A large-scale field experiment was established in the Dubbele Dijk polder (Groningen, The Netherlands) to compare regenerative and conventional farming systems under identical crop rotations. The site presents a rare experimental condition: the upper 80 cm of topsoil was removed during construction of …

The Vietnam Mekong Delta (VMD) is an essential region providing food security. According to The World Bank (2024), the Mekong Delta is the Vietnamese centre of rice production, with 50% of the country’s rice production and 90% of exports. Besides its agricultural activity, VMD is also an important aquacultural …

Critical materials are economically important raw materials with high supply risk. They are widely used in electronic components, batteries, sensors and drone-related systems. For Europe, access to these materials is a strategic issue because many of them are not sufficiently available within the European …

This study evaluated the feasibility of a buoyant V-block closure joint for application within the Fraser River Tunnel Project and compared its performance against alternative closure joint concepts. The results demonstrate that the buoyant V-block is a technically feasible closure joint solution under …

Many modern unitised façades rely on structural sealant glazing (SSG) to accommodate building drift and slab deflection. However, when hung-and-sworded panels undergo racking, the resulting shear strains expose limitations in current design workflows. While it is common practice to use simplified linear …

Though the problem of water risks is growing and becoming more evident, there is a lack of structured information about how these risks are managed through the certification process. While there are certain credits dedicated to managing water risks and implementing measures in regard to them in the …

This research held two main intentions, the first being to analyze what subsurface layouts have what kinds of effects on pipe length for the dike failure mechanism, and the second being to create a model using this information and knowledge. The first intention was completed using two different programs: …

This study investigates the integration of biochar production with CCS as a hybrid biomass-based CDR pathway that could enhance net carbon sequestration while reducing pyrolysis-related CO2 emissions. Biochar and BECCS are often treated as separate options, even though they rely on similar biomass supply …

The medical expulsion of seriously ill third-country nationals creates complicated legal issues at the intersection of the question of migration control and protection of human rights. Even though a State has the power to take removal measures, the exercise of this discretion is constrained by European …

In many schools teaching learners is conducted in isolation, and often, so is teachers’ learning. Isolation hinders shared practices; it creates a key challenge for those in middle leadership roles who must foster collaborative professional development. This study examines how a system perspective empowers …
