Thermal improvement of existing dwellings [PDF]
, 2005 This report describes the outcome from a study to determine the impact of energy efficiency measures applied to the Scottish housing stock. Assuming conventional property type classifications, the present performance of the housing stock is quantified ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Imaging porosity evolution of tight sandstone during spontaneous water imbibition by X-ray Micro-CT
HeliyonWater imbibition is an important process in reservoir rocks during hydraulic fracturing and water-based enhanced oil recovery operations. However, the water imbibition behavior in tight sandstones has not been fully understood due to their complex pore ...

Deep refuges: the distribution of marine fish in warming subtropics
Ecography, EarlyView.In light of global climate change, identifying critical marine habitats and conserving them is essential. Marine conservation planning recommends designating cooler habitats as marine protected areas. The ‘deep‐reef refugia' hypothesis suggests that deeper, suitable habitats may allow species to undergo the evolutionary changes necessary to adapt to ...

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Ecography, EarlyView.Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...

Failure Mechanism of Asymmetric Large Deformations Under Repeated Mining in Roadways
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Principal stress‐evolution diagram at different advance positions of 42205 working face. ABSTRACT To address the challenge of controlling severe asymmetrical deformation in roadways subjected to repeated mining, this study (i.e., based on the engineering context of the Buertai Coal Mine) investigated the characteristics of the regional stress field in ...

Research on Precise Identification of Rock Strength Based on Bolt Drilling Parameters
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Drilling detection test platform. ABSTRACT During roadway excavation, the presence of weak interlayers and fractured rock masses significantly affects roof stability. To achieve timely and effective roadway support, it is crucial to identify and predict different rock types based on drilling signals from roof bolters.
