Water as a Reagent for Soil Remediation [PDF]
SRI International conducted experiments in a two-year, two-phase process to develop and evaluate hydrothermal extraction technology, also known as hot water extraction (HWE) technology, to separate petroleum-related contaminants and other hazardous pollutants from soil and sediments.

A novel approach using partially cross‐linked elastomers with conductive carbon black achieves long‐term adhesion and high‐quality signal capture for surface electromyography (sEMG) electrodes. The optimized electrodes demonstrate excellent skin compliance, robust performance through repeated use, and potential applications in wearable biomedical ...

The use of soil electrical resistivity to monitor plant and soil water relationships in vineyards.
. Soil water availability deeply affects plant physiology. In viticulture it is considered a major contributor to the "terroir" effect. The assessment of soil water in field conditions is a difficult task, especially over large surfaces.

Biodegradable RF Metamaterial Perfect Absorber for Wireless Soil pH Monitoring
This study proposes a wireless soil pH sensor using a sheet‐type perfect absorber metamaterial. This sensor has a uniform water‐soluble Mg film at the bottom coated with hydroxyapatite that degrades depending on the pH, and a periodic square split ring resonator metamaterial structure made on top of a lossy dielectric plate.

Water withdrawal from deep soil layers: a key strategy to sustain growth during dry seasons in tropical Eucalyptus plantations [PDF]
Little is known about the role of very deep roots to supply the water requirements of tropical forests. Clonal Eucalyptus plantations managed in short rotation on very deep Ferralsols are simple forest ecosystems (only 1 plant genotype growing on a ...
