Construction Payment Automation Through Scan-to-BIM and Blockchain-Enabled Smart Contract by Hamdy Elsharkawi, Emad Elbeltagi, Mohamed S. Eid, Wael Alattyih, Hossam Wefki

“…The actual site scan was captured using a photogrammetry 360° camera, which uses a combination of structured light and infrared depth sensing technology to capture 3D data and create detailed 3D models of spaces. This study leveraged accurate, real-time building progress data to automate payments using blockchain-enabled smart contracts upon work completion, thus reducing payment disputes by tying payments to verifiable construction progress, leading to faster release of payments. …”

Evaluation of Coal Pore Connectivity Using N2 Sorption Isotherm and Spontaneous Imbibition Tests by Tong-qiang Xia, Jiao-fei He, Shi-xing Fan, Qiang-qiang Zhang, Zi-long Li, Dun-shuai Sun

“…Pore structure and connectivity of coal are critical factors in coal gas migration and production, which can be characterized by studying the kinetics of capillary imbibition behaviour within the pore spaces. In order to investigate them, six typical coal samples from different collieries in China (Yangcun, Changcun, Gengcun, Yanbei, Dongxia, and Yuwu coal) are selected to carry out N2 sorption isotherm and spontaneous imbibition tests. …”

Rearing in a Physically Enriched Environment Affects Shoaling and Stress Responses of Zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>) Exposed to Novel Conditions by Valentina Gazzano, Martina Di Filippo, Rosario Licitra, Asahi Ogi, Baldassare Fronte, Maria Claudia Curadi, Angelo Gazzano

“…Both groups reduced interindividual distance in the second phase of the test (CTRL: t = 8.977, <i>p</i> ≤ 0.0001; TRT: t = 8.247, <i>p</i> ≤ 0.0001), though TRT fish maintained greater spacing (t = 2.292, <i>p</i> ≤ 0.05). TRT fish spent more time without contact during both phases (first: t = 2.645, <i>p</i> ≤ 0.05; second: t = 3.134, <i>p</i> ≤ 0.01), while CTRL fish reduced this time in the second phase (t = 2.991, <i>p</i> ≤ 0.05). …”
