A methodological framework to determine optimum durations for the construction of soil water characteristic curves using centrifugation

open access: yesIrish Journal of Agricultural and Food Research, 2016
During laboratory assessment of the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), determining equilibrium at various pressures is challenging. This study establishes a methodological framework to identify appropriate experimental duration at each pressure step

Rapid prediction method of soil-water characteristic curve of Yan’an compacted loess

open access: yesRock and Soil Mechanics, 2022
The traditional SWCC test method is time-consuming, and it is of great practical significance to develop a method that can quickly determine the SWCC of unsaturated soil.

Truncated beta nonlinear regression models for soil-water characteristic curves estimation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We propose an alternative approach for estimating soil-water characteristic curves based on truncated beta nonlinear regression models. Thus, assuming that the response variable follows a truncated beta distribution.

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation

Evaluation Model of Soil Water Characteristic Curve of Red Clay Based on Dielectric Theory [PDF]

open access: yes长江科学院院报
[Objective] The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) can effectively reflect the relationship between soil water suction (matric potential) and water content, yet conventional testing methods pose challenges for the calibration of in situ soil ...

Suction Measurement of Bentonite Using Filter Paper Technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bentonite is used as buffer material in nuclear waste disposal for which its characteristics should be studied. Soil - water characteristics curve (SWCC) is important to understand the unsaturated soil behaviour.

Self‐Sintering Ionogel Binder for Flexible, Recyclable, and Healable Printed Giant Magnetoresistive Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

One-stage Bayesian experimental design optimization for measuring soil-water characteristic curve

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
The direct measurements of soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) are often costly and time-consuming. Therefore, only a limited number of test data can be obtained from a single SWCC test, based on which the estimated SWCC inevitably produces ...
