MODELS OF SOIL WATER CHARACTERISTICS CURVES: A REVIEW
FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES, 2022 Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is very important in the study of unsaturated soil because it represents a soil’s ability to store and release water as it is subjected to various soil suctions. This storage of moisture in soil is paramount in irrigation engineering, as it determines the irrigation scheduling in dryland.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Permeability of mixed soft and hard granular material: hydrogels as drainage modifiers [PDF]
, 2011 We measure the flow of water through mixed packings of glass spheres and soft swellable hydrogel grains, at constant sample volume. Permeability values are obtained at constant sample volume and at porosities smaller than random close packing, for ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, a magnetic core‐shell catalyst (HOF‐on‐Fe3O4/ZIF‐67) is successfully synthesized, consisting of a metal–organic framework (ZIF‐67) with magnetic Fe3O4 as the core and a porous hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) as the shell. The catalyst efficiently activated peroxymonosulfate, resulting in rapid and effective removal of water ...

Physical-statistical model for estimation of hysteresis of soil-water characteristic curve
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023 The hysteresis phenomenon is commonly observed associated with both the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and the hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) of unsaturated soils. In other words, the volumetric water content and the hydraulic conductivity

Theoretical analysis of the limiting rate of phreatic evaporation for aeolian sandy soil in Taklimakan Desert [PDF]
, 2008 Phreatic evaporation is a great lose for shallow groundwater in the Taklimakan Desert. Given soil type and groundwater table, the limiting rate of phreatic evaporation is defined as the maximum of water transferred from groundwater to soil surface per ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Discrete modelling of capillary mechanisms in multi-phase granular media [PDF]
, 2009 A numerical study of multi-phase granular materials based upon micro-mechanical modelling is proposed. Discrete element simulations are used to investigate capillary induced effects on the friction properties of a granular assembly in the pendular regime.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
