Modeling of transpiration reduction in van Genuchten-Mualem type soils
, 2009 We derive an analytic expression for the matric flux potential (M) for van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) type soils which can also be written in terms of a converging infinite series.

Surface tension effects on the hydraulic conductivity of hydrophobic porous media
GeodermaUnder certain conditions of natural or anthropogenic origin, the wettability properties of soils change from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Such a transition results in substantial changes in water flow dynamics and soil hydraulic properties.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Compacted sand-bentonite mixtures for hydraulic containment liners [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2005 Sand is a pervious material in nature. Mixing sand with appropriate bentonite contents yields sandbentonite mixtures having low hydraulic conductivity that can be used as hydraulic containment liners.
