Effect of fine-grained soil layer thickness on performance of modified capillary barrier system [PDF]

, 2015
Slope instability due to rainfall infiltration constitutes major natural disasters in many tropical countries covered by residual soil. In these types of soils, groundwater table usually exist at considerable depth with significance thickness of ...

Learning discriminative representation with global and fine-grained features for cross-view gait recognition

, 2022
In this study, we examine the cross-view gait recognition problem. Many existing methods establish global feature representation based on the whole human body shape. However, they ignore some important details of different parts of the human body. In 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 ...

Settlements in Fine-Grained Soils Under Cyclic Loading

Soils and Foundations, 2001
ABSTRACT Based on the methods previously presented by the authors (Yasuhara et al., 1992, 1994, 1996) for predicting the degradation in strength and stiffness of soft clays in the course of cyclic loading, a methodology has been developed to estimate the cyclic loading-induced settlements.

Improving Friend Recommendation for Online Learning with Fine-Grained Evolving Interest

, 2022
Friend recommendation plays a key role in promoting user experience in online social networks (OSNs). However, existing studies usually neglect users' fine-grained interest as well as the evolving feature of interest, which may cause unsuitable ...

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

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.

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 ...

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.
