Call
for Action
The ISC has been monitoring the case of Iranian-Swedish scholar Dr.
Ahmadreza Djalali who was sentenced to death by Iranian authorities in 2017 based on
allegations that he had provided intelligence to Israeli authorities. Djalali has
repeatedly denied these allegations and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention
called for his immediate release in 2017.
The ISC Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science (CFRS) works closely
with
Scholars at Risk (SAR) to monitor and advocate for Dr Djalali. On 9 December, SAR
will recognize Dr. Djalali with their prestigious Courage to Think Award for 2021.
CFRS renews its call for his immediate release – his life depends on our collective
action, and we ask all ISC Members for their support to help Dr. Djalali by calling
for his release:
-
Forward the
call to action to your networks. -
Raise awareness over social media by posting
this tweet. -
Raise awareness over social media by creating your own tweet using
#SaveAhmadreza and tagging @ScholarsAtRisk, @ISC, your minister of foreign
affairs, and other relevant government officials. -
Write to Iranian authorities as an organization or association, issuing a letter
of appeal (see SAR’s template letter here). -
Write to Iranian authorities as an individual by signing and sending SAR’s online
letter of appeal. -
Arrange a meeting with members of your government to raise Dr. Djalali’s case
(see detailed instructions here). -
Arrange a meeting with Iranian officials to call for Dr. Djalali’s release (see
detailed instructions here).
InterPore is an Affiliated Member of the International

Damage
Mechanics Challenge
Workshop
25
June 2022, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
The Damage Mechanics Challenge Workshop is held in conjunction with the
56th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium. The purpose of this exercise is to:
-
compare computational approaches on damage evolution for predicting fracture
behavior of 3D printed model rock; -
identify the information provided by the different simulation approaches that
gives insight into the prediction and interpretation of failure in rock; -
identify model parameters that are currently not measured or cannot be measured
in the laboratory; and -
determine whether there are other experimental measurements that are needed or
better methods of performing measurements to monitor damage evolution.
This challenge exercise is used to determine the state of the art and future
directions to improve the community’s ability to simulate crack formation and
evolution in natural and engineered brittle-ductile materials. More information on
how to participate in the challenge can be found at the website
Probabilistic Nucleation and Crystal Growth in Porous Medium: New Insights from
Calcium Carbonate Precipitation on Primary and Secondary Substrates
Mohammad
Nooraiepour, Mohammad Masoudi, Nima Shokri, and Helge Hellevang
Knowledge of crystal nucleation and growth is paramount in understanding the
geometry
evolution of porous medium during reactive transport processes in geo-environmental
studies. To predict transport properties precisely, it is necessary to delineate
both the amount and location of nucleation and precipitation events in the
spatiotemporal domain. The main objective was to evaluate solid formation under
different boundary conditions when the solid-liquid interface plays a key role. New
observations were made on the effect of primary and secondary substrates and the
role of preferential precipitation locations on the rock surfaces. Our results
highlight the complex dynamics induced by substrate surface properties on the
spatial and temporal solute distribution, transport, and deposition.

Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance Cryoporometry Study of Solid–Liquid Equilibria in Interconnected Spherical
Nanocages
Henry
R. N. B. Enninful, Daniel Schneider, Benjamin Rudolph, Andreas Meyer,
Simone Mascotto, and Rustem Valiullin.
A combined experimental and theoretical study of solid–liquid phase equilibria
confined in mesoporous solids composed of spherical cages connected via
smaller-sized cylindrical irregular channels is presented. The experimental data are
analyzed using transition kernels developed for the spherical pores. They accurately
predict the variation of the non-frozen water layer thickness with temperature as
well as the positions of the solid–liquid and liquid–solid transition temperatures.
By analyzing the melting and freezing transitions as well as scanning freezing
transitions in materials with different properties of the interconnecting pore
network achieved by different synthesis conditions, an accurate information on the
textural properties and phase transition processes is obtained.

Global predictions of primary soil salinization under changing climate in the 21st
century
Amirhossein
Hassani, Adisa Azapagic & Nima Shokri
Soil salinization has become one of the major environmental and socioeconomic issues
globally. Determining how climate change influences the dynamics of
naturally-occurring soil salinization has scarcely been addressed. This paper sets
out to address this long-standing challenge by developing data-driven models capable
of predicting primary (naturally-occurring) soil salinity and its variations in the
world’s drylands. Analysis of the future predictions made here identifies a number
of dryland areas as salinization hotspots. Conversely, we project a decrease in the
soil salinity of other drylands.
