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

Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Abstract This study explores ways in which multilingual English listeners react to and rate three varieties of Asian English in three presentational modes: audio only, audiovisual and audiovisual with a face mask. Using a speech intelligibility framework, the study examines the extent to which presentational mode affects intelligibility and listener ...

ABSTRACT This article presents findings from a workshop in an anti‐racist teacher education course. Drawing from raciolinguistic ideologies, anti‐Black linguistic racism, and Extraordinary Pedagogies rooted in anti‐bigotry praxes, the workshop engaged white teacher candidates (TCs) to interrogate standard academic English as a racialized norm that ...

Ashraf(1) extended the theory of Philip and de Vries(2) in terms of matric-potential and temperature gradients. To test the extended theory, a series of experiments was performed in an insulated chamber. The extended theory predicted close

ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...

Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) arises from an autoimmune response in which the immune system erroneously targets myelin autoantigens within the central nervous system, leading to myelin degradation and subsequent neurological dysfunction. Identifying myelin autoantigenic peptides (MAPs) is therefore critical for understanding MS pathogenesis and ...
