A Novel Frequency Domain Impedance Sensor with a Perforated Cylinder Coaxial Design for In-Situ Measuring Soil Matric Potential

Sensors, 2019
Soil matric potential is an important parameter for agricultural and environmental research and applications. In this study, we developed a novel sensor to determine fast and in-situ the soil matric potential.

Modeling the Soil Shrinkage and Water Retention Curves with the Same Equations

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2006
Recent studies underlined the likeness of soil water retention (WRC) and shrinkage curves (ShC) with respect to their shapes. This paper aims at experimentally discussing the possible use of the same equations to fit them. The WRC (on the tensiometric range) and ShC were simultaneously determined on a series made of 28 undisturbed soil cores collected ...

Soil Water Retention Curves of Three Different Soils using Different Methods

, 2022
The corrosion of metals in soils is a serious concern. To protect underground foundations, steel, and cast-iron pipes from corrosion, traditional galvanized coatings are not sufficiently effective in the long term. Alternative coatings, therefore, need to be evaluated.

Factors affecting the soil–water retention curve of Chinese loess

, 2021
Loess is unsaturated soil that occurs in various locations on the surface of the Earth, and it is most widespread in the Chinese Loess Plateau where it has caused many geotechnical problems and geohazards.

Characterizing soil shrinkage and soil-water retention behaviors of clayey soils with pore-size distribution and microstructure evolution

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The soil-water retention and soil shrinkage characteristics are both crucial constitutive relations for unsaturated soils. Although existing research has explored the correlation between these two characteristics to some extent, the underlying mechanisms

An In Situ Oxidation Strategy for Ti3C2@TiO2 Heterojunction: Narrow‐Band Photodetection and Trace Chromium Ion Determination

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Ti3C2@TiO2 heterostructure has been successfully fabricated by an in situ oxidation approach. The as‐fabricated Ti3C2@TiO2‐based photodetector exhibits narrow‐spectrum response with excellent stability. It also realizes sensitive Cr(VI) detection in a large concentration range of 10−12–10−6 M with an ultra‐low detection limit of 7.6 × 10−12 M ...

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.
