Yielding of unsaturated soil. [PDF]
Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to develop a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils in terms of elastoplastic critical state constitutive models.

A Simple Method of Identifying an Expansive Soil
ABSTRACT Expansive soils pose a problem to the construction engineers. At present there is no universally accepted simple procedure for identifying these soils. The authors present in this paper a method for identifying expansive soils from its liquid limit, plasticity index and shrinkage index values.

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

Lime slurry stabilisation of an expansive soil
Lime slurry and lime pile techniques are viable choices for in-situ stabilisation of expansive soil deposits. This paper reports the results of a laboratory study on in-situ chemical stabilisation of an expansive soil that permeated lime slurry through ...

Stabilization of muscat’s expansive soil using bottom ash from medical waste incineration [PDF]
Expansive soils are inherently known for exhibiting significant volumetric change in response to slight variation in the moisture content. In this study, medical waste material in the form of bottom ash (BA) was investigated as a potential stabilizer for

A Rare Allele of ST5 From Wild Rice Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice
A novel salt‐tolerance gene ST5W, characterized by a unique 36‐bp promoter insertion, is found exclusively in a small subset of Oryza rufipogon and is absent in cultivated rice. Field trials confirm ST5W significantly enhances rice yield across diverse genetic backgrounds under saline conditions.
