Comprehensive Evaluation Method and Practice of Equipment Health Grade on Signaling System Service Life Prolonging Requirements

Chengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiu
Objective Evaluation methods for conventional equipment health grade tend to be one-sided and limited in scope. There is a need to develop an evaluation method tailored to the stringent safety demands of signaling systems. The goal is to control the full

Climate Change is Rewriting the Hydroclimatic Operating Envelope of Mines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is shown to shift the hydroclimatic operating envelope of mines: 16.2% of represented mine locations have already changed Köppen subtype, rising to 42.5% by late century under SSP5‐8.5. Divergent water trajectories are filtered through geology, infrastructure and lifecycle stage, indicating that adaptation requires monitored, scenario ...

Next Generation Antimicrobial Coatings for High Touch Surfaces: Application, Benefits, Risks, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability Aspects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial coatings for high touch surfaces promise infection control but are too often validated only in the lab. This review shows that active‐agent release governs both human toxicity and environmental impact and argues that durability and real‐world performance must be primary design criteria, placing a safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework ...

A Magnetically Programmable Metasurface for Versatile Scattering Manipulation in the Microwave Band

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A magnetically programmable metasurface converts external magnetic fields into microwave phase modulation, thereby removing surface bias wiring. This mechanism achieves both retro‐reflective beam control and radar scattering suppression, offering a contactless, barrier‐penetrating solution for on‐demand electromagnetic scattering reconfiguration ...

The Effect of SNAP Purchasing Power on Diet Quality

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits millions of eligible low‐income Americans by increasing access to food, helping to reduce food insecurity. Previous studies have documented that the geographical variation in local food prices leads to significant differences in SNAP's purchasing power.
