Methane Generation Using an Anaerobic Biodigester From Waste Leachate Water
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Leachate wastewater (LWW) is characterized by slow biodegradation and low biogas production due to resistant materials and limited biological activity. Therefore, applying pretreatments is essential to improving biodegradation potential, which consequently boosts energy recovery.

Physically Based Predictive Modelling of Archaeological Proxies Using Cropmarks
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cropmarks, as archaeological proxies, offer a valuable means of detecting buried sites through remote sensing. Yet, the scalability of such methods across varied archaeological contexts remains underexplored, and AI‐based modelling approaches are still in early stages.
