In recent years, the production of tight reservoirs with waterflooding in China has entered a progressively declining phase with unstable oil rate and higher water cut, rising challenges to any further enhancement of oil recovery. Targeting the high...

Prestressed flexible support systems have become essential in deep excavation engineering, with the load distributive compression anchor (LDCA) widely adopted to enhance load-bearing performance through effective load dispersion among multiple anchor...

Buried pipelines represent critical lifeline infrastructure whose seismic performance is governed by complex soil–structure interaction mechanisms. In this study, a process-based numerical framework is developed to evaluate the pseudo-static se...

Agro-industrial chestnut waste derived from chestnut processing is usually discharged without further use. However, these residues are attractive due to their high-value composition, rich in sugars and lignin. Among these residues, chestnut burrs (CB...

The long-term stability of deep underground excavations near aquifer-bearing strata is primarily controlled by the time-dependent deformation and permeability changes in the surrounding rock mass under the combined effects of mechanical loading and g...

This review addresses the potential of low-cost adsorbents (LCAds) derived from agro-industrial and marine residues as sustainable alternatives for water purification. Although raw biomass offers economic advantages, its application is often limited...

Zn-based ternary deep eutectic solvents (TDESs) have attracted significant attention due to their good biodegradability, stability, and sustainability. In this work, TDESs composed of choline chloride:urea (ChCl:U) and zinc salts, ZnCl2, Zn(CH3COO)2,...

Fast pyrolysis of vegetable oils and residues generates bio-oil (BO), a renewable hydrocarbon source with high acidity that limits its direct use in refineries. In this study, BOs were produced from refined soybean oil (RSO) and waste cooking oil (WC...

Aiming to improve the currently low accuracy of fault diagnosis due to the difficulty of extracting the non-stationary and nonlinear features of rolling bearing fault signals, a multi-condition fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings was proposed...

Visual inspection is a crucial quality assurance process across many manufacturing industries. While many companies now employ machine learning-based systems, they face a significant challenge, particularly in safety-critical domains. The outcomes of...
