Carbon biphenylene network (C-BPN), which is an ultrathin material consisting of carbon atoms arranged in square-hexagonal-octagonal (4-6-8) periodic rings, has intriguing properties for nano-scale device design due to its unique crystal structure. Here, using the Landauer formalism in combination with first-principles calculations, we show that C-BPN is a highly stable thermoelectric material at elevated temperatures under mechanical strain, where its thermoelectric efficiency can be anisotropically engineered. Transport calculations reveal that C-BPN's transmission spectrum has significant degrees of directional anisotropy and it undergoes a metal-insulator transition under strain, which leads to an increase in its Seebeck coefficient. C-BPN's lattice thermal conductance can be selectively tuned up to 35% bidirectionally at room temperature by strain engineering. Enhancement in its power factor and the suppression of its lattice thermal conductance improves the p-type figure of merit up to 0.31 and 0.46 at 300 and 500 K, respectively. Our findings reveal that C-BPN has high potency to be used in thermoelectric nanodevices with selective anisotropic properties at elevated temperatures.

The exponential increase in the construction of energy generation systems using wind turbines has driven the need for taller towers in search of stronger winds, resulting in challenges for the development of structural solutions. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on advancements in the modeling and design of direct foundations for wind turbine towers, emphasizing the importance of soil–structure interaction (SSI). The review covers three-dimensional models developed to analyze the impact of SSI, as well as the optimization of designs considering deflections and structural requirements. The main goal of the paper is to provide detailed insights to serve as a starting point for further research on direct foundations for wind turbine towers. Structural model analysis and the use of methods such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) have revealed significant variations in the effectiveness of foundations, depending on geometry and soil characteristics. The results highlight the importance of considering SSI for an accurate representation of the overall structural response. In the design and enhancement of wind structures, critical factors such as displacements and stresses must be considered when evaluating the interactions between the structure and the soil. Integrating these design considerations into the improvement of foundations is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of these structures, meeting the growing demands of the industry and promoting sustainability in wind energy generation. Thus, this research makes a significant contribution to the understanding and advancement of engineering practices for wind turbine tower foundations, establishing an important starting point for future investigations. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd

Increasing threats to global water resources from climate change emphasize the importance of comprehending its impacts on hydrology for effective water management. This article quantifies climate input uncertainty in streamflow projections for the Libmanan-Pulantuna Watershed (LPW) in the Bicol River Basin, Philippines. Using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model, we simulated streamflow based on future climate projections (FCPs) from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) greenhouse-gas emission scenarios, utilizing Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phases 5 (CMIP5) and 6 (CMIP6) datasets. Four Global Circulation Models (GCMs) and three bias correction techniques (Linear Scaling, Quantile Mapping, and Detrended Quantile Mapping) were applied. Results showed significant differences between the CMIP datasets, with raw CMIP6 better capturing historical climate patterns. Bias correction methods reduced projection biases in precipitation and air temperatures. Projections revealed increasing low flows and decreasing high flows, especially under high-emission scenarios, worsening water shortages during critical periods. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that climate models were a major source of uncertainty in hydrological projections. Combined FCPs and GCMs contributed to 50%-75% of total uncertainty across flow percentiles and future periods (near-future, mid-future, far-future). These findings underscore the importance of careful model selection and effective bias correction for reliable hydrological projections, crucial for water management strategies in areas like the Bicol River Basin, where water resources are essential for communities and ecosystems. © 2025, The Authors.

Modern design of nuclear facilities represents unique challenges: enabling the design of complex advanced concepts, supporting geographically dispersed teams, and supporting first-of-a-kind system development. Errors made early in design can introduce silent errors. These errors can cascade causing unknown risk of complex engineering programs. The Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) program uses digital-engineering principles for design, procurement, construction, and operation to reduce risk and improve efficiencies. Digital engineering is an integrated, model-based approach which connects proven digital tools such as building information management (BIM), project controls, and systems-engineering software tools into a cohesive environment. The VTR team hypothesizes using these principals can lead to similar risk and cost reductions and schedule efficiencies observed in other engineering industries. This research investigates the use of a digital engineering ecosystem in the design of a 300-MWt sodium-cooled fast reactor. This ecosystem was deployed to over 200 engineers and used to deliver the conceptual design of the VTR. We conclude that initial results show significant reductions in user latency (1000x at peak use), the possibility of direct finite-element-analysis (FEA) integrations to computer-aided design (CAD) tools, and nuclear reactor system design descriptions (SDDs) that we can fully link throughout design in data-driven requirements-management software. These early results led to the VTR maintaining milestone performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Copyright © 2022 by Idaho National Laboratory. Published by INCOSE with permission.

