Visible and near infrared spectroscopy in soil science [PDF]
This chapter provides a review on the state of soil visible–near infrared (vis–NIR) spectroscopy. Our intention is for the review to serve as a source of up-to date information on the past and current role of vis–NIR spectroscopy in soil science.

Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

SWRC Fit and unsatfit for parameter determination of unsaturated soil properties [PDF]
SWRC Fit and unsatfit are programs developed for determining parameters of the water retention and the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity functions of soils for analyzing water movement in the unsaturated soil. The SWRC Fit is a web application for drawing SWRC (soil water retention curves) of various soil hydraulic models from the measured data with ...

Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil
The Alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to climatic changes, which have an influence on glaciers, snow, vegetation and soils. The aim of this review is to illustrate the effects of global change on the Alpine soil ecosystem, which is an optimal marker to ...

A Deep Learning Approach for Predicting Two-dimensional Soil Consolidation Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) [PDF]
Soil consolidation is closely related to seepage, stability, and settlement of geotechnical buildings and foundations, and directly affects the use and safety of superstructures. Nowadays, the unidirectional consolidation theory of soils is widely used in certain conditions and approximate calculations.

Don't throw efficiency out with the bathwater: A reply to Jeffery and Verheijen (2020) [PDF]
In this paper, I reply to the recent article by Jeffery and Verheijen (2020) 'A new soil health policy paradigm: Pay for practice not performance!'. While expressing support for their call for a more pronounced role of soil protection in agri-environmental policy, I critically discuss the two main elements of their specific proposal: its emphasis of ...
