Uniaxial compression tests were performed, and damage as well as constitutive models were developed to capture the mechanical response. The results reveal that the critical saturation range for freeze–thaw damage in basalt lies between 50.1% and 76.9%. When the freezing temperature ranges between − 10 °C and − 20 °C or the freezing duration extends up to 4 h, damage to the basalt intensifies significantly. There is a threshold effect of freezing temperature and duration, where further lowering of temperature or prolonged freezing does not increase damage once the rock is fully frozen. The impact of repeated freeze–thaw cycles shows diminishing marginal effects, with the rate of degradation slowing over multiple cycles. The proposed constitutive model accurately reflects basalt’s mechanical response under various freeze–thaw scenarios by using Young’s modulus and secant moduli as damage calibration parameters. These findings offer valuable insights into understanding rock degradation in cold-region engineering applications, providing guidance for design and maintenance strategies to mitigate rock instability and structural failures caused by freeze–thaw processes. The research outcomes are particularly relevant for underground cavern excavation, slope stability assessment, tunnel construction, and other rock engineering projects in regions subject to repeated freezing and thawing events.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this connection, a new method for uprating an NPP with water-cooled reactors is proposed and discussed, which involves heating of feedwater in an economizer prior to supplying it to the steam generators by using the reactor coolant from the steam generator’s outlet. This results in an increased main steam output from the steam generator without changing its thermal power capacity, and a decrease in the average coolant temperature in the reactor core without changing it at the reactor outlet helps increase the core reactivity. With excess steam supplied to an additional steam turbine unit, it becomes possible to decrease the total costs for a power unit’s modernization and enhance the NPP safety through providing backup power supply for power plant auxiliaries in case of an emergency involving station blackout. A process cycle circuit of an NPP with a VVER-1200 reactor involving feedwater heating in an economizer upstream of the steam generator is developed and substantiated. The economizer main characteristics required for feedwater heating to 245 and 265°C are determined. The effect from installing the economizer on the reactor coolant pump operation and on the reactor coolant circuit as a whole is determined. It is shown that the power output of the NPP unit with a VVER-1200 reactor and with an additional turbine increases by 37.17 and 95.88 MW, respectively, with feedwater heated to 245 and 265°С.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"72 3","pages":"192 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we focused on Fanjing Mountain, a highland forest ecosystem in Southwest China, to examine the distribution and partitioning of metal micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Zn, Mo, Ni) within the soil–plant system along an altitudinal gradient, and to identify factors influencing micronutrient dynamics in plants across varying elevations. The results showed that the average contents of Cu, Fe, Zn, Mo, and Ni in soil (plant) were 24.64 (11.96), 28784.38 (1185.17), 659.57 (60.23), 0.97 (0.77), and 25.42 (5.41) mg/kg, respectively. Micronutrient elements exhibited varied trends along the altitudinal gradient; notably, Zn content in both soil and plants increased with elevation. The enrichment capacity of plant branches and leaves for metal micronutrients also shifted with altitude, with Cu and Mo showing significantly higher enrichment levels compared to other elements. Metal micronutrient content of plants was influenced by environmental factors such as soil properties and location, where the effect of soil environmental factors on plant micronutrient content decreases with increasing altitude. These findings enhance our understanding of the biogeochemical cycling of metal micronutrients in highland alpine forest ecosystems and provide valuable insights for improving forest soil quality and vegetation conservation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801205","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}
