Abstract:
... One of the most important aspects of tunnelling in soft grounds is to reduce any possible adverse environmental impact. That is, pre-supporting techniques are found to boost tunnelling advance speed whilst, at the same time, keeping the environmental consequences due to tunnelling process appreciably low. The umbrella arch method is one of the most common ground pre-supporting techniques used in t ...

Abstract:
... The field of dose–response has received attention from the early modern period in the history of science. While it was thought that linear dose–response is the rule of thumb, significant efforts revealed that biphasic dose–response commonly occurs when the experimental design permits its detection. This phenomenon is called hormesis and suggests that a basal stress level is needed for optimum heal ...

Abstract:
... The livestock sector is a key driver of humanity's transgression of several planetary boundaries, with the production of ruminant meat being particularly impactful. Given current trends in demand for animal products, strategies to significantly reduce the livestock sector's environmental impacts are urgently needed. Here we draw on published data to examine livestock's impacts in three key critica ...

Abstract:
... We derive the Green Golden Rule (GGR) in the Habit Formation (HF) and Anticipation of Future Consumption (AFC) frameworks. Since consumption is the key variable of GGR, time non-separabilities in preferences over consumption streams, given by the AFC and HF, may have important impacts on the environment and sustainability. We demonstrate that agents who smooth their consumption patterns, according ...
