To quantitatively assess the risks associated with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology, a better understanding of the dispersion characteristics of CO released from a high-pressure pipeline is necessary. The dispersion process is complicated as CO is denser than air, and the Joule-Thomson effect causes sharp drop of the temperature. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique was used to investigate the CO dispersion. The CFD model is validated by simulating a full-size blasting test. The influence of topography and low temperature at the release source on the dispersion of CO released from buried CO pipelines over complex terrain types was studied. This study provides a viable method for the assessment of the risks associated with CCS.

The work aims to estimate natural greenhouse gas emissions from soils in the Sibari Coastal Plain (Southern Italy), to understand (i) the contribution in terms of the total amount of CO and CH emitted in non-volcanic areas, (ii) the relationship among emitted gas, land use, organic matter and tectonic structures, and (iii) their potential environmental implications. Data were elaborated with statistical and geostatistical methods to separate the different populations and obtain prediction and probability maps. Methane fluxes had values consistently below the detection limit (0.

Large-scale rock burst disasters often occur in high-stress and deep-buried tunnels, due to challenges in accurate forecasting and the lack of clarity regarding the underlying mechanisms largely. This study combined on-site stress drilling tests, coupled finite and discrete element simulations, and theoretical calculations to examine unloading damage, rockburst evolution, and deformation failure of the high-stress and deep-buried Xuefengshan No.1 tunnel.

Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) technology has begun to be adopted for drinking water pipe repairs, and limited information exists about its drinking water quality impacts. CIPP involves the manufacture of a new plastic pipe inside a buried damaged pipe. In this study, the chemical composition of the raw materials and CIPP water quality impacts were examined.

The existing calculation method for the surrounding rock pressure of shallow buried bias tunnel fails to account for the impact of the progressive failure characteristics of the surrounding rock and slope creep, thereby neglecting the additional pressure arising from slope creep. Therefore, the progressive instability failure mode of the surrounding rock of shallow buried bias tunnel was obtained by numerical simulation. Based on this, the theoretical analysis model of the additional pressure of shallow buried bias tunnel was established, and the calculation formula of the additional pressure was derived.

Most angiosperm plants recognise the 22-residue flagellin (flg22) epitope in bacterial flagellin via homologs of cell surface receptor FLS2 (flagellin sensitive-2) and mount pattern-triggered immune responses. However, flg22 is buried within the flagellin protein indicating that proteases might be required for flg22 release. Here, we demonstrate the extracellular subtilase SBT5.
