress the germination gene CathB3, and the chaperone GIP1 maintains condensate liquidity and repressive activity. Upon imbibition (high ROS), ROS oxidize GIP1 during germination, impairing its chaperone function.

Sustainable Soil Stabilisation

Soil stabilisation is crucial to tackle the problem of soil disasters which may occur as a natural calamity or man-induced calamity. Many people are displaced from their homes and some even lose their life in such disasters. There are 3 main types of soil stabilisation including physical stabilisation, that is physically altering the site geology, such

Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

A technical note on unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of black cotton soil reinforced with hydrophobically-treated bamboo fibres

Discover Sustainability
This study explores hydrophobically-treated bamboo fibres effectiveness in improving black cotton soil’s unconfined compressive strength (UCS). Traditional soil stabilisation technologies like lime and cement increase soil strength while raising ...

Chemical Stabilisation of Clayey Soil—Comparison of a Variety of Additives with Respect to Their Effects on the Soil Compressive Strength and Shear Strength

Buildings
The unconfined compressive strength and shear strength represent the basic mechanical properties of clayey soil. If the soil in its natural state does not have sufficiently good mechanical properties, in engineering practice, it can be improved by ...

Mapping the “Supply–Demand–Flow” of Ecosystem Services for Ecosystem Management in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a “supply–demand–flow” framework clarifies how ecosystem services move between regions by distinguishing potential and actual supply and demand. Using integrated biophysical–socioeconomic modeling, nine services in China were mapped.

Sustainable development of roadways in Africa

Materiales de Construccion, 2012
Dallas Roadway Products (DRP) soil stabilization technology can effectively improve road foundation construction and with it the strength of roadway sub-grades and sub-bases. Soil samples were collected from roads in Nigeria’s six geo-political regions.
