Corrosion in buried concrete sewer pipelines remains a critical challenge for infrastructure sustainability, driven by the complex interplay of environmental, material, operational, pipe-related, and physical factors with ...

Modeling the spatial variability and uncertainty of soil fertility parameters is crucial for sustainable agriculture but remains a challenge due to complex interactions between soil properties. Traditional models often ...

The engineering properties of the underlying soil govern the durability and performance of civil engineering infrastructures. Chemical stabilization using lime is adopted widely to treat problematic clayey soils that do ...

Existing cementitious composites often undergo severe degradation when exposed to high temperatures. The present study proposes utilization of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) and steel slag (SS) aggregates to address this issue. ...

Supplementary cementitious materials are crucial to reduce costs and carbon footprint, as traditional cement production emits greenhouse gases. This study explores using copper tailings and marble dust as substitutes for ...

This work offers an ultra-sensitive multilayered surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensor that uses angular interrogation in the near-infrared (NIR) region to detect the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The multi-layered ...

Developing an affordable and efficient electrocatalyst for bifunctional activity is crucial for the advancement of water electrolysis technology. Doping with foreign atoms in electrocatalysts can tune the electronic ...

This paper is focused on simple fabrication of robust and reproducible SERS active substrate through self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNps) entrapped in the Langmuir Blodgett (LB) film of MoS2 flakes. The as prepared ...

Developing a ‘greener’ avenue for organic synthesis is a key challenge, which must focus on energy efficiency as well as sustainability. Harnessing solar energy to chemical energy is an efficient way to utilize renewable ...

End-to-end linked nanorod dimer nanogap antennas exhibit superior plasmonic enhancement compared to monomers due to the coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) of individual nanorods. However, controlling ...
