Bayesian truncated beta nonlinear mixed-effects models [PDF]
Truncated regression models arise in many applications where it is not possible to observe values of the response variable that are above or below certain thresholds.

Abstract Capillary barrier is an engineered structure composed of a fine‐grained layer overlying a coarse‐grained layer. However, traditional two‐layer configurations of fine and coarse grains exhibit suboptimal water storage performance in semi‐humid to humid regions.

Abstract Placing moisture store‐release (SR) soil covers over hypersaline tailings has been a promising way to rehabilitate closed tailings storage facilities. However, the performance of SR covers in limiting evaporation‐driven salt migration remains less investigated. A one‐dimensional numerical model that couples the transport of liquid water, water

Tegangan Pori Negatif Sebagai Paramater Stabilitas Lereng Tanah Tak Jenuh (Soil Mechanics on Unsaturated Soil) [PDF]
Tegangan air pori negatif atau suction. Suction maksimum terjadi dekat permukaan tanah pada akhir musim kering sehingga kapasitas infiltrasi maksimum terjadi didekat permukaan tanah selama kering, sebaliknya suction minimum terjadi pada akhir musim ...

Abstract Frost heave and thaw settlement driven by freeze‐thaw cycles in seasonally frozen soils of cold regions are strongly related to water migration. A key parameter controlling water migration in frozen soils is the hydraulic conductivity, which predominantly governs the movement of water under thermal and hydraulic gradients.

The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is the basis for describing seepage, strength, and constitutive model of unsaturated soil. The existing SWCC models do not work accurately for evaluating loess, because they do not consider the pore deformation ...

MED parallel system powered by concentrating solar power (CSP): model and case study: Trapani, Sicily [PDF]
This work presents an overlook on a new model that simulates the physical operation in steady state of a multi-effect distillation (MED) plant with parallel-feed (P) configuration.

Geotechnical Stability Analysis of Dune Face Erosion by Waves
Abstract Predicting the extent of wave‐driven dune erosion under wave impact and elevated water levels will improve our ability to safeguard the livelihood of ecosystems, communities and infrastructure living behind sandy beaches worldwide. However, the geophysical processes leading to time‐dependent dune face failures are still not fully understood ...
