Dokuchaev Soil Bulletin, 2016 The main advantages of applying computed tomography to studying soil samples include non-invasiveness, independence of the moisture content in the samples and the possibility for mathematical modelling. The methodological problems of this imaging technique include restrictions of the sample size, resolution limitations and segmentation difficulties.

Los suelos, una nueva frontera para el conocimiento y las políticas ambientales
Revue d'anthropologie des connaissances, 2020 Despite its vital importance for ecosystems and societies, soil largely remains understood as an inert base, a backdrop for the biological and social life that exists at its surface. This special issue looks at the dynamics of production, circulation and

Soils: A new frontier for environmental knowledge and policies
Revue d'anthropologie des connaissances, 2020 Despite its vital importance for ecosystems and societies, the social sciences continue to understand soil largely as an inert base, a backdrop for the biological and social life that exists at its surface.

The “Soil Skills” Pedagogical Approach Conjugated With Soil Judging Contests
Spanish Journal of Soil Science, 2023 The inherent complexity of soil and its interactions with Earth’s diverse spheres, including the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere within the ecosphere, and anthroposphere, requires that soil science specialists and students develop not ...

Traction of Interlocking Spikes on a Granular Material [PDF]
Earth and Space 2022, 18th Biennial International Conference on
Engineering, Science, Construction, and Operations in Challenging
Environments, 2022 The interlock drive system generates traction by inserting narrow articulated spikes into the ground and by leveraging the soil's strength to resist horizontal draft forces. The system promises high tractive performance in low gravity environments where tires have little traction for lack of weight.

Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil
Journal of Forest Science, 2015 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 ...

SWRC Fit and unsatfit for parameter determination of unsaturated soil properties [PDF]
Journal of Toyo University Natural Science 68: 57-79 (2024), 2023 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 ...

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 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 ...

A Deep Learning Approach for Predicting Two-dimensional Soil Consolidation Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) [PDF]
, 2022 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.
