Controls on the temporal and spatial variability of soil moisture in a mountainous landscape: the signature of snow and complex terrain [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2009 The controls on the spatial distribution of soil moisture include static and dynamic variables. The superposition of static and dynamic controls can lead to different soil moisture patterns for a given catchment during wetting, draining, and drying ...

Probabilistic Analysis of Weathered Soil Slope in South Korea
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018 Rainfall is a major trigger of shallow slope failures, and it is necessary to consider the spatial correlation of soil properties for probabilistic analysis of slope stability in heterogeneous soil.

Soil factors and their influence on within-field crop variability II: spatial analysis and determination of management zones [PDF]
, 2003 Spatial variation of crop yields was examined in three trial cereal fields in England from 1994 through 1997. The fields were managed with uniform inputs but there were considerable differences in the spatial patterns and magnitudes of variation between ...

Multiscale Soil Investigations: Physical Concepts And Mathematical Techniques
, 2008 Soil variability has often been considered to be composed of “functional” (explained) variations plus random fl uctuations or noise. However, the distinction between these two components is scale dependent because increasing the scale of ...

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

Evaluation of probabilistic modelling approaches against data on leaching of isoproturon through undisturbed lysimeters [PDF]
, 2004 This study evaluated probabilistic modelling approaches against data on leaching of isoproturon through two contrasting soil types. Leaching through undisturbed lysimeters from a sandy loam (Wick series) and a moderately structured clay loam (Hodnet ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
