Fire frequency and timing influence bee–flower interactions: a case study from an oak‐pine savanna restoration on the Cumberland Plateau

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Native plant communities have declined in the southeastern United States over the past century because of habitat loss and fire suppression. While restoration of these communities often requires prescribed fire, the effects of fire on endemic insects remain unclear.

Embankment construction.

open access: yes, 2023
The cement-mixed gravel, which is used in the construction of railway embankment, is a relatively more expensive material compared to sandy soil. Having said that, it is used where small residual settlement is required for example, abutment transition ...

Livelihood Heterogeneity and Adoption of Combine Harvesters Under Flood Risk: Evidence From the Wetland Areas of Bangladesh

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Livelihood heterogeneity explains uneven combine harvester adoption in haor wetlands. PCA–cluster analysis identifies four farmer typologies shaping mechanization pathways. Adoption is highest among educated and networked land‐rich farmers, lowest among traditionalists.

Proposed Design Graphs of Geotextile Reinforcement on Soft Clay under Various Field Conditions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Dimension, 2016
This paper describes the behavior of reinforced embankments constructed on soft clay subgrade with varying compressible depths, embankment slopes and embankment heights. The stability of the embankment is evaluated using the Bishop method. The resistance

A comparative study for the performance of encased granular columns

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019
This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) numerical analysis of a test embankment on geotextile-encased columns (GECs), in comparison with two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric and plane strain analyses.

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

open access: yesNew 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.

Comparison of windblown sand environmental effects between railway embankment and bridge and its engineering significance

open access: yesResearch in Cold and Arid Regions
The embankment and bridge are the basic forms of railway lines. To date, no reports have addressed the optimal form to adopt when passing through sandy areas.

Exploring the Potential of Unmanned Aerial System‐Based Topographic Indices Maps to Evaluate Storm Drain Positioning

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation, climate uncertainty, and limited city budgets have heightened the need for efficient urban drainage management. While advanced hydrodynamic models assess the performance of drainage networks, they are computationally intensive, time‐consuming, and expensive.

Research on Optimized Seismic Design of Geogrid-reinforced Road Embankment

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2010
:To study the seismic design of subgrade engineering, subgrade seismic damage of Wenchuan 8.0 Earthquake was investigated. Two damage types of un-reinforced road embankment under earthquake were found, including slope collapsing and pavement cracking ...
