Influence of absolute soil humidity on the porosity of soil packing
Traktory i sel hozmashiny, 2012 The influence of absolute soil humidity on the porosity of soil packing is shown. It is noted that soil porosity will be reduced at the expense of decreasing of air pores and increasing of solid particles volume as a result of soil compression with mover, strake, block etc. at constant humidity. The analysis of obtained models is given.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Effect of Porosity on Soil-Water Retention Curves: Theoretical and Experimental Aspects
Geofluids, 2020 Porosity change is a common characteristic of natural soils in fluid-solid interaction problems, which can lead to an obvious change of the soil-water retention curve (SWRC).

Subsoil Compaction: A hidden form of Soil Sealing in Europe [PDF]
, 2001 There are two definitions of ‘soil sealing’: (I) ‘covering (sealing) the soil surface by impervious materials, e.g. concrete, metal, glass, tarmac and plastic’; and (II) ‘changing the nature of the soil such that it behaves as an impermeable medium, e ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.
