Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]

, 2008
Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.

Effect of Climatic Conditions on Durability of Clayey Soil Stabilized with Lime

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2011
Durability is one of the most important subjects in the soil stabilization. Since there is no specifications concerned the durability of lime-stabilized soils, several factors were selected to show their effects on the durability, namely: wetting, drying,

Slaking mechanisms of a mudstone and prediction of its number-size distribution considering shape evolution

Soils and Foundations
The wide distribution of mudstone poses challenges to efficient construction and safe long-term maintenance of infrastructure, primarily due to its susceptibility to slaking.

Towards a better understanding of hot-mixed mortars for the conservation of historic buildings: the role of water temperature and steam during lime slaking

Heritage Science, 2021
According to various historic accounts and material evidence, the practice of producing lime mortars by mixing the quicklime with the sand (i.e. hot-mixing) before first slaking it with water was much more common in the past centuries than appreciated by

Big deal - good deal? Or is there a better deal? [PDF]

, 2003
The purchase by library consortia of all journals published by one publisher - the so-called Big Deal - is bad for small publishers and for large libraries even if - in the short-term - good for large publishers and for small libraries.

Estimating soil aggregate stability with infrared spectroscopy and pedotransfer functions

Soil Security, 2023
Soil aggregate stability is an important indicator of soil condition and is directly related to soil degradation processes such as erosion and crusting.

Experimental study on moisture migration law of soils under dynamic slaking conditions

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Understanding the moisture migration mechanisms in railway subgrade soils under dynamic slaking (D-S) is critical for elucidating the formation mechanisms of frost heave and mud pumping defects in heavy-haul railways.

Modeling, simulation, and analysis of a reactor system for the generation of white liquor of a pulp and paper industry

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011
An industrial system for the production of white liquor of a pulp and paper industry, Klabin Paraná Papéis, formed by ten reactors was modeled, simulated, and analyzed. The developed model considered possible water losses by the evaporation and reaction,
