Iron- and calcium-based biogrouts for porous soils by Chu, Jian, Ivanov, Volodymyr, Stabnikov, Viktor

“…Therefore, suitable geotechnical applications of the calcium-based and iron-based biogrouts at a precipitated metal content of 1·5% w/w or less would be mainly the bioclogging of porous soils for the sealing of aquaculture or wastewater treatment ponds and landfill sites, and for plugging of the piping in dams and retaining walls in sandy soil.…”

GPS imaging of vertical bedrock displacements : quantification of two-dimensional vertical crustal deformation in China by Pan, Yuanjin, Hammond, William C., Ding, Hao, Mallick, Rishav, Jiang, Weiping, Xu, Xinyu, Shum, C. K., Shen, Wenbin

“…Furthermore, we use the GRACE/GFO products to account for elastic deformation due to surface mass changes to isolate tectonic deformation signals at GPS sites within mainland China from 2002 to 2019. By integrating GPS and GRACE/GFO measurements, our results reveal the long-term spatial patterns of vertical tectonic motion in different blocks in mainland China. …”

Hierarchical NiCo-LDH core/shell homostructural electrodes with MOF-derived shell for electrochemical energy storage by Zheng, Kun, Liao, Leiping, Zhang, Yu, Tan, Hua, Liu, Jingquan, Li, Chenwei, Jia, Dedong

“…Such novel hierarchical structure provides a large accessible surface area and more exposed electrochemical active sites. The in-situ growth and conversion process contribute to the formation of robust adhesion between the core and the shell, which could facilitate the effective charge and ion diffusion, as well as improve the mechanical stability. …”

A theory of zeugma by Yeo, Jia Qi

“…I then identify basic structures for the three subtypes of nominal, verbal and adjectival zeugma, and consolidate several disparate concepts previously mentioned in relation to zeugma, including homonymy, regular and irregular polysemy, and Segmented Discourse Representation Theory. I also consider the siting of elegant zeugma within its surrounding written discourse as a crucial complement to the usual approach of analysing word relations within the utterance. …”
