This study selected four typical functional areas in Wanzhou, Chongqing Municipality, China—industrial, commercial, residential, and agricultural areas—to provide insights into the flux and source characteristics of atmospheric N wet deposition. One year’s precipitation samples were collected, and then the fluxes of ammonium nitrogen (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>-N), and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) were analyzed. The highest TDN wet deposition (28.34 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>) was observed in industrial areas, followed by commercial (19.44 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), agricultural (17.67 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), and residential areas (16.48 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), exhibiting a clear spatial trend. The flux characteristics of NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N wet deposition were similar to those of TDN wet deposition, the highest values was observed in industrial areas (22.76 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), followed by commercial areas (13.24 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), agricultural areas (11.97 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), and residential areas (10.11 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), respectively. The NO₃⁻-N wet deposition fluxes were highest in the industrial area (5.86 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), followed by commercial (5.46 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), residential (4.33 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>), and agricultural areas (3.98 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>·yr<sup>−1</sup>). The results of isotope modeling source analysis revealed that the highest contributor to NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N in the industrial area was coal combustion (32%), while biomass combustion had the lowest contribution (18%) compared to other sources. In the other three functional zones, NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N contributions were comparable, with the highest contributions originating from animal waste and fertilizers, while biomass combustion contributed the least. The biomass combustion was the primary source for NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>-N in the four functional areas. This study enriched the δ<sup>15</sup>N source spectrum data of typical functional zones and quantified the sources of N wet deposition in different functional zones. This information can provide a reference for N pollution control in specific functional areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":542,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Earth Sciences","volume":"84 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144861538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their in-situ concrete casting process is vulnerable to the formation of foundation defects, requiring full-volume imaging of as-built drilled shafts for quality assurance. This study presents a novel two-dimensional (2D) acoustic full-waveform inversion (AFWI) method for high-resolution ultrasonic imaging of drilled shafts, capturing details both inside and outside the rebar cage at centimeter-scale resolution. The method is formulated using 2D acoustic wave equations and adjoint-state optimization, integrating Tikhonov and Total Variation (TV) regularizations to enhance solution stability and preserve sharp structural boundaries. Additionally, an approximate Hessian matrix is incorporated in the regularization gradient, significantly improving inversion accuracy, particularly in regions beyond the rebar cage. Validated through synthetic experiments, the method successfully reconstructs shaft boundaries and detects defects without requiring prior knowledge of design diameter. The mean radial boundary errors of 2.4 m diameter shafts without and with defect are 1.2 cm and 4.4 cm, respectively. To further evaluate its real-world performance, the method is applied to a full-scale drilled shaft measuring 2.4 m in diameter and 21.3 m in length. Experimental ultrasonic data are collected by the standard cross-hole sonic logging (CSL) at depths along the shaft length and inverted to obtain a 2D image of P-wave velocity (<i>V</i><sub>p</sub>) at each depth. Individual 2D <i>V</i><sub>p</sub> images are then combined into a 3D image of the whole drilled shaft. Results confirm that the AFWI approach effectively characterizes the entire shaft, providing high-fidelity imaging and precise boundary delineation with the mean radial error of about 3 cm.

This study introduces a non-invasive technology based on stress wave propagation to detect service line materials on both the public (utility) and private (customer) sides. Stress waves are generated at the curb-stop valve of the service line by striking an extension rod with an instrumented hammer, which records the input impact signal. Piezoelectric accelerometer sensors placed on the soil surface then detect the pipe’s responses (output signals). This technology was field-tested in 419 service lines across 20 cities of the US. The collected data underwent several signal processing steps for the calculation of the frequency response function (FRF). Since the data was collected from various cities and locations, there were significant variations in soil depth, soil properties, and surface conditions. These variations made it challenging to develop a physics-based algorithm that accurately differentiates lead from non-lead materials (such as copper, galvanized steel, and plastic). A 1D-Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) was developed that uses combined real and imaginary FRF components as input to classify lead versus non-lead materials. The model was trained on 80% of the service line FRF data, with 10% used for validation and the remaining 10% for testing. To evaluate the model’s performance, a confusion matrix was employed to calculate accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score using the testing data. The model achieved 80% accuracy on test data and 80.5% accuracy on 41 blind-tested service lines. These results indicate that the stress wave technology proposed in this study, combined with signal processing and 1D-CNN model, offers a promising solution for non-invasively identifying lead service lines in diverse field conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10921-025-01236-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144861605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A good indicator of the attenuation of X-rays is the relative intensity (<i>I/I</i><sub><i>0</i></sub>): the difference between the beam energy emitted by the tube and received by the detector; however, it is not clear if it could be used alone for generalization. In this paper, an analysis of the attenuation ratio, represented by relative intensity, and its usage to define the expected quality variation of XCT measurements of metal-polymer assemblies is presented. An ad hoc test object has been designed including a polymeric base, interior polymeric cylinders and several outer metallic cylinders with two purposes: (i) obtain similar relative intensity in all projections, and (ii) create different scenarios with a range of <i>I/I</i><sub><i>0</i></sub> values. Experimental results confirm the trend observed in simulations, as better quality of the measurements in terms of metrological data and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) is directly related to higher <i>I/I</i><sub><i>0</i></sub> values. The threshold of <i>I/I</i><sub><i>0</i></sub> ≈ 0.16 has been found to be determinant for dimensional evaluation, as in presence of elements with higher radiopacity, lower– density features could present non– acceptable errors in their measurements. As well, it has been found that same attenuation values do not work similarly on different materials, as higher attenuation coefficient materials (in this case, steel vs. aluminium) create bigger noise levels (in the form of scatter). These findings will help to predict more easily the expected results on metal– polymer assemblies’ evaluation by XCT, being able to estimate more precisely the errors on dimensional measurements.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10921-025-01234-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144861606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we introduce DDSwinIR, a dual-domain reconstruction framework that leverages Swin Transformer-based architectures to recover high-quality CT images from severely undersampled sinograms. DDSwinIR operates in three stages: sinogram upsampling, deep learning-based reconstruction, and a residual refinement module that addresses domain-specific inconsistencies. While previous dual-domain deep learning (DD-DL) approaches improve reconstruction quality, they lack a systematic analysis of component contributions and do not generalize to unseen number of projections. DDSwinIR addresses these gaps through a modular and transparent design, allowing quantification of each network’s module. Our results highlight that early application of data consistency, especially after initial sinogram reconstruction, yields the most substantial and reliable improvements, particularly under extreme sparsity. We also introduce sparse-view concatenation, which enhances performance by improving feature propagation in highly undersampled settings. Extensive evaluation across varying numbers of projections reveal strong generalization when trained on sparse data and tested on denser configurations, but not vice versa, underscoring the importance of low-sparsity training.
