Shear Strength Enhancement and Optimum Dosage Prediction of Fly Ash–Stabilized Cohesive and Cohesionless Soils

This study demonstrates that incorporating 12% fly ash optimally enhances the shear strength of both cohesive and cohesionless soils through distinct mechanisms of densification and pozzolanic cementation, while a proposed quadratic regression model effectively predicts this optimum dosage for sustainable geotechnical applications.

Improving Reanalysis Hub-Height Wind Speeds and Wind Shear Across Large Spatial Domains Using Near-Surface Observational Networks

This study presents a machine learning framework that leverages near-surface observational networks to simultaneously correct ERA5 hub-height wind speeds and predict wind shear exponents, significantly improving accuracy and temporal variability across large spatial domains without requiring direct hub-height measurements.

A Systematic Review of Security Privacy and Provenance in EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interfaces with a Blockchain-Based Reference Architecture

This PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review of 729 records identifies critical security and privacy gaps in EEG-based BCI systems, particularly the near-total absence of blockchain-based provenance, and proposes a "NeuroChain" reference architecture to address these vulnerabilities through hash-anchored data integrity, differential privacy, and patient-controlled consent.

A fully coupled transient wellbore–fracture model for analyzing fracture stability during tripping out deep gas reservoirs

This study presents a fully coupled transient wellbore–fracture model validated by field data that reveals tripping speed as the dominant factor driving pressure drops and fracture closure in deep gas reservoirs, thereby providing a quantitative framework for optimizing drilling protocols to mitigate lost circulation risks.

Investigation into the material removal mechanism and surface integrity of Zr-based bulk metallic glass via rotary ultrasonic vibration grinding

This study demonstrates that rotary ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (RUVAG) significantly improves the surface integrity and reduces material removal defects of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses compared to conventional grinding by introducing intermittent contact that mitigates stress concentration and lowers surface roughness by approximately 21%.