Enhancing Construction Claims Resolution Efficiency: A Systematic Review of the UAVs Applications in Construction Claim Management

引用

Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in engineering and Construction 2025年第3期17卷

Construction claims correspond to the significant drain of top management energy, focus, financial resources, and time. Even utilized modern project management (PM) approaches in claim resolution did not offer comprehensive solutions. Incomplete resolution of a claim results in a dispute, a more challenging, lengthy, and complex problem. Some construction specialists have tried incorporating new technologies, exclusively unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in construction to perform certain activities, contributing to enhanced efficiencies, productivity, and practicalities. While the available literature does contain rich discussions of UAV applications in various construction tasks, it does lack broad investigations on UAV rationale to resolve complicated claims. Accordingly, a systematic review is conducted to bridge this knowledge gap, identifying multiple UAV workabilities and feasibilities in claim resolution. A meta-analysis is applied to offer crucial statistics on claim value and length universally, clarifying UAV importance in minimizing corresponding financial losses and time. The systematic review outcomes revealed that UAVs could participate in supplying concise, rapid, massive, flexible, and high-resolution data to resolve claims. They can replace traditional physical inspection needed in particular situations, traveling to farthest sites, covering larger surface areas, collecting accurate data during snowy and rainy days or disasters, helping answer owner inquiries and unnecessary complaints, and resolving claims. Also, their feasibility is noted during snowy and rainy days or other situations where physical inspection is not possible, causing the postponement of meeting sessions, either in construction companies or courts, until proofs are provided. Their contribution is reflected in clarifying some gray data correlated with contract terms, delays, damages, site conditions, cost variations, rework, and misunderstandings. It is hoped that construction pro

This study investigates the ureolysis and microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) characteristics of Sporosarcina pasteurii and Lysinibacillus sphaericus under varying incubation and reaction conditions. A series of batch MICP experiments were conducted to assess the effects of incubation duration and pH, bacterial cell density, and reagent (i.e., urea and calcium ion) concentrations on ureolysis and CaCO3 precipitation characteristics. The findings indicate that both bacteria exhibit higher urease activity after 24 hours of incubation compared to 48 hours, regardless of incubation pH. S. pasteurii exhibits maximum specific urease activity at an alkaline pH (pH 9.0), whereas L. sphaericus reaches peak activity at a neutral pH (pH 7.2). Across six incubation conditions for each bacterium, S. pasteurii exhibits greater sensitivity in specific urease activity, while L. sphaericus maintains a more consistent ureolysis performance. In terms of cell density, a lower OD600 (~0.1) enhances specific urease activity and early-stage mineralization efficiency, whereas a higher OD600 (~1.0) accelerates overall CaCO3 precipitation, enhances terminal-stage mineralization efficiency, and promotes the prolonged presence of vaterite. High reagent concentrations (1.0 and 1.5 M) enhance specific urease activity and CaCO3 precipitation rates and lead to over 93% of vaterite formation, while low reagent concentration (0.3 M) favors calcite-dominant precipitation over time. These findings provide insights into evaluating and optimizing MICP performance under varying incubation and reaction conditions. © 2025, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Increasing evidence is showing that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) replacing compounds are not as safe as they were assumed. This study investigated the plant uptake of two most prevalent PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic (PFOS) and their replacing compounds, hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA or GenX) and 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonates (Cl-PFESAs) (6:2 Cl-PFAES) by hydroponically grown lettuce in the presence of different nitrogen fertilizers including ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4), potassium nitrate (KNO3), and urea in a growth chamber. Interestingly, (NH4)2SO4 significantly increased GenX uptake in lettuce shoots by ∼108% and KNO3 increased the uptake of PFOS and 6:2 Cl-PFAES by 267% and 395%, respectively, suggesting that the nitrogen fertilizer type has a marked impact on the plant uptake of PFAS and that this impact was PFAS-dependent. Our results also showed that (NH4)2SO4 generally resulted in higher PFAS root to shoot transfer than the other two types of nitrogen fertilizers. Metabolomic analysis revealed that amino acids, nucleotides, and antioxidants are the major metabolites that were either significantly increased or decreased in the lettuce shoots. These results showed that nitrogen fertilization management can have a significant impact on PFAS plant uptake and transport, and the impact depends on the types of nitrogen fertilizer and PFAS compounds. © 2025 The Authors.

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.

When confronted with unforeseen challenges, practicing informed decision making is crucial for enhancing resilience in the built environment. While scan-to-building information modeling (BIM) is a well-established approach for creating detailed digital representations of physical assets, its application in assessing and improving infrastructure resilience remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by proposing a novel application of scan-to-BIM, namely, scan-to-BIM-to-digital twin (S-BIM-DT) workflow. By integrating reality capture and digital twin technologies, this workflow creates continuously updated and accurate digital representations of physical assets, enabling the generation of various scenarios. Unlike traditional methods, the S-BIM-DT workflow facilitates continuous model refinement, supporting informed resilience strategies. By combining these technologies into a cohesive process, the workflow facilitates decision making under uncertainty, enabling stakeholders to evaluate and respond to various scenarios effectively. We demonstrate the implementation of the S-BIM-DT workflow through two use cases that highlight its capability to enhance resilience at different scales. The first use case involves the Combined Transportation, Emergency, and Communications Center (CTECC) in Austin, Texas. BIM-enriched computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling simulates airflow and develops alternative scenarios for optimizing the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This approach enhances resilience against airborne health threats in a postCOVID context. The second use case focuses on designated areas within Beaumont, Texas, as part of the Southeast Texas Urban Integrated Field Laboratory (SETx-UIFL) research. By developing inundation maps to assess extreme weather events, this modeling aids in preparedness efforts and informs the development of climate-resilient infrastructure in vulnerable neighborhoods.

Nucleation effects of coccoliths in portland cement

作者： Beatty, Danielle N. Srubar, Wil V. Materials Science and Engineering Program University of Colorado Boulder 4001 Discovery Drive UCB 027 BoulderCO80303 United States Department of Civil Environmental and Architectural Engineering University of Colorado Boulder 1111 Engineering Drive ECOT 441 UCB 428 BoulderCO80309 United States

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.
