Summary: Assessing spatial variation in the chemical sensitivity of natural assemblages is important for ecological risk assessments and environmental quality standards. The sensitivity of freshwater macroinvertebrate assemblages to different chemicals varied spatially and exhibited clustering patterns. The variation was greater for specifically acting chemicals and was related to river typology.

Summary: The study uses the analytic hierarchy process and geographic information system technology to quantitatively evaluate the ecological sensitivity of land resources in the Tumen River Basin of China. The results show that human disturbance has the most obvious influence on ecological sensitivity, with land use type and distance from construction land being the most important factors. The highly sensitive areas account for only 0.59% of the total area and are mainly concentrated in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. The results of the study provide data support and a scientific basis for regional ecological protection and development planning.

Summary: This paper retests the relationship between urbanization and carbon emissions based on existing research results by introducing meta-regression analysis and discusses the reasons for the differences in previous research findings from the perspectives of publication bias and research heterogeneity. The results show that urbanization in China has a strong positive impact on carbon emissions following an inverted U-shaped Kuznets curve relationship, and there are significant temporal and spatial variations in this impact. Furthermore, indicator selection does not interfere with the measurement of the impact of urbanization on carbon emissions.

Summary: Human industries generate numerous chemicals, many of which have not been sufficiently studied for environmental safety or human health impacts. The current testing methods using mammals are expensive, laborious, and time-consuming, exacerbating the lack of chemical safety information. To address this, scientists and regulators are developing new approaches for chemical safety testing, including the use of invertebrate organisms, such as fruit flies, to understand common chemical modes of action across different species, including humans. In this study, a simple and affordable method using Drosophila melanogaster is described to assess chemical safety, which can also be adapted for genomic and metabolomic analyses.

Summary: Passive sampling is used to quantify the net partitioning of hydrophobic organic contaminants between porewater and solid phases in contaminated sediments, improving risk management strategies. Direct measurements of porewater (C-free) are the most accurate way to predict adverse effects on biota. A stochastic framework is proposed to map solid-phase concentration (C-total) to estimated C-free by considering variability in passive sampling-derived K-TOC relationships.

Summary: This study evaluated the sensitivity of crop water footprints (WFs) to key input variables using year-by-year simulations for wheat, rice, maize, and soybean production in China. The results showed that WFs are generally more sensitive to reference evapotranspiration (ETo) among the input variables and crop transpiration coefficient (KcTr) and soil evaporation coefficient (KE) among the model parameters. The blue WF was found to be more sensitive than the green WF, and rainfed scenarios showed higher sensitivity compared to irrigated crops.

Summary: This paper focuses on mapping LCIA methods and models addressing biodiversity loss to specific LCI nomenclatures, proposing mapping rules for elementary flows related to chemicals, carbon emissions, land use, water use, and particulate matter, while discussing specific aspects to consider in mapping elementary flows. Main gaps in LCI nomenclatures are associated with toxicity and climate change impacts, with EF 3.0 showing better alignment with LCIA methods and models compared to ecoinvent 3.6. Further efforts are recommended for harmonizing elementary flows nomenclature in the LCA community.

Summary: The successful deployment of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) relies heavily on public opinion. User expectations and concerns play a crucial role in driving market acceptance and adoption of these technologies. A study conducted in Italy, Germany, and Spain revealed that while CAVs offer benefits such as increased safety and improved travel experience, concerns about privacy, accident responsibility, and maintenance costs exist. Stakeholders need to carefully consider these concerns as they may hinder the acceptance of CAVs.

Summary: This study investigates how to establish a safety benchmark model for evasive lane-change maneuvers and applies it to microsimulation frameworks. The research shows that dynamic modeling introduces discrepancies at low and high speeds, but these can be mitigated by incorporating a braking model and calibrating maximum lateral acceleration conservatively. Additionally, a method is proposed to compute the effective lateral acceleration for a kinematic model to match the dynamical system's maneuvering.

Summary: Food consumption is a major contributor to global water consumption and its environmental impact. This study compares the volumetric blue water footprint assessment (WFA), a pressure method, with the scarcity-weighted WF AWARE model, an impact method, to evaluate the water footprint of food consumption in the EU27. The results show that almonds and cashew have the highest pressure and impact in both methods. EU food consumption has a water footprint pressure of approximately 54 m3/capita/year and an impact of approximately 3525 m3 eq/capita/year under an aligned scope. Considering the full supply chain, the water footprint impact increases by 30%, with wine and chocolate being the top contributors. Integration of WFA data into life cycle assessment (LCA) inventory could be explored for a more comprehensive analysis.

Summary: This paper investigates how multianticipative adaptive cruise control (M-ACC) can address traffic oscillations compared to cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) approaches through simulation analysis. The results show that for small market penetration rates, M-ACC outperforms any CACC heterogenous platoons in terms of performance metrics as it does not require infrastructure or other adjacent vehicles featuring the same technology. Given the challenges in market adoption of connectivity-based solutions, M-ACC could be a suitable and realistic option to harness the benefits of automation to traffic flow in the near future.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
