Innovative method for installing soil moisture probes in a large‐scale undisturbed gravel lysimeter
Vadose Zone Journal, 2021 Aquifers of coarse gravel are an important source for drinking water; however, coarse sediments are also particularly susceptible to the rapid and long‐range transport of pollutants through the vadose zone.

Study on Mechanical Properties of Gravelly Sand under Different Stress Paths
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 To investigate the strength and deformation characteristics of gravelly sand on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau under different stress paths, a series of triaxial shear tests was conducted under confining pressures of 50–400 kPa in four types of stress path ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...

Plate Size Effects in Gravelly Soil Based on In Situ Plate Load Tests and Finite Element Analysis
Applied SciencesThe average contact stress–settlement behavior observed in plate load tests provides essential data for reliable foundation design. However, the test plate is often smaller than the actual foundation, requiring size extrapolation to interpret in situ ...
