Particularly challenging classes of heterogeneous surfaces are ones where strong secondary circulations are generated, potentially dominating the flow dynamics. In this study, we focus on land-sea breeze circulations (LSBs) resulting from surface thermal contrasts in the presence of increasing synoptic pressure forcing. The relative importance and orientation of the thermal and synoptic forcings are measured through two dimensionless parameters: a bulk Richardson number Ri = W*2/Mg2 (Mg is the geostrophic wind magnitude and W* a convective buoyant velocity scale), and the angle α between the shore and geostrophic wind. Large eddy simulations reveal the emergence of various regimes where the dynamics are shown to be asymmetric with respect to α. Along-shore cases result in deep LSBs similar to the quiescent scenario (zero synoptic background), irrespective of the strength of Mg. Across-shore simulations exhibit a circulation cell that decreases in height with increasing synoptic forcing. However, at the highest synoptic winds simulated, the circulation cell is advected away with sea-to-land winds, while a shallow circulation persists for land-to-sea cases. Scaling analysis that relates the internal parameters Qshore (net shore volumetric flux) and qshore (net shore advected heat flux) to the external input parameters Mg and W* results in a succinct model of the shore fluxes that also helps explain the physical implications of the identified LSBs. Finally, the vertical profiles of the shore-normal velocity and shore-advected heat flux are used, with the aid of k-means clustering, to independently classify the LSBs in the (Ri –1, α) regime space diagram (canonical LSB, sea-driven LSB, land-driven LSB, and advected LSB), corroborating our visual categorization. © 2023, CC BY.

Increasing pressures on the animal and cropland agriculture sectors have led to the realization of problems with animal waste management and ammonia-based fertilizer supply. Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are a new-age technology that offer a way to address these problems. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), one type of BES, are traditionally used for electricity generation from microbial degradation of organic matters, but can also be used to recover nutrients from wastes simultaneous with treatment. This research investigates an MFC for ammonia recovery from the organic nitrogen (orgN) fraction of synthetic dairy manure, using the simple amino acid glycine as the orgN source. We investigate five different synthetic manure compositions to determine their effect on MFC performance, and found minimal sacrifices in performance under orgN conditions when compared to the base condition without orgN. The MFC achieved greater than 90% COD removal in all orgN conditions. Nitrogen (N) removal efficiencies of between 40% and 60% were achieved in orgN conditions, indicating that organic nitrogen can be used as the substrate for ammonia mineralization and further recovery as fertilizer. Furthermore, we found the MFC to be largely populated by electrogenic organisms from the phyla Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Halobacterota, with organisms in both Bacteroidota and Firmicutes capable of N mineralization present. Lastly, we found that in conditions where orgN is scarce and the only N source provided, microbes preferentially degrade organic matter from other dead organisms, especially as a N source, instead of available but scarce complex organic N. This increases the concentration of N in the MFC system and introduces important operational constraints for MFCs operated for ammonia recovery from orgN. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The present study demonstrates a gap analysis (in response to the COVID-19 pandemic) of the best known widely used green building certification and rating systems (GBC&RSs): LEED, WELL, BREEAM, CASBEE. These systems have been analyzed for their missing responses according to a list of selected pandemic-sustainable indicators. The gap levels for each system have been calculated and then compared to each other. Among four GBC&RSs, BREEAM exhibited the smallest gap score, whereas LEED and WELL held the largest gap scores. Following these results, we suggest courses of action for each system to remove the gaps that will result in achieving a better response under pandemic conditions. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Steel slag, a by-product of the steel-making industry, offers potential for soil stabilization but remains underutilized in sandy soils due to challenges such as slow strength development, low water retention, particle segregation, and bleeding. Cellulose, a plant-based biopolymer, enhances soil water retention and may improve the performance of steel slag-treated *** study investigated the stabilization of Masado granite and Toyoura silica sands using steel slag and two forms of unhydrolyzed cellulose: cellulose powder (CP) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Sands were treated with steel slag at varying contents (0%, 10%, 15%, 30%, and 50%) to identify the optimal dosage and the most suitable sand based on unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and pozzolanic reactivity over 3, 7, 14, and 28 days. CP and CMC were added at 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% to evaluate their effects on the UCS, flowability, compaction, mineralogy, and microstructure. The findings established 30% steel slag as the optimal dosage, enhancing UCS by 99.05%. Masado granite sand exhibited the highest UCS (558.85 kPa), outperforming Toyoura silica sand (34 kPa) due to better pozzolanic reactivity. Incorporating 0.5% cellulose further improved strength, with CMC and CP increasing UCS by 53.29% and 49.23%, respectively, through gel thread and fibrous network formation. These optimized composites reduced cement-related carbon emissions by 2.5% per kilometer of highway embankments, demonstrating their viability as sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials. © 2025, The Authors.

Waste plastics and microplastic pollution are two of the most pressing global issues during the past few decades, since the beginning of plastic mass production either for direct use in packaging and plastic products, or for indirect use for plastic dependent industries. The issue is even more problematic for Africa due to the late catch-up of the industrialization and urbanization boom for most of the African countries, which is usually accompanied with intensive production, consumption, and waste generation of plastics. Moreover, the growing population, cheaper costs of plastic products, and minor importance of environmental conservation in developing countries in Africa are making it an easy choice to expand in plastic use and wastage. African countries have imported about 172 Mton of polymers and plastics valued between 1990 and 2017, and the per capita consumption of plastic in Africa in 2015 was 16 kg/capita/year. While plastic is very important for populations, inappropriate disposal or treatment of plastic waste can introduce hazardous and toxic materials to our environment and ecosystem like microplastics that usually consists of persistent polymers, and other toxic plastic additives like plasticizers, antioxidants, and stabilizers. Moreover, 79% of plastic waste worldwide is being discharged to landfills or open environments. That's why mixed plastic waste was listed as hazardous waste in the Basel Convention. Therefore, this paper provides a review of the life cycle of plastics in. Production and importing will be discussed, important usages will also be elaborated, and most importantly plastic waste production and current plastic waste management techniques will be evaluated and highlighted, and drawbacks of current strategies will be addressed. Finally, recommendations about better waste management strategies will be provided. © 2021 American Institute of Chemical Engineers. All rights reserved.

