Purpose of Review: Future electricity grids will be characterized by the high penetration of renewables to support the decarbonization process. Yet, this transition will further expose grids to a broad spectrum of geophysical forces, such as weather and climate or the availability of land and minerals. Here, we synthesize the current body of knowledge on the relationship between geophysical constraints and electricity grid planning. Recent Findings: We show that there have been promising advances in the data, methods, and modelling tools needed to incorporate the effect of geophysical constraints on demand, resource availability, and grid operations. However, current research efforts are typically focused on the effect of a single constraint, thereby lacking a broader view of the problem. Summary: More system-specific and finer-scale analyses are necessary to better understand how spatio-temporal variability in geophysical forces affects grid planning. Moreover, we need a broader focus on the multi-sectoral implications of decarbonization efforts, including the societal consequences of grid management decisions. Importantly, all these efforts are challenged by the computational requirements of existing power system models, which often limit our ability to characterize uncertainty and scale analyses across larger domains. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

The emerging field of porous piezoelectric strain sensors attracted a wide range of applications in healthcare monitoring, wearable electronics, and other dynamic applications due to their durability, high sensitivity, and real-time monitoring. This study presents the development of porous poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)/copper oxide (CuO) nanocomposite membranes for piezoelectric strain sensing. The morphology and the dispersion of CuO nanoparticles and nanofibers in PVDF piezoelectric films with different nano-CuO contents are studied by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, scanning electron microscopy and dielectric studies. The PVDF-HFP acts as a scaffold, allowing ions to flow within the porous percolated channels, resulting in a highly robust membrane with desired dielectric properties. The DMA studies enhanced the strain sensing performance of the 3.5 and 7 wt.% CuO nanofibers loaded with PVDF-HFP membranes compared with the 3.5 and 7 wt.% CuO nanoparticles and pristine membranes. The dielectric properties of the composites also showed high storage values for the CuO/PVDF-HFP samples compared to the pristine polymer. Moreover, the surface water contact angles of the membranes have slightly increased after loading the nanomaterial into the PVDF-HFP matrix, which strongly influenced the surface energies, indicating hydrophobicity. The current study, thus, demonstrates the piezoelectric strain sensing devices made from PVDF-HFP/CuO nanofibers for humid atmospheres. © The Author(s) 2025.

Human-induced climate change has altered the frequency and severity of heavy precipitation, droughts, and floods worldwide. Sri Lanka, a developing country in the Indian Ocean, has suffered frequent floods, affecting over 64 % of the population in the past decade. The Gin River, the primary drinking water source of the densely populated Galle district with over 1 million residents, faces recurrent flood disasters. Therefore, this study employed a multi-model ensemble to simultaneously simulate the impact of climate change on both river flow and inundation extent in the frequently flooded Gin River basin located in humid tropical monsoon region. Bias-corrected climate projections of an ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 emission scenario were used to project future river flow and flood inundation in the Gin River basin, Sri Lanka. The validated Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model projected a 5 % increase in high flows (flows exceeding a 5 % probability of exceedance ( Copyright © 2024 Jayapadma Mudalige Miyuru Uthpala Jayapadma et al.

