The generation of large amounts of solid waste has led to exploration of solid waste-modified expansive soils; however, the effect of a single solid waste-modified expansive soil is not ideal. This study proposes a composite modification of expansive soils using a PG-FA-L system. Statistical analysis showed that the properties of the cured soil were significantly improved. PG and FA increased soil strength after a certain threshold, and L increased it at all stages. The presence of PG accelerated the volcanic ash reaction. Both PG and FA have a small effect on the swelling of the soil, whereas lime improves it significantly, but has a negative effect after a certain threshold. The 28-day unconfined compressive strength and deformation characteristics were used to derive the relevant regions for roadbed fill requirements and determine the optimum dosage.

Ensemble habitat suitability model predicts Suaeda salsa distribution and resilience to extreme climate events.

Climate anomalies lead to an increased occurrence of extreme temperature and drought events in coastal wetlands, resulting in heightened survival pressure on salt marsh plants. It is imperative to anticipate the effects of these events on the habitat suitability and resilience of coastal salt marsh vegetation to inform restoration efforts and management strategies. Herein, an ensemble model was developed to evaluate the recovery of Suaeda Salsa in the two subsequent years following the anomalously high temperatures and decreased precipitation experienced during the summer of 2018, potentially leading to a decline in this species in the eastern coast of Liaohe Estuary wetland (Bohai Sea, China).

In this paper, the road performance and mechanism of cement-phosphogypsum-red clay (CPRC) under dry and wet cycling were systematically investigated using 5% cement as curing agent, the mass ratio of phosphogypsum: red clay = 1:1, and 5% SCA-2 as water stabilizer. The road performance of dry and wet cycle mix was verified with the National Highway G210 Duyun Yangan to Yingshan Highway Reconstruction and Expansion Project as a test road to provide a scientific basis for the application of cement-phosphogypsum-red clay on roads. The results show that the cement-phosphogypsum-red clay unconfined compressive strength decreases with the increase of the number of wet and dry cycles, with a larger decay in the first three times and leveling off thereafter.

Bone is a common and debilitating site for metastatic cancer cell expansion. Skeletal metastasis is a multistage process, with primary stages of circulating tumour cells, progressing to a dormant state in vasculature and bone marrow niches, followed by tumorigenic reactivation, proliferation, and finally bone destruction. The frequency of bone metastasis is reconciled in Paget's "seed and soil" hypothesis, where a conducive microenvironment (bone niche) is essential for cancer cell colonisation.

The study of dredged fill in Guangdong (GD), China, is of great significance for reclamation projects. Currently, there are relatively few studies on dredged fill in Guangdong, and there are many differences in the engineering characteristics of dredged fill foundations formed through land reclamation and natural foundations. In order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the physico-mechanical properties of blowing fill in the coastal area of GD and to understand the effect of its long-term creep row on the long-term settlement and deformation of buildings, the material properties, microstructure, elemental composition, triaxial shear properties, and triaxial creep properties of dredged fill in Guangdong were studied and analyzed through indoor geotechnical tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and conventional triaxial shear tests and triaxial creep tests.

This study investigates the utilization of titanium gypsum (TG) and construction waste soil (CWS) for the development of sustainable, cement-free Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM). TG, combined with ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, and quicklime, serves as the binder, while CWS replaces natural sand. Testing thirteen mixtures revealed that a CWS replacement rate of over 40% controls bleeding below 5%, with a water-to-solid ratio between 0.
