Statistical Characterization of Bare Soil Surface Microrelief

, 2014
Because the soil surface occurs at the boundary between the atmosphere and the pedosphere, it plays an important role for geomorphologic processes. Roughness of soil surface is a key parameter to understand soil properties and physical processes related to substrate movement, water infiltration or runoff, and soil erosion.

FEATURES OF TRANSITION MODES OF FRICTION SURFACES WITH PARTIALLY REGULAR MICRORELIEF

Aviation, 2018
Textured surfaces with partially regular micro relief (PRMR) are reported to be an effective means to control lublication. It was found they are good wear debris trap and suppliers of lubricant directly to the actual friction area. Their tribological properties depend on the clearance between mating surfaces, relative slip speed, direction of motion ...

Next Generation Smart Implant Surfaces: Engineering Multifunctional Antimicrobial, Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Interfaces

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Natural‐inspired nano‐textured implant surfaces can be functionalised to modulate macrophage polarisation and local immune responses. This bioactive control promotes improved tissue integration and healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Dental implants rely on a stable and functional interface between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the oral ...

Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

Correlation method of processing the image of the surface microrelief to determine its roughness

Физика волновых процессов и радиотехнические системы
Background. The analysis of the results of the use of various machines and mechanisms in the national economy has shown that the roughness of the microrelief of their working surfaces largely determines the reliability and durability of their operation ...

Changes in the three-dimensional microscale topography of human skin with aging impact its mechanical and tribological behavior.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Human skin enables interaction with diverse materials every day and at all times. The ability to grasp objects, feel textures, and perceive the environment depends on the mechanical behavior, complex structure, and microscale topography of human skin. At

Limited restoration of plant microbiomes: insights from fungal assemblages of a peatland dominant

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants are not solitary organisms; they host diverse and largely unexplored microbiomes that shape their health, adaptability, and ecosystem roles. Recent environmental sequencing findings have revealed that each plant species harbors a unique fungal assemblage.

A Field Guide for Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Olive Orchards Across Mediterranean Conditions for End‐Users and Stakeholders

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9202-9221, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.

Planar Non-Uniformity of Regular and Partially Regular Microreliefs and Method for Its Evaluation

Eng
Based on the analysis of grooves of regular and partially regular microreliefs formed on flat surfaces, the relationship between the geometric parameters of the grooves of their microreliefs, which ensures their regularity, was revealed.
