Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020 Providing information on the impacts of climate change on hydrological processes is becoming ever more critical. Modelling and evaluating the expected changes of the water resources over different spatial and time scales can be useful in several fields ...

Journal of Applied Probability, 2019 AbstractWe introduce an idealised model for overland flow generated by rain falling on a hillslope. Our prime motivation is to show how the coalescence of runoff streams promotes the total generation of runoff. We show that, for our model, as the rate of rainfall increases in relation to the soil infiltration rate there is a distinct phase change.

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Development of a rainfall-runoff-soil erosion model for railway embankment steep slopes
, 2013 Railway embankments in Queensland are experiencing increased maintenance costs due to rainfall-induced erosion and sedimentation problems. The erosion problem can be reduced through establishing grass cover on embankment and cutting slopes. Therefore, it

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Effects of cattle manure on erosion rates and runoff water pollution by faecal coliforms. [PDF]
, 2006 The large quantities of slurry and manure that are produced annually in many areas in which cattle are raised could be an important source of organic matter and nutrients for agriculture.
