Rainfall Infiltration and Macropores in a Hillside Slope

Rainfall Infiltration and Macropores in a Hillside Slope
Infiltration tests and a soil survey made on the slope of a hilly region indicate that the infiltration rate of rainwater decreased rapidly after rain began, that the final infiltration rate was too large for the prevailing soil character, and that coarse macropores occupy 5 to 10% of the horizontal area and fine macropores 7.8% of the volume.

Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign

Spectacle and Spy Stories: The 1954 Royal Commission on Espionage

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Menzies government's 1954 royal commission, established to investigate Soviet espionage in Australia, is well known as the backdrop to the Labor Party split. It saw opposition leader H.V. Evatt's demise and ushered in an almost 20‐year period of Liberal Party governance.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

The Materiality of the Cloggs Cave Rockshelter's Painting, GunaiKurnai Country (East Gipplsland), Southeastern Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The materiality of the white pigment motif at the Cloggs Cave rockshelter, near Buchan in GunaiKurnai Country (southeastern Australia), contains details about the cultural and environmental contexts in which the art was created and preserved. Here, we (1) present physicochemical analyses of the pigment composition; (2) explore implications for

Surface engineering of recycled high‐density polyethylene‐based wood–polymer composites via carbon black‐containing surface film coating

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates carbon black nanoparticle (CB NP)‐reinforced surface films for improving the durability, thermal stability, fire performance and mechanical retention of recycled high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)‐based wood‐plastic composites (WPCs) after 12 months of natural weathering.

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...
