Briefing: From urban foresight to project bundles—the case of Huntsville, Alabama

Urban foresight and its project packages may follow linear temporality paths towards intended urban futures. Changes in conditions in one project package might affect the others. This briefing argues that project bundling can offer a more dynamic way to implement these visions. S...

Multi-analytical characterization and radiation shielding assessment of natural ophiolitic rocks: a combined experimental, mineralogical, and simulation analysis

Abstract Ophiolitic suites derived from oceanic crust are rich in ferromagnesian and mafic minerals and exhibit relatively high densities, making them promising and economical materials for radiation shielding. This study evaluates ophiolitic rocks exposed along the Marsa Alam–Id...
