Shaking table test on underwater slope failure induced by liquefaction
Sand liquefaction is a process in which the excess pore water pressure of saturated sand soils increases and the effective stress of saturated sand decreases under the action of vibration, resulting in the transition of sand soils from the solid state to

Changes in the forms and availability of applied phosphate over a twelve-month period in two soils of the Manawatu-Rangitikei sand country : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University [PDF]
A feature of New Zealand agriculture is the requirement for regular applications of phosphate fertilizer to maintain high producing pastures. This is reflected in the large amounts of phosphate fertilizer sold annually, which for the 1971-72 season ...

Effect of alcohol addition on the movement of petroleum hydrocarbon fuels in soil [PDF]
Groundwater contamination by fuel spills from aboveground and underground storage tanks has been of growing concern in recent years. This problem has been magnified by the addition of oxygenates, such as ethanol and methyl-tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) to ...

3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency
A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Trace Element Content in Soils with Nitrogen Fertilisation and Humic Acids Addition
Application of mineral fertilisers can entail an increase in trace element content in the soil. In consequence, their elevated uptake by plants and transfer to further trophic chain links may occur.
