Rethinking methane from animal agriculture by Shule Liu, Joe Proudman, Frank M. Mitloehner

“…Conclusions GWP* should be used in combination with GWP to provide feasible strategies on fighting climate change induced by short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). By continuously improving production efficiency and management practices, animal agriculture can be a short-term solution to fight climate warming that the global community can leverage while developing long-term solutions for fossil fuel carbon emissions.…”

Study on scour simulation and boundary condition conversion technology for a shallow foundation bridge by Gangping Fan, Huanzhe Li, Tianzhuo Wang, Jian Che, Xing Li, Chunyang Dou, Tong Wu

“…To prevent and mitigate scouring risks, this paper investigates the riverbed scouring characteristics of shallow foundation bridges under different hydrological conditions.The study found that under high water levels and flow velocities, scour depth significantly increased.Under extreme hydrological conditions, a horseshoe vortex forms at the base of the front end of the bridge pier, causing scour pits on both sides of the upstream face of the foundation, which is the main cause of foundation voids that first appear at 2580 s with a maximum scour depth of -2.51 m and a void area of 0.5%, continuing to increase over time.Based on simulated scouring data, this study proposes a method for converting boundary conditions from a scouring model to a mechanical model. …”

Shaking Table Test on the Seismic Response of Buried Oil and Gas Pipelines under the Bidirectional Nonuniform Seismic Excitation by Jianbo Dai, Chengtao Hu, Li Wang, Guidi Zhang

“…The test proves to show that the developed bidirectional laminar shear continuum model soil box can meet the requirements of the bidirectional nonuniform seismic excitation and continuous laminar shear deformation of the soil. The peak strains of the pipeline in axial and bending caused by nonuniform excitation are larger than those of the pipeline under uniform excitation, the degree of unevenness in the distribution along the axial direction is greater, and the strain curves are large in the middle and small at both ends along the axial direction of the pipe. …”