Inundation mechanisms and overbank water quality along the lower Mississippi River during the major floods of 2018, 2019, and 2020

Journal of Hydrology 2025年 661卷

Artificially narrowed embanked floodplains, like those along the lower Mississippi River (LMR), are limited in their capacity to attenuate flooding and maximize nutrient retention. This study examines mechanisms and patterns of inundation during three major LMR floods (2018–2020) by analyzing water levels and temperatures from continuously operating sensors. Additionally, in-situ water quality measurements and overbank water samples collected in 2019 were analyzed for sediment, sorbed carbon and nutrients, and dissolved nutrients. Results indicate that subsurface seepage during the early rising limb initiates water-level increases in deep floodplain water bodies, followed by backwater inundation of distal floodplains, crevasse activation, and finally overtopping of natural levees near maximum stages. Overbank water samples from March and June 2019 indicate that dissolved nitrate-nitrite (54% & 24% less), phosphorus (27% & 29% less), and suspended-sediment concentrations (70% & 59% less) were lower than the LMR channel upstream, indicating nutrient retention and sediment deposition in the embanked floodplain;findings are partly supported by declining trends with distance from the channel bank. Conversely, mass percentages of sorbed carbon (235% & 68% more) and nitrogen (300% & 125% more) were higher than the LMR channel, resulting from sand deposition on natural levees and continued suspension of adsorptive fine-grained sediments. Subsequent fine-grained settling retains carbon and nitrogen in floodplain deposits. These findings establish that modes and patterns of sediment deposition and nutrient retention vary as stages adjust during long-duration floods, and while deeply inundated embanked floodplains remain capable of retention, fine sediment and nutrients primarily bypass downstream. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

This work explores the use of photosynthesized coccoliths (intricate CaCO3 particles) as a nucleation agent or cement replacement in portland cement paste. First, coccoliths were produced and harvested from the marine microalgae Emiliania huxleyi and the particle size, morphology, and mineralogy were characterized. Then, the nucleation effects of E. huxleyi coccoliths as seeding agent (0.5, 1, 3, or 5 wt % additions) and limestone filler (5 and 15 wt % cement replacements) were studied using isothermal conduction calorimetry and compressive strength testing. The results were compared with five commercially available CaCO3 sources used as nucleation agents and fillers. While the high surface area of coccoliths (12.22 m2/g) enhanced water demand, it also enhanced nucleation during cement hydration without accelerating hydration, leading to enhanced early-age strength without detriments to 28-day strength. Results highlight a potential carbon reduction strategy, namely employing photosynthesis as a method of mineral admixture production, for the cement and concrete industry. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.

The expanding field of synthetic biology (synbio) supports new opportunities in the design of targeted bioproducts or modified microorganisms. However, this rapid development of synbio products raises concerns surrounding likely risks when the modified organism contaminates unintended environments. Additionally, new tools are required to screen for these risks during the design phase. EcoGenoRisk is a computational risk assessment tool designed to evaluate the potential environmental risks posed by synthetic organisms. The overall goal of this tool is evaluating the environmental risk associated with synbio organisms establishing a population where genetically similar organisms reside. The first module of the tool, NicheOverlap, aims to identify genetically similar microorganisms to the synthetic biology organism and evaluate the risks posed by analyzing potential competition, mutualism, and inhibition between the organisms. Here, we compiled and analyzed 520 Archaeal and 32,828 Bacterial complete assembly genomes to analyze the tools specificity and accuracy in analyzing input genomes, as well as to characterize the enzymatic capabilities of different taxonomic lineages. Additionally, ecological relationships were analyzed to determine which would result in the greatest ecological disruption. Competition was found to be the primary mode of ecological disruption, resulting in unequal sharing of resources. Furthermore, high genetic similarity between organisms indicated an increase of competition for resources. Although the tool was effective in assessing synthetic organism risk, limitations, and vulnerabilities, such as large variability in scoring for genetically mildly different genomes and reliance on databases with update latencies were identified. Overall, EcoGenoRisk is a valuable tool for evaluating the environmental risks associated with synthetic organisms, but further improvements and validation studies are necessary for real-world applications. © 2023, Th

High global demand for nickel metal has contributed significantly to the growth of the nickel mining industry in Indonesia. This growth has a positive multiplier effect on the economy, with the potential to affect aquatic life and humans owing to the high levels of chromium, nickel, and iron in mine water. Therefore, this study aims to develop an electrocoagulation (EC) reactor to remove nickel, chromium, and iron from mine water. This study used a continuous reactor and aluminum electrodes with variations in current density (3.378, 6.757, and 10.135 mA/cm²) and inflow (0.3, 0.5, and 1 L/min). The results showed that the operating scenario with a current strength of 6 A and an inflow of 0.3 L/min had a removal efficiency of 86.89 % nickel, 99.51 % chromium, and 80.61 % iron with a charge loading value of 11,194 F/ma³ and Reynolds number of 39. These results are expected to provide valuable information for the development of an effective EC technology, thereby demonstrating its potential for the removal of metals from nickel mine water. © 2024 The Authors
