Stablilization of Clay with Fly Ash and GGBS Based Geopolymer: Influence on Strength, Consolidation, and Shrinkage Characteristics

This study demonstrates that fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) based geopolymers serve as effective, lower-carbon alternatives to ordinary Portland cement for stabilizing Madurai clay, with 35% fly ash and 45% GGBS mixtures significantly enhancing unconfined compressive strength, reducing compressibility, and minimizing volumetric shrinkage.

From regional to global: a typhoon-aware adaptive graph transformer for cross-basin tropical cyclone-induced storm surge forecasting

This paper introduces ST-GNNFormer SurgeCast, a globally adaptive graph transformer framework that successfully unifies tropical cyclone-induced storm surge forecasting across all ocean basins into a single model, demonstrating robust generalization in data-sparse regions and achieving high predictive accuracy on both reanalysis and independent in-situ observational data.

Comparative Evaluation of Shallow and Deep Foundation Design in Variable Cohesionless-Cohesive Soil Strata: A Structural-Geotechnical Perspective

This paper presents an analytical comparison of shallow and deep foundation designs across variable soil strata, demonstrating that while isolated footings are cost-effective in dense sand, deep pile or mat foundations are essential in soft cohesive soils to significantly reduce settlement and prevent structural failure.

Breaking the Low-Resolution Limit: High-Temporal-Resolution Satellite Bias Estimation for Enhancing Multi-Frequency PPP Ambiguity Resolution

This paper addresses the limitations of fragmented, low-temporal-resolution bias correction in multi-frequency GNSS by developing a unified, high-temporal-resolution estimation framework for pseudorange and phase satellite biases, which significantly enhances the performance of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) ambiguity resolution.

Enabling Full-Multiport Optimal Power Flow in Smart-Transformer-Based Meshed Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids: An Algebraic Dual-Active-Bridge Model

This paper presents a novel algebraic dual-active-bridge model integrated into a mixed-integer second-order cone optimal power flow framework to accurately capture the three-stage architecture of smart transformers in hybrid AC/DC microgrids, revealing that the medium-voltage rectifier, rather than the dual-active-bridge, is the primary source of energy loss and that explicitly modeling the medium-voltage DC port significantly enhances storage utilization.

Numerical Investigation of the Thermo-structural Performance of an Automotive Ventilated Brake Disc Using a Proposed Al- Based Metal Matrix Composite

This study utilizes a refined finite element model in ANSYS to demonstrate that a proposed aluminum-based metal matrix composite significantly outperforms structural steel and gray cast iron in automotive ventilated brake discs by achieving lower operating temperatures and substantial weight reduction, despite exhibiting slightly higher deformation within acceptable limits.
