Study on Model and Tests of Sheet Pile Wall with a Relieving Platform by Ming Zhang, Wei Wang, Ronghua Hu, Ziyi Wang

“…Moreover, the prepile resistance force can be approximated by the m method, and the bending moment can be also used for approximate calculation by the m method and is larger than the results calculated by the finite difference method. It is also observed that there is a zero-displacement point on the pile bottom, and the Earth pressure above the point behind the pile develops from Earth pressure at rest to the active Earth pressure; the Earth pressure under the point behind the pile develops from Earth pressure at rest to the passive Earth pressure. …”

Unexpected scarcity of ANME archaea in hydrocarbon seeps within Monterey Bay by A. C. Semler, A. E. Dekas

“…Many aspects of these seeps were typical of seeps worldwide, including elevated methane and sulfide concentrations, <span class="inline-formula">¹³</span>C-depleted dissolved inorganic carbon, and the presence of characteristic macrofauna. However, we observed atypical microbial communities: extremely few ANME sequences were detected in either 16S rRNA or <i>mcrA</i> gene surveys at Clam Field (<span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> 0.1 % of total community reads), even after 6 months of incubation with methane in the laboratory, and only slightly more ANME sequences were recovered from Extrovert Cliff (<span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> 0.3 % of total community reads). …”

Application of International Telecommunication Union Recommendation L.1480 on measuring the greenhouse gas emission effects to a use case for photovoltaic power generation equipmen... by François Bélorgey, Jérôme Fournier, Nathalie Labidurie Omnes

“…The study quantifies this use by accounting all greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions consequences (incl. installation, operation and maintenance) over the duration of the action (i.e. the supply and operation of the photovoltaic panels, inverter and associated services), through the construction of a consequence tree and the effective observation of usage behaviors; it thus avoids pushing potentially negative effects outside the scope of the study, like rebound effects (ex.: increase of 10% in electricity consumption after photovoltaic panels commissioning) or the consequences of the use of financial gains (or losses). …”
