Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Effect of recycling on mechanical and physical properties of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PC/ABS/PMMA) blends

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
The 100% recycling of optimal polycarbonate/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PC/ABS/PMMA) blends, identified through the mixture design, over multiple successive cycles provides valuable insights into their life cycle. Subsequently, chemical, rheological, thermal and mechanical characterizations will be carried out to evaluate

Valorization of Poplar Wood Wastes Into 3D‐Printed Soya Oil‐Based Composites by Vat Photopolymerization for Interior Design

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐based polymer composites were 3D printed by LCD vat photopolymerization using acrylate epoxidized soybean oil as the monomer and isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent. Two different poplar powders derived from plywood processing waste were incorporated within the photocurable formulations.

Basal anti-heave stability of foundation pits in unsaturated soils

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
It is known that the soils surrounding a foundation pit are commonly in an unsaturated condition and the displacement of a retaining wall routinely rotates around wall bottom (i.e., RB displacement mode). The bearing capacity of strip foundations at wall

Inclusion of chemical effect in a fully coupled THM finite element code [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bentonite-rich clays can be used as a buffer / backfill material in deep geological repositories for nuclear waste. The prediction of the long-term performance of a buffer / backfill in such a complex environment, where the temperature, humidity and ...

Spatial Variability of Permafrost and Active Layer Thickness in a Forested Hillslope of the Taiga Shield

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Agricultural and environmental drivers of variation in the composition of food crops: A scoping review

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural management and environmental conditions influence the biochemical composition of food crops; however, the specific drivers of this variation remain insufficiently understood, despite their importance for climate change adaptation and human health.

Phase field modeling of partially saturated deformable porous media

open access: yes, 2016
A poromechanical model of partially saturated deformable porous media is proposed based on a phase field approach at modeling the behavior of the mixture of liquid water and wet air, which saturates the pore space, the phase field being the saturation ...

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.