environmental Nanotechnology, Monitoring and Management 2024年 21卷

Microorganisms have historically coexisted with humans, animals, and the environment in a natural way. Like any other living being, microorganisms are subjected to environmental pressures that can eventually extinguish or strengthen their existence. In recent years, the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) has raised an alert about their influence on human and animal health. In addition to ARBs found in nosocomial environments, recent studies point to the environment as an auxiliary hotspot for the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In this sense, this review covers research that investigated ARB and ARG in E. coli and Salmonella, occurrence and potential environmental reservoirs for the spread of antimicrobial resistance, as well as a discussion on how bacterial resistance affects public health, the detection and treatment methods currently employed to reduce or remove this pollutant from water treatment plants (WTP) and sewage treatment plants (WWTP). The results indicated that the great increase in bacterial resistance may be linked, among other reasons, to repetitive contact with residual concentrations of antibiotics present in the environment, causing the bacteria to suffer from selective pressure and if resistant to one or more antibiotics. Thus, public health is compromised, since commonly used antibiotics are often ineffective in treating disease-resistant pathogenic bacteria. From this perspective, studies have shown the importance of consistent detection methods, which allow the tracking and analysis of sources of antimicrobial resistance on a global scale, in addition to the need to improve advanced treatment to reduce the ARG and ARB of WTPs and WWTPs. The first two sections of this review article present an overview of the problems related to the occurrence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria, with a focus on E. coli and Salmonella, identified by the WHO as bacteria of globa

This study investigates the impact of kinetic air-water partitioning on the transport of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) within homogeneous and heterogeneous sandy vadose zones under transient unsaturated flow conditions. These experimental conditions are realistic for field behavior, where transient flow foments the continual growth and collapse of air-water interfaces (AWIs), and where layered heterogenous conditions enhance the perturbations of AWIs. Short-chain PFAS behave like conservative tracers with negligible air-water interface partitioning, whereas longer-chain PFAS demonstrate non-equilibrium retention behavior, especially in heterogeneous media. AWI partitioning kinetics were found to be important in controlling PFAS transport and mass flux, particularly during PFAS sorption to the air-water interface, which results because of the different nature and more rapid changes in AWI during drainage, wherein PFAS are moving toward the interface to achieve equilibrium, than during imbibition, where PFAS are leaving the interface to achieve equilibrium. Neglecting these kinetic AWI sorption processes can result in an underestimate of the PFAS transport velocities and mass flux reaching the water table. The presence of trapped air may also inhibit PFAS partitioning in a similar manner by causing longer diffusion paths from bulk water to a portion of the AWIs. The modified HYDRUS effectively captured the transport processes and provided an excellent match to the measured breakthrough curves. To assess relevance using realistic transient infiltration rates, simulations were conducted using precipitation data from an actual site. The results showed that accounting for kinetic AWI partitioning increases the cumulative PFOS mass flux to groundwater by a factor of 2.3 compared to equilibrium conditions, significantly impacting PFAS porewater concentrations. This difference was threefold under experimental conditions, suggesting that the importance of kinetic effects m

Plastic-based goods are commonly used in daily life, but their waste poses significant environmental challenges due to its durability. This study investigates the use of recycled plastic as an artificial coarse aggregate in asphalt mixtures, specifically assessing the effects of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) on Hot Rolled Sheet Wearing Course (HRS-WC) mixtures. The objectives are to evaluate the physical properties of the artificial coarse aggregates, identify the optimal asphalt content and Marshall characteristics, and determine the maximum feasible substitution level for these aggregates. A test specimen (briquette) was produced for the Marshall test to assess the mixture properties. Our findings indicate that the maximum allowable substitution of HDPE plastic in HRS-WC mixtures is 42%. With an optimal asphalt content of 7.30%, HDPE substitution levels of 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, and 50% yielded the highest stability at 45% (1176.696 kg), the highest VMA at 30% (21.250%), and the highest VIM within specifications at 30% (4.998%). The highest VFB value was observed at 45% (88.767%), while the highest Marshall Quotient was at 30% (364.527 kg/mm). The study recommends a maximum HDPE plastic waste substitution level of 40%, highlighting the potential for using HDPE plastic waste in asphalt mixtures to promote more sustainable construction practices. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.

