Rainfall Infiltration and Macropores in a Hillside Slope [PDF]

, 1990
Infiltration tests and a soil survey made on the slope of a hilly region indicate that the infiltration rate of rainwater decreased rapidly after rain began, that the final infiltration rate was too large for the prevailing soil character, and that ...

‘It's all very well having a diverse curriculum, but if there is no curriculum, it can be as diverse as you like’: Precarity and decolonising in the neoliberal UK higher education system

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing upon interview research across two academic departments as part of the early stages of a ‘decolonise the curriculum’ initiative at a Southern UK university, this study highlights a growing gulf between policy and practice in efforts to address systemic racial inequalities in UK universities. A reliance upon precarious labour, a culture

Steady Infiltration in Heterogeneous Soil

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018
In this study, problems involving steady infiltration from periodic channels in heterogeneous soils are considered. The problems are governed by a Richards's equation. To study the problems, the equation is transformed into a modified Helmholtz equation.

Saturated hydraulic conductivity determined by on ground mono-offset Ground-Penetrating Radar inside a single ring infiltrometer

, 2013
In this study we show how to use GPR data acquired along the infiltration of water inside a single ring infiltrometer to inverse the saturated hydraulic conductivity. We used Hydrus-1D to simulate the water infiltration.

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Soil Water Infiltration of Artificial Platycladus orientalis of Nanshan Mountain in Lanzhou Under Different Rainfall and Rainfall Intensity

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] Precipitation is the main source of soil water in arid and semi-arid regions. By combining field observation and model simulation to study the regularity of rainfall infiltration, the soil water deficit can be mastered more systematically ...

Evaluation of the Land Surface Water Budget in NCEP/NCAR and NCEP/DOE Reanalyses using an Off-line Hydrologic Model [PDF]

, 2001
The ability of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) reanalysis (NRA1) and the follow-up NCEP/Department of Energy (DOE) reanalysis (NRA2), to reproduce the hydrologic budgets over the ...

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Estimating the Infiltration Parameters Using the Fractal Model of Rieu and Sposito

علوم آب و خاک, 2019
Quantitative description of the spatial variability of soil hydraulic characteristics is crucial for planning, management and the optimum application. Field measurement of infiltration is very expensive, time-consuming and laborious.

Slurry infiltration tests for slurry shield tunnelling in saturated sand [PDF]

, 2016
Tunnelling in saturated sand will cause excess pore pressures in the sand. This was the case during the construction of all tunnels in the Netherlands. This excess pore pressure influences the stability of the tunnel face.
