Evaluation of soil thermal conductivity schemes for use in land surface modeling [PDF]
Soil thermal conductivity is an important physical parameter in modeling land surface processes. Previous studies on evaluations of parameterization schemes of soil thermal conductivity are mostly based on specific experimental conditions or local soil samples, and their recommendations may not be the optimal schemes for land surface model (LSMs).

Data on One-dimensional Vertical Free Swelling Potential of Soils and Related Soil Properties [PDF]
Most of the damaging geo-hazards recorded in modern history are caused by soil swelling or expansion. Therefore, proper evaluation of a soils capacity to swell is very crucial for the achievement of a secure and safe foundation for civil infrastructure.

The physical effects of an intra-aggregate structure on soil shrinkage [PDF]
Clay and soil containing it have shrinkage curves that are qualitatively different in shape. The objective of this work is to qualitatively show with maximum simplicity, how a clay shrinkage curve turns into a soil shrinkage curve. Because of the crack volume the measured shrinkage curve is not the single-valued feature of a soil.

Flood variation and soil nutrient content in floodplain vegetation communities in the Okavango Delta
We investigated the influence of hydroperiod variation on soil nutrient content in the Okavango Delta seasonal floodplains. Soil samples were collected from eight zones of homogenous vegetation cover after low and high floods and analysed for pH, Na ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Assessment of Physical Properties of Water Repellent Soils [PDF]
This note presents a comprehensive characterization of physical and mechanical properties of water repellent (hydrophobic) soil collected from Cleveland National Forest in California immediately after the Holy Fire, 2018, and delineates comparisons with chemically induced hydrophobic sand in the laboratory.

Optimal soil sampling design based on the maxvol algorithm [PDF]
Spatial soil sampling is an integral part of a soil survey aimed at creating a soil map. We propose considering the soil sampling procedure as a task of optimal design. In practical terms, optimal experiments can reduce experimentation costs, as they allow the researcher to obtain one optimal set of points.

Changes in Soil Aggregate Stability Induced by Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizer Application
The stability of soil aggregates is one of the most important characteristics of the soil affecting the overall soil quality and its health. In locality Březová nad Svitavou, experiment to reveal the effect of nitrogen dose on the stability of soil ...
