The appropriateness of one-dimensional Yucca Mountain hydrologic calculations; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project [PDF]
, 1993 This report brings into focus the results of numerous studies that have addressed issues associated with the validity of assumptions which are used to justify reducing the dimensionality of numerical calculations of water flow through Yucca Mountain, NV. it is shown that, in many cases, one-dimensional modeling is more rigorous than previously assumed.

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.ZIF‐8 exhibited a synergistic effect on 2,4‐D efficacy against barnyard grass by regulation of auxin synthesis pathway, as well as the synergistic regulation of metabolic pathways involving 2,4‐D and ZIF‐8. Furthermore, the use of ZIF‐8 as a carrier could improve the safety of 2,4‐D for wheat.

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract As part of a collaboration between the United States and Israel, we are investigating the viability of subsurface spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal in the Negev Desert, Israel. The proposed SNF disposal concept consists of a field of intermediate‐depth boreholes (IDBs) completed to a depth of ∼300 m within the vadose zone.

TSPA 1991: An initial total-system performance assessment for Yucca Mountain; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project [PDF]
, 1992 This report describes an assessment of the long-term performance of a repository system that contains deeply buried highly radioactive waste; the system is assumed to be located at the potential site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The study includes an identification of features, events, and processes that might affect the potential repository, a ...

Twenty‐Five Years of Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract Fault displacement hazard poses significant risks to critical infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding
