American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Since its emergence in the Mesozoic, Sequoia (Cupressaceae) has been considered to possess conserved leaf morphology. However, recent studies have shown that the leaves of extant S. sempervirens become smaller, with a scale form, with increasing tree height.

Stress-dilatancy Relation for Mohr-Coulomb Soils Following a Non-Associated Flow Rule
, 2010 Rowe\u27s stress–dilatancy relation for frictional (cohesionless) materials has been a cornerstone of soil mechanics. The original derivation of this relationship was based on incorrect energy minimisation considerations, but the relationship was proven ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.

Dependence of the phosphate sorption capacity on the aluminium and iron in Finnish soils
Agricultural and Food Science, 1963 An attempt was made to study to what extent the capacity of the more or less acid soils in Finland to sorb phosphate may be explained on the basis of their content of aluminium and iron.

MODELLING OF PILED RAFT FOUNDATIONS IN SAND
, 2010 A piled raft is a composite foundation in which the piles are used as settlement reducers and they share, with the raft, the load from the superstructure.

Ground compaction due to vibrodriving of piles [PDF]
, 1996 Civil engineering construction frequently requires the use of piles to carry structural loads to stronger ground strata or to control lateral ground movements. A variety of techniques are available to install piles into the ground. Of central interest to

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Analysis of the Shaft Resistance of Nondisplacement Piles in Sand
, 2008 The paper examines, using numerical modelling, the problem of the limit shaft resistance of non-displacement piles installed in sands. The modelling makes use of an advanced, two-surface-plasticity constitutive model.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Laboratory and numerical based analysis of floating sand columns in clayey soil
International Journal of Geo-Engineering, 2019 The inclusion of sand columns results in enhancing the bearing capacity of clayey soil, increase the rate of consolidation, presentation of liquefaction in loose sandy soils and provide lateral resistance against the horizontal movement.
