Technical note: Isotopic fractionation of evaporating waters: effect of sub-daily atmospheric variations and eventual depletion of heavy isotopes [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Isotopic fractionation of evaporating waters has been studied constantly in recent decades, particularly because it enables calculation of both the volume of water evaporated from a water body and the isotopic composition of its source water.

Vertically inserted geotextile used for strengthening levees against internal erosion [PDF]

, 2015
The effectiveness of a vertical inserted geotextile against internal erosion, in particular backward erosion, has been investigated. Some small- and medium-scale tests were performed as well as a field-scale test and compared with test series without any

Dental Erosion [PDF]

Polish Journal of Public Health, 2014
Dental erosion is described as an irreversible loss of dental hard tissue resulting from exposure to non-bacterial acids or chelating substances. It may be caused by exogenous or endogenous factors. In the former case, food, drink, as well as the environment might be sources of acids; in the latter, acids flowing into the oral cavity from the stomach ...

Shifts in fungal communities drive soil profile nutrient cycling during grassland restoration

mBio
Soil microbial diversity and community life strategies are crucial for nutrient cycling during vegetation restoration. Although the changes in topsoil microbial communities during restoration have been extensively studied, the structure, life strategies,

Erosion, corrosion and erosion-corrosion of EB PVD thermal barrier coatings [PDF]

, 2008
Electron beam (EB) physical vapour deposited (PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been used in gas turbine engines for a number of years. The primary mode of failure is attributed to oxidation of the bond coat and growth of the thermally grown ...

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]

, 2018
With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of sediment contributing to marsh elevation gain were computed for Plum ...

Dental erosion

International Dental Journal, 1998
Tooth enamel erosion occurs only in susceptible individuals regardless of food and beverage consumption patterns, that is, consumption of an acidic drink or food alone is highly unlikely to cause erosion. Susceptibility is highly variable from person to person and multifactorial in nature, as are the causes of erosion itself.
