Deep roots and soil structure [PDF]
In this opinion article we examine the relationship between penetrometer resistance and soil depth in the field. Assuming that root growth is inhibited at penetrometer resistances > 2.5 MPa, we conclude that in most circumstances the increases in penetrometer resistance with depth are sufficiently great to confine most deep roots to elongating in ...

Mycorrhizas and soil structure [PDF]
SummaryIn addition to their well‐recognized roles in plant nutrition and communities, mycorrhizas can influence the key ecosystem process of soil aggregation. Here we review the contribution of mycorrhizas, mostly focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to soil structure at various hierarchical levels: plant community; individual root; and the ...

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction can generate excessive damage to building structures due to significant reduction in soil effective stress. With increasing urbanisation and population growth, the performance of closely spaced buildings, such as those in towns and cities, is of greater concern where structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) may ...

Identification of Group II Intron RmInt1 Binding Sites in a Bacterial Genome
RmInt1 is a group II intron encoding a reverse transcriptase protein (IEP) lacking the C-terminal endonuclease domain. RmInt1 is an efficient mobile retroelement that predominantly reverse splices into the transient single-stranded DNA at the template ...

Comparison of Fuzzy and ANN models performance for monthly flow forecast using short time data [PDF]
Regarding the bottom outlet gates, the optimal hydraulic design to ensure non-occurrence of destructive vibrations is very important. Forces inserted into the gates due to the flow with high hydrostatic pressure under the gates may cause creation of ...

EVALUATE BRICK UNITS BY ULTRASONIC WAVES
Wide laboratory search was done to evaluate brick units in single, and test the prisms built from brick unit by use ultrasonic waves in non-destructive test. The results show that the pulse velocity increases with increasing compressive strength and time
