Modeling of evolving textures using granulometries [PDF]
, 2006 This chapter describes a statistical approach to classification of dynamic texture images, called parallel evolution functions (PEFs). Traditional classification methods predict texture class membership using comparisons with a finite set of predefined ...

Near infrared spectroscopy as an easy and precise method to estimate soil texture [PDF]
, 2019 Soil texture is beside soil organic matter the most fundamental soil parameter affecting most biological, chemical, physical soil properties. However, conventional laboratory analyses of soil texture are time-consuming and expensive, calling for ...

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests
Ecography, EarlyView.Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

Numerical Investigation of Methane Transport Within and Around Evolving Cracks
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.A validated model shows that natural gas leakage induces soil deformation and forms three key cracks. When diffusion is low, methane moves mainly along the primary crack, demonstrating how natural fractures reshape pathways and significantly enhance methane migration.
