Severe Convective Weather in the Central and Eastern United States: Present and Future by Changhai Liu, Kyoko Ikeda, Roy Rasmussen

“…However, our knowledge of the spatiotemporal climatology and variability of SCW occurrence is still lacking, and the potential change in SCW frequency and intensity in response to anthropogenic climate warming is highly uncertain due to deficient and sparse historical records and the global and regional climate model’s inability to resolve thunderstorms. This study investigates SCW in the Central and Eastern United States in spring and early summer for the current and future warmed climate using two multi-year continental-scale convection-permitting Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations. …”

Tensile Performance of SHCC Road-Bridge Link Slabs in Fully Jointless Bridges by Xuefang Zhan, Kaile Liu, Yi-Bin Zhao, Hengli Yan

“…The conventional fully jointless bridge has been challenged by durability and reliability issues because the CRCP is vulnerable to crack and hard to control the crack width when it suffers temperature variation. In this paper, a new type of fully jointless bridge with the road-bridge link slabs using strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) material is investigated. …”

The effects of perfluoroalkyl substance pollution on microbial community and key metabolic pathways in the Pearl River Estuary by Wei Lin, Junlin Zhao, Xingqi Wu, Jiakun Jiang, Chunyang Zhou, Jiating Zheng, Cheng Zhang, Ying Guo, Li Wang, How Yong Ng, Song Li, Shengrui Wang

“…Furthermore, PFAS concentrations significantly affected microbial carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling, predominantly through indirect alterations in characteristic genus composition. Importantly, noteworthy variations in impacts were observed between perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluorinated sulfonic acids (PFSAs), which might contingent upon C–F bond dissociation energies. …”

Environmental preferences of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) for egg-laying on a fringing reef pocket beach, Mayotte Island by Sophie Morisseau, Sophie Morisseau, Matthieu Jeanson, Matthieu Jeanson, Sarah Charroux, Sarah Charroux, Yann Mercky, Charles Le Bozec, Michel Charpentier, Lucas Le Gall, Cyrielle Delvenne, Marc Girondot, Elliott Sucré, Elliott Sucré, Damien Chevallier

“…This preference seems to be linked more to elevation, where black sand is mainly found at the top of the beach, rather than an intentional choice based on sand composition. No significant egg-laying site-related variables were found to explain the variations in nest depth. …”
