Tough Thermo‐Responsive Composite from PBA‐a and Monomer Grafted UFPNR. ABSTRACT In this study, various types and concentrations of ultrafine fully vulcanized powdered natural rubbers (UFPNR) were evaluated on how they affect the toughness of bisphenol A polybenzoxazine (PBA‐a).

Sanitary landfill covers are exposed to varying environmental conditions; hence, the state of the clay layer also changes from saturated to unsaturated. The study aimed to predict the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the locally available compacted ...

Perched groundwater simulation using the picard iteration‐based always active cell method
Abstract Aquitards within the vadose zone impede vertical infiltration, leading to the formation of saturated perched groundwater. Perched groundwater flows laterally along aquitards, resulting in a heterogeneous spatial distribution of groundwater recharge that significantly influences groundwater formation and evolution.

HYDROLOGICAL AND STABILITY MODELLING OF INITIAL LANDSLIDES TRIGGERING DEBRIS FLOWS IN ASH-FALL DEPOSITS COVERING HILLSLOPES SURROUNDING SOMMA-VESUVIUS (SOUTHERN ITALY). [PDF]
Rainfall-induced debris flows involving ash-fall pyroclastic deposits covering steep mountain slopes that surround the Somma-Vesuvius volcano, are natural events representing the main cause of risk for urban settlements located at footslopes.

Simulator‐Based Bayesian Inference of Enhanced Geothermal Reservoir Properties
Abstract Inversions of dynamic multi‐scale multi‐physics subsurface system properties rely on the effective sampling of high‐dimensional parameter spaces and are thus notoriously difficult to perform. The associated models are defined by complex nonlinear relationships with potentially stochastic components, which lead to analytically intractable ...

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

Investigation of Semi-Empirical Model of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity Based on Some Measurable Physical Soil Properties, Case Study: Baghin Plain, Kerman [PDF]
Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is one of the basic properties of soil that governs the water movement in the field. As application of any of the various available methods in the field deemed impracticable due to its difficulty of implication and high

First Application of a Coastal‐Dune Model (AeoLiS) to Simulate Fluvial‐Aeolian Morphodynamics
Abstract Quantifying aeolian processes is important to decision‐making in river management and for optimizing strategies for ecosystem conservation, natural resource management, and recreation. We applied the AeoLiS aeolian transport model, originally developed for coastal environments, to a dryland river corridor to evaluate its ability to simulate ...
