Advanced Science, EarlyView.Foliar spraying of CS‐CDs can form a film on the leaves of Brassica rapa, effectively reducing the enrichment and absorption of PS in the leaves, while increasing the biomass and nutrient content of the plants. In addition, CS‐CDs can also enrich the interfoliar microbial community and activate the plant's own defense metabolic pathways.

Microstructure-based modeling of snow mechanics: a discrete element approach [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Rapid and large deformations of snow are mainly controlled by grain rearrangements, which occur through the failure of cohesive bonds and the creation of new contacts. We exploit a granular description of snow to develop a discrete element model based on

A Mechanical Test Procedure for Avalanche Snow [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1977 Abstract The design, construction, and testing of a portable constant strain-rate testing machine for determining the mechanical behavior of avalanche snow is described. The machine is intended for use in determining the stress strain time behavior of low-density natural snows in the field.

Making Sense of Standardised Assessment Data: A Response to Snow et al. (2025)
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I write in response to the commentary by Snow et al. (2025) on the paper Are Australian students' academic skills declining? Interrogating 25 years of national and international standardised assessment data published in this journal (Larsen 2024).

Viscoelastic analysis of stress waves through cohesive snow in layered and 2D configurations
Journal of GlaciologyDynamic surface loads generate stress waves in snow that can trigger slab avalanches. Previously, we determined Maxwell-viscoelastic model parameters from one-dimensional, homogeneous laboratory experiments resembling Compression Tests (CTs).

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Soil mechanics papers presented at the Building Research Congress 1951
, 1952 A Building Research Congress was organized in Great Britain in connection with the Festival of Britain during the summer of 1951. Although as first conceived the Congress was a modest enterprise, it developed into an international gathering of real ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Measurements of the mechanical properties of snow are essential for improving our understanding and the prediction of snow failure and hence avalanche release. We performed fracture mechanical experiments in which a crack was initiated by a saw in a weak

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Snow Mechanics Near the Ductile‐Brittle Transition: Compressive Stick‐Slip and Snow Microquakes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 The rate‐dependent mechanical response of snow is commonly believed to directly inherit the ductile‐to‐brittle transition (DBT) from the viscoplastic ice matrix.
