Influence of Loosely Bound Water on Compressibility of Compacted Fine-Grained Soils

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
This study aimed to investigate the influence of loosely bound water (LBW) on the compressibility of compacted fine-grained soils and accurately determine the soil’s compression index. Four fine-grained soils (i.e., heavy clay, heavy silt, lean clay, and

Effect of Consolidation on the Behaviour of Excavations in Fine-grained Soils

Procedia Engineering, 2016
AbstractThis study deals with the detrimental effects of consolidation on the behaviour of excavations carried out in fine-grained soils. With the aim of reproducing the main aspects of the mechanical behaviour of medium-soft clays, an advanced constitutive model was adopted, which is based on bounding surface plasticity and can take into account the ...

Iron‐Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

Bridging traditional and conventional knowledge for soil classification in landslide-prone areas using exploratory factor analysis

Frontiers in Environmental Science
IntroductionUnderstanding soil movement and landslide susceptibility requires accurate soil classification. Traditional knowledge (TK) from ancient Indian texts describes soil color, texture, smell, and taste as key indicators, yet such qualitative ...

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Feasibility study of a new unsaturated three-layer landfill cover system

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
As an improvement of the two-layer cover with capillary barrier effect (CCBE) (i.e. fine-grained soil overlying a coarse-grained soil), a new three-layer landfill cover system is proposed and investigated for humid climate.

OsCPK12‐OsATPD1 Module Regulates Photosynthetic Acclimation to Light Stress in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
OsCPK12 interacts and phosphorylates OsAtpD1 at Ser8 in its transit peptide. This phosphorylation promote its chloroplast translocation, thereby maintaining ATP synthase activity and proton gradient (ΔpH) homeostasis and regulating photosynthetic acclimation, photoprotection, and repair under light stress.

Swelling Potential of Fine‐Grained Soil: Theory, Determination, and Validation

Water Resources Research
Swelling potential (SP) has long been used as a terminology to describe a soil's expansibility. It is commonly defined in terms of pressure or deformation under certain constraints.

Dual Repression by IPA1 Fine‐Tunes OsbZIP79‐Mediated Salt Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual repression by IPA1 fine‐tunes OsbZIP79‐mediated salt tolerance in rice: direct transcriptional inhibition under normal conditions and salt‐induced degradation under stress. This dual mechanism activates OsbZIP79 to regulate Na+/K+ homeostasis and redox balance via downstream genes, enabling optimal salt stress response.
