The use of brackish groundwater (BGW) to supplement irrigation shortfalls has increased because of decreasing surface water availability in the arid areas of the southern United States. Reuse of reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate, a by-product resulting from desalination of BGW, can increase the...

This book reviews the development of physics-based modeling and sensor-based data fusion for optimizing medical decision making in connection with spatiotemporal cardiovascular disease processes. To improve cardiac care services and patients’ quality of life, it is very important to detect...

Rechargeable aqueous Zn-metal batteries (ZMBs) have attracted widespread attention due to their safety, high rate and low cost beyond Li-metal batteries (LMBs). However, due to the lack of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, anabatic problems such as dendrites, side reactions and...

Although the current plant slope protection technology can reinforce shallow landslides, it cannot reinforce deep landslides, and it ignores the slope stability at the initial stage of root growth. Aiming at the deficiency of current plant slope protection technology, a new type of supporting...
