Wet Aggregate Stability in Soil v2
, 2023 The wet sieving technique measures the percentage of water-stable aggregates in soils. It is a soil quality assessment analysis. Aggregate stability refers to the ability of soil aggregates to resist disintegration.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Vegetation restoration improved aggregation stability and aggregated-associated carbon preservation in the karst areas of Guizhou Province, southwest China [PDF]
PeerJBackground The change in the soil carbon bank is closely related to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the vegetation litter input can change the soil organic carbon content.

The relationship between plant species richness and soil aggregate stability can depend on disturbance [PDF]
, 2018 Aims: Plant diversity has been shown to significantly increase topsoil aggregate stability of machine-graded ski slopes. We hypothesise that this effect is specific for these disturbed sites and that at sites of low and no disturbance the effect ...

Changes in soil aggregation and glomalin-related soil protein content as affected by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices. [PDF]
, 2009 Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are key organisms of the soil/plant system, influencing soil fertility and plant nutrition, and contributing to soil aggregation and soil structure stability by the combined action of extraradical hyphae and of an ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Impact of initial water content on aggregate stability: a perspective based on soil internal forces
GeodermaThe soil aggregate stability is closely linked soil moisture through its regulation of soil internal forces, such as the van der Waals attractive force, electrostatic repulsion, and surface hydration repulsion.
