Species' functional traits are closely related to ecosystem processes through evolutionary adaptation, and are thus directly connected to environmental changes. Species' traits are not commonly used in palaeoecology, even though they offer powerful advanta ...
Sediments are an essential component of fluvial ecosystems. They are also quite often a cause of disturbance for fluvial works, such as dams or locks. In order to manage these disturbances without causing adverse impacts downstream, managers should have in ...

In Kazakhstan, in-situ recovery (ISR) mining utilizes H2SO4 (pH < 2) to mobilize uranium from naturally reducing conditions. ISR can be less environmentally impactful than physical mining techniques, but it risks groundwater (GW) contamination. Presented h ...
Sequence data are increasingly shared to enable mining applications, in various domains such as marketing, telecommunications, and healthcare. This, however, may expose sensitive sequential patterns, which lead to intrusive inferences about individuals or ...
Aware of its heavy environmental impact, the construction industry is on the lookout for new tools that provide a closer control of the end performance of buildings, e.g. the energy and volume of materials that they demand and their ability to be repaired ...
The purpose of this paper is to compare three approaches for providing information on the bioaccumulation potential of metals from contaminated sediments to the deposit-feeding polychaete Arenicola marina. We present metal (Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) bioac ...
Complex activities are activities that are a combination of many simple ones. Typically, activities of daily living (ADLs) fall in this category. Complex activity recognition is an active area of interest amongst sensing and knowledge mining community toda ...
Sulfidic mine tailings have to be classified as one of the major source of hazardous materials leading to water contamination. This study highlights the processes leading to sulfide oxidation and acid mine drainage (AMD) formation in the active stage of tw ...
