In situ mixing of organic matter decreases hydraulic conductivity of denitrification walls in sand aquifers [PDF]
, 2008 In a previous study, a denitrification wall was constructed in a sand aquifer using sawdust as the carbon substrate. Ground water bypassed around this sawdust wall due to reduced hydraulic conductivity.

Simulating solute transport in an aggregated soil with the dual-porosity model: measured and optimized parameter values [PDF]
, 1994 The capability of the first-order, dual-porosity model, which explicitly accounts for non-ideal transport caused by the presence of ‘immobile’ water, to predict the non-ideal transport of non-sorbing solute in a constructed aggregated soil has been ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

Lime stabilisation for earthworks: a UK perspective [PDF]
, 2014 Lime stabilisation is a versatile technique applied during earthworks operations. Modern soil recycling units are much more efficient at pulverising fill material and intermixing the added binder/water than machinery available 20 years ago.
