Soil response at low stress in laminar box tilt table testing

The capability of direct in-soil measurement of shear stress and shear strain has been applied to 1 g tilt table laminar box tests. The aim of the study is to evaluate the stiffness response of the material tested under low to ultra-low vertical stresses. The tests were performed...

Optimal Vaccination for Contagious Diseases with Seasonal Transmission

Abstract We study optimal periodic time-dependent vaccination strategies for seasonal epidemics with waning immunity, aiming to minimize the basic reproduction number under a fixed annual vaccine supply. Our analysis, which does not pre-assume the structure of the vaccination pro...

The black soldier fly bioreactor: host‐microbiome synergy in pathogen neutralization, xenobiotic remediation, and downstream feed safety

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are critical to the circular economy, transforming hazardous organic wastes into sustainable agricultural feed. However, processing high-bioburden substrates presents severe biosafety challenges. This review synthesizes recent advancements (2021-20...
