A Reassessment of Petrochemistry of ~1.2 Ga Tonalitic Rocks of the Northern Tugela Terrane, Natal Metamorphic Belt, South Africa: Further Constraints on the Evolution of This Belt

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Our petrochemical studies on ~1.2 Ga granitoids of the Natal Metamorphic Belt, South Africa, do not suggest any property similar to Phanerozoic‐style subduction‐related granitoids. Plot of Kotongweni Tonalite in Y versus Sr diagram (after Moyen 2011), note that most samples have Sr/Y < 50.

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

The effect of awns on seed yield and germination characteristics in Elymus nutans Griseb.

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
The effect of awns on seed yield. Three‐year field trials demonstrated that awns significantly regulate seed yield components and germination characteristics of Elymus nutans Griseb, laying a theoretical foundation for the breeding of high‐yielding forage varieties and seed production.

Grain-size distribution and origins of unconsolidated fine sediments in ice-free areas, Soya Coast, East Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 2005
Unconsolidated fine sediments (UFS), sporadically deposited in Soya Coast ice-free areas, have often been described as glacial deposits (till) or subglacial till in previous studies, but their genesis and depositional environments have never been ...

Smart Sensor‐Integrated Lysimeter System for Affordable on‐Farm Crop Water Monitoring and Irrigation Management

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Automated X‐ray computed tomography‐based analysis of clast fabric in drill‐cores of glacial diamicts using deep learning models

open access: yesBoreas
Clast‐fabric analysis is a widely used method for investigating depositional and deformation processes in glacial sediments. However, traditional field‐based approaches lack standardization, are time consuming and introduce sampling bias.

Two-dimensional apparent microfabric of the basal Late Weichselian till and associated shear zone: case study from western Latvia [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2008
The examination of glacial sediments in thin sections has become a common procedure in recent years. Apparent sand grain orientation (microfabric) in thin sections is one of the key elements marking certain microstructures.

Mechanical properties of soils in internal waste bank of lignite mines and their primary characteristics [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering
The modern development of urban areas is related to, among others, the location of industrial facilities on the outskirts of cities. More and more often, commercial buildings are founded on areas that have not been used for construction so far.