The sustainability of partial and total replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement: A deep dive into different concrete mixtures through life cycle assessment

Journal of Building engineering 2025年 108卷

The construction sector significantly impacts environmental sustainability, with cement production being a major source of carbon emissions. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) manufacturing is highly energy-intensive due to limestone calcination and fossil fuel consumption. To mitigate these environmental effects, this study evaluates the sustainability of literature based alternative concrete mixtures through a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), considering both partial and total cement replacement strategies. The study examines OPC blended with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) such as fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), metakaolin (MK), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), as well as geopolymer concrete as a complete substitute for OPC. Findings indicate that SCMs significantly reduce the environmental footprint of OPC concrete, with GGBS-blended OPC achieving the highest CO2 reduction (28.7 %), followed by SF (28.3 %), FA (17.25 %), and MK (15.1 %). Geopolymer concrete demonstrated an even greater CO2 reduction, with FA-based and GGBS-based geopolymers reducing emissions by 67 % and 54 %, respectively. However, geopolymers showed higher environmental impacts in categories such as fossil depletion, human toxicity, and ozone depletion, mainly due to the production of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. Notably, MK-based geopolymer concrete exhibited the highest overall environmental burden, performing worse than OPC concrete in all impact categories. The results highlight that the optimal choice of concrete depends on specific environmental goals. SCM-blended OPC presents a feasible and effective solution for lowering CO2 emissions, while geopolymer concrete offers a more sustainable alternative if challenges related to chemical activators are addressed. This study underscores the importance of optimizing raw material sourcing, production processes, and transportation logistics to enhance the sustainability of concrete in real-world applications. © 2025

In this study, we demonstrate that treating milk using a continuous liquid-phase plasma (CLPD) based process is an effective solution. The effect of different system power (180 W-320 W) and flow rate (30 ml/min-70 ml/min) on the inactivation of Shiga-toxin Producing E. coli (STEC) enriched in pasteurized milk was evaluated. Pasteurized milk without STEC enrichment served as a parallel control. Experiments have shown that CLPD-treated milk exhibits a significant reduction in colony-forming units (CFU) of STEC under majority of treatment conditions based on the two significant operational factors. It has been proven that system power and liquid flow rate significantly impact continuous microbial inactivation in milk. A lower flow rate (30ml/min) and higher system power (300w) result in a notable CFU reduction (6.3 logs), while the higher flow rates with lower system power led to milder changes in STEC reduction in milk. Under strong treatment conditions, the STEC inactivation effect was consistent with low variation. Evaluation of the physicochemical properties of CLPD treated milk revealed lower resultant temperatures compared to conventional pasteurization methods. Scanning Emission Microscopy (SEM) imaging has revealed significant cell disruption of STEC by CLPD processing. These findings offer practical insights into cold plasma treatment of milk, suggesting it as a potential alternative to conventional pasteurization methods. © 2024 ASABE Annual International Meeting.

The impact of bottom water light exposure on electrical and sediment remediation performance of sediment microbial fuel cells

Chemosphere 2024年 362卷 142720页

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) generate bioelectricity from benthic sediments and thus providing both bioelectricity generation and sediment remediation. However, the high internal resistance of the cathode leads to a low power output, which requires research on cathode treatment. In this study, we explored the influence of light irradiation on bioelectricity production and nutrient removal in the SMFC system. The microcosm experiment of the SMFC system was designed with artificial illumination of 500 lux (light-SMFC) and compared with dark conditions of 15 lux (dark-SMFC), which showed that the current increases during photoperiods. The study reveals that light-illuminated SMFC consistently produced the highest voltage, with the highest voltage (553 mV) being 1.3 times higher than the dark-SMFC (440 mV). The polarization curves show a significant reduction in internal cathodic resistance under light condition, resulting in increased voltage generation. The light-SMFC exhibits the highest maximum power density of 35.93 mW/m2, surpassing the dark SMFC of 31.13 mW/m2. It was found that light illumination in the SMFC system increases oxygen availability in the cathodic region, which supports the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process. At the same time, the high bioelectricity output contributes to the highest sediment remediation by greatly reducing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phosphate (PO4–P) concentrations. The study highlights the potential of light illumination in mitigating cathodic limitation to improve SMFC performance and nutrient removal. © 2024
