How did ancient human activities influence the properties and development of soil?—a case study of the Yangshao Village cultural relic site, Henan Province by Zha, Lisi, Wang, Wenjing, Zhong, Junhong, Su, Yiqi, Chang, Dandan

“…It was assumed that the ground was used to cover the grain or bury the garbage and lay with clay in order to achieve the effect of sealing. As a result, the soil voids and structure had been damaged to some extent, which prevented the downward leaching or precipitation of soil particles and minerals to a certain extent, thus affecting soil development.…”

Thermally induced phase separation PVDF membrane fabricated by using NaCl coagulation bath: relation of membrane surface morphology and permeation performance by Chen, Ningyuan, Zhao, Jie, Shi, Lei, Goto, Atsushi, Wang, Rong

“…The inclusion of NaCl in the coagulation bath serves to decrease the solubility of PEG within this medium, owing to the salting-out effect. Consequently, the NaCl concentration in the coagulation bath emerges as a crucial factor in regulating the migration of PEG400 toward the membrane surface. …”

A quantitative, high-throughput urease activity assay for comparison and rapid screening of ureolytic bacteria by Cui, Ming-Juan, Teng, Aloysius, Chu, Jian, Cao, Bin

“…The microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) process mediated by urease-producing bacteria (UPB) can be used for many applications including, environmental bioremediation, soil improvement, healing of cracks in concrete, and sealing of rock joints. Despite the importance of urease and UPB in various applications, a quantitative, high-throughput assay for the comparison of urease activity in UPB and rapid screening of UPB from diverse environments is lacking. …”

Correlation between GNSS-TEC and eruption magnitude supports the use of ionospheric sensing to complement volcanic hazard assessment by Manta, Fabio, Occhipinti, Giovanni, Hill, Emma M., Perttu, Anna, Assink, Jelle, Taisne, Benoit

“…Moderate correlation between IVPI and peak ground velocity (PGV) requires further study in order to evaluate the role of different parameters (seismic magnitude, attenuation, style of faulting, crustal structure, etc.). Our results suggest that ionospheric monitoring by GNSS TEC can help to characterize volcanic eruptions, opening new exciting avenues for continuous volcano monitoring and warning systems by remote sensing.…”
