Modelling the thermo-mechanical volume change behaviour of compacted expansive clays [PDF]
, 2009 Compacted expansive clays are often considered as a possible buffer material in high-level deep radioactive waste disposals. After the installation of waste canisters, the engineered clay barriers are subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical actions in the ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Modelling of imbibition process in an embankment scale model [PDF]
, 2016 This paper aims to investigate the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a loosely compacted embankment during an inundation event. This study is based on the results of a centrifuge test carried out on a small-scale embankment model made of an artificially ...

SERS‐Based Nano‐ and Microsystems Toward Biomedical Applications
Small, EarlyView.This review provides a current overview of nano‐ and microscale SERS‐based devices, encompassing all aspects from material design to practical applications. We highlight controlled SERS‐active architectures, including patterned substrates, nanorods, microspheres, micromotors, and microneedles, as well as combinations of these microfluidic systems.

Pile-Soil Interaction in Unsaturated Soil Conditions [PDF]
, 2014 The degree of saturation has been proven to significantly affect geotechnical engineering designs for foundations. The changes in water content will influence the way the soil behaves, including its strength and stiffness parameters.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...
