An Increasing Misalignment Between Crop Distribution and Environmental Resources Under Climate Change in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change reshapes the spatial alignment between crop production and environmental resources. Using multi‐source data and a crop model, integrated climatic, water, and soil endowments for maize and wheat are quantified and compared with harvest distributions.

The Effect of Expanded Glass and Expanded Clay Aggregate Additives on Water Vapor Diffusion Based on Wet Cup Method in Cementitious Lightweight Mortars for Sustainable Buildings

Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi
Water vapor permeability is the ability of a material to allow vapor (such as water vapor or any gas) to pass through it. Water vapor permeability also indicates the breathability of the material.

Expanded Clay Applications in Internal Curing of Concrete

EPiC Series in Built Environment, 2020
Internal curing is used to reduce shrinkage and early age cracking of poured concrete. The internal curing process depends on providing internal moisture to hardening concrete using prewetted light weight aggregates, as expanded slates and shales. The main objective of this research is to produce internally cured light-weight concrete mixes to be used ...

A Wigner-Seitz model of charged lamellar colloidal dispersions

, 1997
A concentrated suspension of lamellar colloidal particles (e. g. clay) is modelled by considering a single, uniformly charged, finite platelet confined with co- and counterions to a Wigner-Seitz (WS) cell.

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

POSSIBILITY OF REUSING EXPANDED CLAY IN GREENHOUSE TOMATO CULTIVATION. PART I. YIELD AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FRUITS

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2012
One of the possibility that allow costs of soilless tomato culture to be reduced is to reuse the same growing medium. Expanded clay is classified as an inert medium, that is, chemically and biologically passive, although some studies indicate the ...
