Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Erosion Mechanisms in Unpaved Roads: Effects of Slope, Rainfall, and Soil type
Air, Soil and Water ResearchErosion is the main cause of damage to unpaved roads. This study utilized rainfall simulators to quantify erosion on unpaved roads, controlling variables such as rainfall intensity and slope. A laboratory model of an unpaved road was utilized to evaluate

Rangewide responses of Mimulus cardinalis to an extreme heat event
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Extreme events are an understudied aspect of ongoing anthropogenic climate change that could play a disproportionate role in the threat that rapid environmental shifts pose to natural populations. Methods We exposed plants originating from seeds that were harvested before (ancestors) and after (descendants) multiple extreme heat events

Improving the Hydraulic and Chemical Properties of Sandy Soil by Using a Mixture of Biochar and Clay
iRASD Journal of Energy & EnvironmentIn recent years, food demand has risen due to rapid population surge. Meeting this food demand means more land is supposed to be cultivated. Yet, there are many areas in Sindh, Pakistan, particularly “Thar,” where crop yield is inadequate due to the ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Yield performances of tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum) on organic manure buffered lateritic soils
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2018 Lateritic soils are found in many farms even though they have not been known to be encouragingly productive to farmers because of their non-supportive of agricultural products.

The dielectric properties of soil-water mixtures at microwave frequencies [PDF]
Recent measurements on the dielectric constants of soil-water mixtures show the existence of two frequency regions in which the dielectric behavior of these mixtures was quite different. At the frequencies of 1.4 GHz to 5 GHz, there were strong evidences

Wheat growth and phytoavailability of copper and zinc as affected by soil texture in saline-sodic conditions [PDF]
, 2011 Nutrient disorders in saline-sodic soils can adversely affect crop growth. In order to evaluate the growth response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to Cu and Zn and the phytoavailability of these essential elements, a pot experiment was conducted in ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In epidemiological studies, obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and

Movement of seed- and soil-applied fluopyram in soil columns
Journal of Nematology, 2019 The movement of seed- and soil-applied fluopyram was evaluated in soil columns. The nematicide was sampled at three soil depths and used in a nematode motility bioassay.
