Development of laboratory instrumentation for the study of soil erodibility

open access: yes, 1968
In order to carry out a study of the relative efficiency of various erodibility indices, and of the relative erodibility of soils developed in the Peak District of Derbyshire (England), three instruments were developed.

Rock Mass Erodibility

open access: yes, 2016
Erosion of rock masses by water typically involves unraveling of blocks of rock along existing defects in a manner that is not represented by analytical solutions for sediment transport or rockfill (rip-rap).

Electrified Damage in Motion Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The electrified damage in motion systems is a fundamental framework presenting the degradation pathway arising from the coupling of electrical energy transport with mechanical contact and interfacial chemistry. The framework positions electrified damage as a distinct degradation regime with unique characteristic surface morphologies and failures of ...

The erodibility of fine sediment deposits in lowland chalk streams

open access: yes, 2011
PhDLowland chalk streams in the UK are experiencing increased deposition of fine sediment due to changes in land-use practices, channel modifications, and groundwater abstraction.

Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,

Aggregation characteristics and maturity of Peak District soils

open access: yes, 1969
Soil aggregation and aggregate stability are fundamental factors in determination of soil erodibility. The aggregation characteristics of soils in a region of high erosion potential are measured, and controlling factors examined.

Fly ash erodibility [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
In the northeastern United States, fly ash is removed from stack gases and commonly trucked to landfills for disposal. The cover soil and especially the underlying fly ash of these landfills are susceptible to erosion by water.

Engineering Pendant Group Chemistry to Control Hydrophilicity and Oxidative Degradation of Thioketal‐Based Biomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thioketal (TK) polymers are promising biomaterials due to their selective biodegradation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), but they respond slowly to physiologic doses of ROS. Here, the TK bond's pendant groups are modified to enhance the degradation of TK‐based implants both in vitro and in vivo.

Assessing the Global Sensitivity of RUSLE Factors: A Case Study of Southern Bahia, Brazil

open access: yesSoil Systems
Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) of the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) factors is in its infancy but is crucial to rank the importance of each factor in terms of its non-linear impact on the soil erosion rate. Hence, the goal of this study

The Effect of Nanocellulose Content in Hydrogel Nanocomposites on the Strength of the Crusts (Case Study: Sand Dune Sample of Abuzidabad Siazgeh Desert) [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2023
Maintaining soil structure and stability is essential, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with poor soil structural stability. Destruction of soil and its crust can cause wind erosion and desertification.
