Capillary absorption of unsaturated concrete subjected to sustained compressive loading [PDF]
Water penetration into concrete is one of the main factors to cause the deterioration of structures and chloride-induced reinforcing steel corrosion. External sustained mechanical loadings can substantially change the internal pore-structure of concrete ...

ABSTRACT Wine yeasts play a central role in alcoholic fermentation and significantly contribute to the sensory attributes of wines through cellular autolysis during lees aging (sur lie), especially in white wines. This process releases organic compounds that alter the wine's chemical and sensory profile.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,
