Is there a close association between "soils" and "vegetation"? : A case study from central western New South Wales [PDF]
, 2007 The assumption that ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’ are closely associated was tested by describing soils and vegetation along a Travelling Stock Reserve west of Grenfell, New South Wales (lat 33° 55’S, long 147° 45’E). The transect was selected on the basis of

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 14, April 3, 2025.A microfluidic pump and microscale container for fast redox reactions are integrated into a micro‐Swiss‐roll structure via the micro‐origami. Therefore, the twin‐Swiss‐roll microbattery efficiently extracts water and soluble Zn2+ and Mn2+ ions in the wet soil, delivering a stable voltage exceeding 1 V and more than 40 times the energy of soil microbial

Soil Fragmentation and Friability. Effects of Soil Water and Soil Management [PDF]
, 2002 Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in most tillage operations in order to create a soil environment favourable for crop establishment and growth. Soils vary around the world from those exhibiting a self-mulching nature to those of a hardsetting nature ...

The soil quality concept and its importance in the study of Finnish arable soils [PDF]
, 2002 Arable soil is a functional unit whose condition is vital to crop production, but also to ecosystems at large owing to the significant role of soil in global nutrient cycles and balances.

3D Bimetallic Platinum‐Nickel Electrodes for Electro‐Oxidation of Glycerol at Ambient Conditions
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 14, April 3, 2025.This study presents a Ni foam electrode with Pt nanodendrites for glycerol oxidation, achieving 235 mA cm−2 at 0.92 V versus RHE and >92% C3 selectivity, including 64% lactic acid. The findings highlight the role of Ni in altering the activity and stability of Pt catalysts, advancing the development of low‐platinum electrodes for sustainable glycerol ...

Experimental unsaturated soil mechanics [PDF]
3rd International Conference on Unsaturated Soils, Recife :
Br\'esil (2002), 2008 In this general report, experimental systems and procedures of investigating the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils are presented. The water retention properties of unsaturated soils are commented and linked to various physical parameters and properties of the soils.

Superlubricious Surfaces Through Surface Attached Hydrogels Obtained by C,H‐insertion Crosslinking
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Taking synovial joints as a source of inspiration, the friction properties of surfaces covered with 1d‐swelling polyelectrolyte hydrogels in combination with a shear‐thinning aqueous lubricant are studied. Such systems obtained by C,H insertion crosslinking show superlubricious behavior, even surpassing the friction values reported for the natural ...
