New Method for Hydraulic Characterization of Variably Saturated Zone in Peatland-Dominated Permafrost Mires

Land
Modeling peatland hydraulic processes in cold regions requires defining near-surface hydraulic parameters. The current study aims to determine the soil freezing and water characteristic curve parameters for organic soils from peatland-dominated ...

A methodological framework to determine optimum durations for the construction of soil water characteristic curves using centrifugation

Irish Journal of Agricultural and Food Research, 2016
During laboratory assessment of the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), determining equilibrium at various pressures is challenging. This study establishes a methodological framework to identify appropriate experimental duration at each pressure step

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Uncertainty in the determination of soil hydraulic parameters and its influence on the performance of two hydrological models of different complexity [PDF]

, 2009
Data of soil hydraulic properties forms often a limiting factor in unsaturated zone modelling, especially at the larger scales. Investigations for the hydraulic characterization of soils are time-consuming and costly, and the accuracy of the results ...

One-stage Bayesian experimental design optimization for measuring soil-water characteristic curve

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
The direct measurements of soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) are often costly and time-consuming. Therefore, only a limited number of test data can be obtained from a single SWCC test, based on which the estimated SWCC inevitably produces ...

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...
