An Open Database of Lunar Regolith and Simulants Properties

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lunar regolith, the layer of unconsolidated material covering the Moon's surface, is central to the science and technology developed for the Moon, notably related to in‐situ science investigations, resource utilization, surface infrastructure, and mobility systems.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Aloe vera–Honey Edible Coating Prolongs Shelf Life and Preserves Quality of Refrigerated Fresh‐Cut Mango (Mangifera indica)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Fresh‐cut mango cubes were dip‐coated with Aloe vera gel, mixed flower honey, or their blends and stored under refrigeration for 20 days. Among all formulations, the 100% Aloe vera coating formed the most effective protective barrier. Compared with uncoated mango, it reduced moisture loss by approximately 48% and spoilage by 50%, while maintaining ...

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Use of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer in Compacted Clay–Sand Layers

Applied Sciences, 2022
The ASTM D6951 suggests a test method using the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) for the assessment of shallow pavement strength. This study is dedicated to evaluating a similar test method to be used for fine-grained clay–sand mixtures, which are ...

Visual soil indicators reveal complementary associations with mechanical resistance and pore‐system organization in a heterogeneous watershed

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Visual soil methods provide rapid field diagnosis, but different methods may emphasize distinct components of soil condition. This study evaluated associations of the visual evaluation of soil structure (VESS) and visual soil assessment (VSA) with physical, mechanical, and structural properties at 37 sites representing Acrisols, Lixisols, and ...

Assessing strength properties of stabilized soils using dynamic cone penetrometer test

Open Engineering, 2023
The subgrade soil layer is the most essential part of the pavement system. Many pavement failures can be associated with subgrade weak strength and stiffness qualities.

Impacts of Transient Critical Zone Evolution on Landslide Susceptibility and Hazard Across the Utuado Batholith, Puerto Rico

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Landscapes in humid climates often experience rapid chemical and mechanical weathering that can change groundwater fluxes, drainage pathways, and frictional strength via alterations in subsurface mineral composition and matrix porosity. These changes to hillslope critical zone structure and strength should control landslide susceptibility ...
