Ren, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Lin, P. (author), Gao, Y. (author)The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method is proved as an efficient tool to explore the intermolecular interaction between rejuvenators and aged bitumen, but the simple “singlemolecule” model of rejuvenator would bring the inaccuracy to simulation outputs due to a huge difference with its realistic multi-component chrematistic.

(author), Obersteiner, Michael (author), Guo, Zhaoxia (author), Bryan, Brett A. (author)Progress to date toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has fallen short of expectations and is unlikely to fully meet 2030 targets. Past assessments have mostly focused on short- and medium-term evaluations, thus limiting the ability to explore the longer-term effects of systemic interactions with time lags and delay. Here we undertake...journal article 2022
