Soil compaction by wheeling: change in soil suction due to compression
, 2010 International audienceSoil compaction due to traffic has been increasingly recognized as a considerable problem facing intensive agriculture. Most of the models used to estimate soil deformation during the passage of machines are based on the concept of ...

Early stages of tooth development in the harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Here we describe the stages of tooth development in toothed whales on the basis of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). The aim of the study was to find out whether these stages are identical to those of other mammals analyzed so far although toothed whales are homodont and monophyodont.

The Effect of Contact on the Filter Paper Method for Measuring Soil Suction
, 2012 The filter paper method is one of the most commonly used and critiqued techniques for measuring soil suction. However, many aspects related to its use still require some clarification.

Application of dynamic modelling and model‐based predictive control to enhance a cooling tower
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Model predictive control (MPC) applied to improve the operation of cooling towers. Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) differs from traditional feedback control by making predictions within a time horizon, providing better control actions for the process.

Using neutron spectroscopy to measure soil-water retention at high suction ranges
, 2018 Laboratory determination of water retention curves for geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and their bentonite components are time-consuming, especially for high suction ranges. This paper explores the potential use of neutron spectroscopy as a useful method

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.
