Examining the swelling potential of cohesive soils with high plasticity according to their index properties using GIS

open access: yesOpen Geosciences
As the value ranges presented in the literature with tables and graphs that feature soil index properties related to the soil swelling potential are intertwined, their interpretation may pose certain challenges.

Bridging Performance and Fate: A Framework for Sustainable, Composite‐Based Flexible Electronic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Composite‐based flexible electronics integrate biodegradable polymers, conductive networks, and multilayer device architectures to balance electrical performance, mechanical durability, and controlled degradation. Interfacial engineering and encapsulation regulate transport stability and operational lifetime, while programmed disassembly enables ...

Keeping Pace or Falling Behind? The Depth of Latin American Trade Agreements

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether Latin American countries are keeping pace with global trends in trade agreement depth or falling behind. Using 681 agreements (1970–2019), we develop the Depth Index of Trade Agreements (DITA) to weight provisions endogenously through factor analysis based on co‐occurrence patterns.

The Potential Use of Nanoclayto Increa Strength of Contaminated Soil

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
Totally contaminated soils is known as problematic soils. Also cohesive soil with low strength is not suitable for geotechnical structures. One of the soil improvement techniques is adding an additive to soil. Given the widespread use of nanoparticles in

Performance evaluation of the Generalized Bounding Surface Model in the simulation of Cajicá clay subjected to monotonic loading [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Different constitutive models, based on principles of mechanics and experimental evidence, have been developed over several decades to represent and predict the stress-strain behavior of soils subjected to various loading conditions.

Criteria of Erosion for Cohesive Soils

open access: yes, 2007
This paper focus on three types of erosion: the suffusion, the backward erosion, and the piping erosion processes. A new triaxial device to quantifying suffusion and backward erosion, and a new model for interpreting the Hole Erosion Test, are presented.

Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.

Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...
