Suction tests on sliding soil in interface landslide based on filter paper method

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
Suction is a decisive factor to control the state of unsaturated soils. The filter paper method is an indirect method for measuring suction, which has the advantages of low cost, large measuring range and high precision.

Modelling the effect of heterogeneities on suction distribution behaviour in tropical residual soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The formation of tropical residual soils introduces heterogeneities in soil mantle. While the hydraulic conductivity of Grade VI soil is controlled only by the variation at the material scale i.e.

The plastic limit of clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The plastic limit of soils was first described by Atterberg in 1911. The thread-rolling test was standardised at the US Public Roads Bureau in the 1920s and 1930s, and has subsequently become one of the standard tests of soil mechanics.

Oral Cryptococcosis due to Naganishia diffluens in a Patient With Thalassemia: A Case Report and a Literature Review

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Naganishia diffluens, a rare non‐neoformans cryptococcal species, was identified by PCR sequencing as the causative agent of oral cryptococcosis in a 31‐year‐old Iranian man with β‐thalassemia. This case represents the first documented instance of oral infection by N.

Botanical treatment enhances biochemical responses in enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) clones

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

Insect‐resistant soybean genotypes accumulate rutin and its O‐methylated derivative narcissin, a more potent flavonol targeting Anticarsia gemmatalis digestive and detoxification enzymes and reducing larval survival

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

Suction variations and soil fabric of swelling compacted soils

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2010
AbstractThis study addresses firstly the soil fabric variations of loose and dense compacted soil samples during a single wetting/drying cycle at suctions between 0 and 287.9MPa using mainly the mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests. Two suction techniques were employed to apply this wide suction range: the osmotic technique for suctions less than ...
