The building sector has negatively impacted on environment and people health due to high consumption of energy as well as significant emission of CO2 from material production and large consumption of nonrenewable raw materials. It is therefore necessary to develop new products that not only satisfy the same technical criteria, but also have enhanced qualities in term of the environment, people health and comfort.

During severe accidents at Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) is a critical event in which the melt released from the core region comes into contact with the coolant. The melt may eject in the form of a melt jet and threaten the integrity of the NPP.

Ruthenium is one of the most radiotoxic fission products which can be released from fuel as ruthenium oxides in an air ingress accident at a nuclear power plant. In this study it was found that the transport of the released ruthenium oxides through a reactor coolant system into the containment building is significantly affected by the atmospheric conditions.

The mangrove plant Kandelia candel is a type of woody halophyte that grows in tropical and subtropical ocean intertidal zones and exhibits a high salt tolerance. In this study, 61,970 unigenes were obtained from the roots of 60-day-old K. candel seedlings treated with 0 (control), 200, 400, and 600 mM NaCl for 3 days with an N50 of 1510 bp. Moreover, 454, 311, and 2663 genes were differentially expressed under 200, 400, and 600 mM NaCl treatments, respectively.

Activated carbon (AC), a porous material with high pore volume, attracts increasing attention owing to its potential applications in several fields. The development of a porous structure in AC marginally relies on both the treatment methods and the type of precursor. Thus far, both renewable and nonrenewable precursor sources have been used to synthesize AC with high surface area and pore volume. This study presents the synthesis of AC via physicochemical treatment of waste oil fly ash (OFA), a waste material produced from power plants.
