Summary: This article investigates the thermal conductivity of gangue-cemented paste backfill through laboratory tests and analyzes the influences of mix proportion parameters and water saturation degree. The results show that the water/binder ratio significantly affects the thermal conductivity, while the cement amount has little influence. Moreover, there is a linear positive correlation between thermal conductivity and water saturation degree.

Summary: Natural rubber foam produced by the Dunlop method using concentrated natural latex with chemical agents shows increased density and compression strength with higher NR matrix concentration. Mechanical properties were consistent with computational modeling, and thermodynamic aspects demonstrated an increase in internal energy force, entropy, and activation enthalpy with increasing matrix concentration. New scientific concepts for thermodynamic parameters in compressed crosslinked NR foam were proposed and discussed, aiming to improve knowledge and development of rubber foams based on the structure-properties relationship.

Summary: A thermal effect model for vertical groundwater migration in stratified rock mass was established based on the one-dimensional heat conduction-convection equation. The model analyzed the impacts of vertical seepage velocity of groundwater and thermal conductivity of surrounding rocks on temperature field distribution. The model was successfully applied to two temperature-measuring boreholes in coal mines, showing a high goodness of fit with the actual situation.

Summary: The roots of higher plants play a crucial role in providing nutrients and water to the shoot, while receiving photosynthates in return. Recent findings have brought attention to the energy conversion and allocation in roots, highlighting the importance of root building costs for stress tolerance and nutrient use efficiency. Additionally, a mismatch between root energy budget and apparent costs, such as membrane transport under stress conditions, has been observed. The study also discusses various aspects of root bioenergetics, including root respiration, energy conversion in mitochondria, and energy allocation across the plasma membrane.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of porosity reduction caused by silica precipitation on pore pressure development, heat transfer, and reactive flow in a geothermal system. The findings suggest that porosity reduction can lead to excess pore pressure, affecting rock mass stability and the likelihood of tensile failure. Consequently, considering the effective stresses associated with solute deposition is crucial for accurate studies of rock failure and has important implications for the long-term thermo-hydraulic properties of geothermal reservoirs.

Summary: The deep Artesian borehole R-30-Staro Oryahovo provides chlorine-sodium water with high iron concentrations, originating from Paleogene formations. Iron exists mainly as Fe2+ and FeCl+ in the water. The potential sources of iron in the water include hydroxides and sulfates of Fe2+ or reductive dissolution of Fe3+-containing minerals; at the surface, a geochemical barrier is formed due to the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+, causing precipitation of Fe3+ oxides.

Summary: The Mesta river is a cross-border river with Greece, and its catchment area includes parts of Rila, Pirin, and the Rhodope Mountains. The karst formations in the region are mainly developed in pre-Paleozoic marble, forming different basins. The chemical composition analysis of the karst springs shows that the interaction between water and marble plays a significant role in the formation of the karst waters.
