This study investigates the combined effect of microplastics and cadmium on the decomposition of litter, the structure of fungal communities, and the feeding behavior of invertebrates in an aquatic ecosystem. Through a series of microcosm experiments...

As critical equipment in nuclear power systems, the stability of circulating water pumps (CWP) directly impacts the efficiency of power plants. To investigate the impact mechanisms of the unsteady flow characteristics and flow-induced forces on the r...

Biofoam formation in wastewater treatment is a challenge globally. Previously, we successfully proposed the use of biodefoamers instead of synthetic defoamers for environmental protection. In this study, we report on biodefoamation modeling using act...

Coal mining activity contributes to energy security and employment occupation, but is associated with environmental deterioration. Coal combustion leads to GHG emissions, while coal mining results in the generation of saline effluents. These effluent...

Dams are regarded as crucial pieces of structure that store water for irrigation and municipal uses. Given their vital role, the dam’s water quality assessment is considered to be an important criterion and requires constant monitoring. In this...

Against the backdrop of increasingly severe global climate change, the risk of rainstorm-induced waterlogging has become the primary threat to the safety of historic and cultural districts worldwide. This paper focuses on the historic and cultural di...

The extraction and utilization of sugars from readily available and cost-effective sewage sludge increases the economic potential of this residue, contributing to sustainable urban development. The work presented here presents a novel method in which...

Deformation, as the most intuitive index, can reflect the operation status of hydraulic structures comprehensively, and reasonable analysis of deformation behavior has important guiding significance for structural long-term service. Currently, the he...

We used stable water isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) to identify the fractions of glacier meltwater and summer precipitation in the runoff in the Taldura River in the Altai mountains. The mean isotopic characteristics of glacier ice, snow, summer...

Robust and accurate flood hazard maps are essential for early warning systems and flood risk management. Although physically based models are effective in estimating pluvial flooding, the computational burden makes them difficult to use for real-time...
