Impact of Soil Compaction on Bulk Density and Root Biomass of Quercus petraea L. at Reclaimed Post-Lignite Mining Site in Lusatia, Germany

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2015
The impact of soil compaction on bulk density and root biomass of Quercus petraea L. was assessed after 85 years of reclamation of post-lignite mining soil at Welzow-South, in Lusatia, Germany.

Optical Diversity and Nanostructural Organization in the Colored Scales of Sternotomis

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Vivid colors in Sternotomis beetles originate from nanoscale photonic architectures embedded within individual scales. Here, we provide a comparative optical and structural analysis of 57 scale types that reveal how ordered, quasi‐ordered, and disordered 3D networks tune color, saturation, and angular response.

Regression Models for Predicting Bulk Density From Measured Soil Properties

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 1996
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between bulk density and some soil properties, and to develop regression model to estimate bulk density. In this study, generally fine textured 79 soil samples collected from the Erzurum and Daphan Plain were used.

Edible Pouch Motors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

Soil water percolation at different bulk densities

, 2010
Soil structure, and specifically bulk density, porosity and connectivity have strong influence on water transport in the soil. In this work we describe the percolation of a fluid particle through a soil simulating its movement through voxel-thick images of the soil, imposing a downwards movement as a fluid particle randomly delivered from the top of a soil

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

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 ...

Integrated ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic induction offer a non-destructive approach to predict soil bulk density in boreal podzolic soil

Geoderma
Tillage and soil compaction affect soil properties, processes, and state variables influencing soil health, hydrodynamics, and crop growth. Assessing soil compaction levels using traditional methods, such as soil sampling and penetration resistance, is ...

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Expressing the nutrient concentrations of mineral soils

Silva Fennica, 1986
Gravimetrically expressed nutrient concentrations of soil analysis were converted to volumetric values using dry bulk densities measured in the natural state and in the laboratory after air-drying and sieving the samples.
