A Study on the Effect of Ladle Structures and Stirrer Positions on the Internal Flow Field in the Hot Metal Desulfurization Process by Lifei Wang, Qingchun Yu, Shubiao Yin, Guozhi Wang, Songlai Zhang

“…During eccentric stirring, the flow-field distribution was uneven, and the polarization of the stirrer was observed in the water model, whereas central stirring revealed a more uniform and stable flow field, reducing the risk of paddle wear and ladle wall erosion. Central stirring exhibits distinct advantages in the desulfurization process, whereas eccentric stirring is exclusively applicable to metallurgical modes requiring a rapid enhancement of bottom flow and localized rapid dispersion of desulfurizing agents.…”

Study on the Influence of Seepage Conditions with Different Rainfall Intensities on the Structural Evolution of Soil-Rock Mixture Filler by Yueyue Wang, Xuesong Mao, Qian Wu, Zeyu Dai

“…With the same rainfall condition, the maximum hourly water permeability under short-term heavy rainfall condition is about three times that under heavy rainfall condition, which is more serious for the internal erosion of SRM filler. The total water permeability mass, fine particle loss, and real-time sedimentation increased with the rainfall intensity. …”

The projected exposure and response of a natural barrier island system to climate-driven coastal hazards by Jennifer A. Thomas, Patrick L. Barnard, Sean Vitousek, Li H. Erikson, Kai Parker, Kees Nederhoff, Kevin M. Befus, Manoochehr Shirzaei

“…Abstract Accelerating sea level rise (SLR) and changing storm patterns will increasingly expose barrier islands to coastal hazards, including flooding, erosion, and rising groundwater tables. We assess the exposure of Cape Lookout National Seashore, a barrier island system in North Carolina (USA), to projected SLR and storm hazards over the twenty-first century. …”

Soil and Water Conservation Nexus Agricultural Productivity in Ethiopia by Wudu Abiye

“…The plant canopies, litter, and mulching intercept rain by decreasing the amount, intensity, and spatial distribution of the precipitation reaching the soil surface, protecting the soil surface from the direct impact of raindrops that can cause splash and sheet erosion. In soil and water conservation, this practice is higher than others because crops and leguminous woody perennials improve and enrich soil conditions through atmospheric nitrogen fixation, organic matter through litterfall and dead and decaying roots, nutrient cycles, modification of soil porosity, and contribution to infiltration rates. …”

External Cervical Resorption Detected by Cone Beam Computed Tomography on an Immature, Unerupted Maxillary Second Premolar by Karen Berrigan, Bradly Gettleman, Sabita Rao, Janet Jordan, Mark Stieg, Lawrence Johns

“…Root resorption is a commonly recognized risk of orthodontic treatment and can range from minimal changes at the apex to aggressive and extensive erosion of tooth structure. The following report is aimed at presenting a rare case of idiopathic aggressive preeruptive root resorption in a maxillary second premolar of a young child prior to orthodontic force. …”

Environmental Radionuclides in Surface Soils of Vietnam by P.D. Hien, H.T. Hiep, N.H. Quang, T.V. Luyen, N.T. Binh, N.T. Ngo, N. Q. Long, V. T. Bac

“…A database on 238U, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs in surface soils was established to provide inputs for the assessment of the collective dose to the population of Vietnam and to support soil erosion studies using 137Cs as a tracer. A total of 292 soil samples was taken from undisturbed sites across the territory and the concentrations of radionuclides were determined by gamma spectrometry method. …”

The impact of temporary occupation and hostilities on the water conditions of the North Crimean and Kakhovka Main Canals by K. Borovyk, S. Gapon, I. Pyshnograiev

“…In 2023, the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam led to the shallowing of the Kakhovka Reservoir and changes in the hydrological regime of the canals, reducing the length of canals with water in the Kherson Region to 448.41 km, and in 2024 to 298.98 km. These events caused erosion and lowering of groundwater levels, negatively affecting agriculture due to reduced irrigated areas…”
