AbstractIn this study, a model for the conductivity of MXene-based samples is developed by simultaneously considering the percolation threshold, inter-nanosheet interfacial contacts, contact geometry, and electron tunneling effects. The percolation onset volume fraction and the network portion are demonstrated by interphase dimensions as well as the diameter and thickness of the MXene nanosheets. Accordingly, the proposed model is constructed based on physically meaningful and measurable parameters, providing an efficient framework for estimating the conductivity of MXene system. Parametric analysis and experimental conductivity facts from representative systems are employed to validate the method. The highest conductivity as 5.1 S/m is gained when nearly all MXene nanosheets participate in the conductive network and the interphase thickness is 40 nm.

AbstractSoil thermal conductivity is a key parameter in geothermal design, buried infrastructure, frozen-ground engineering, agricultural heat-transfer assessment, and subsurface energy systems. This study developed an interpretable multi-model machine-learning framework for predicting soil thermal conductivity from 903 literature-derived observations and 15 predictors describing temperature, texture, bulk density, volumetric water content, salt concentration, salt molar mass, and ionic identity. Eleven regression algorithms were optimized by five-fold cross-validation within a common 90% development subset and compared on an untouched 10% random hold-out. Extra Trees yielded the lowest observed random-holdout error (R² = 0.9816, RMSE = 0.0625 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹, MAE = 0.0446 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹, AARE = 3.93%, and A20 = 98.90%), with CatBoost and XGBoost providing similarly high point performance.

AbstractLandfill leachate poses a significant environmental risk by transporting toxic metals and organic contaminants into surrounding soil and groundwater. This study establishes a rapid, non-invasive geophysical framework for delineating potential subsurface leachate pathways using high-resolution magnetic surveying integrated with advanced magnetic data processing and metaheuristic optimization. A total of 246 magnetic measurements were acquired across the Benowo landfill, Surabaya, Indonesia, using a proton precession magnetometer. The data were processed through diurnal correction, International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) removal, upward continuation, Reduction-to-the-Pole (RTP) transformation, analytic signal, first vertical gradient, and horizontal gradient analyses to enhance anomaly localization and source-boundary delineation.
