Fully undrained cyclic loading simulation on unsaturated soils using an elastoplastic model for unsaturated soils

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Several researchers have reported that Bishop’s mean effective stress decreases in unsaturated soils under fully undrained cyclic loading conditions, and unsaturated soils are finally liquefied in a similar manner as saturated soils.

Designing a Green Roof for Ireland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A model is presented for the gravity-driven flow of rainwater descending through the soil layer of a green roof, treated as a porous medium on a at permeable surface representing an efficient drainage layer. A fully saturated zone is shown to occur.

Spatial Variability of Permafrost and Active Layer Thickness in a Forested Hillslope of the Taiga Shield

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

PENENTUAN NILAI KONDUKTIVITAS HIDROLIK TANAH TIDAK JENUH MENGGUNAKAN UJI RESISTIVITAS DI LABORATORIUM

open access: yesJurnal Teknik Pengairan, 2013
Electrical resistivity can be used to identify geotechnical parameters such as water content, liquid limit, plastic limit and unit weight. It is known that the hydraulic conductivity values can be predicted based on soil properties, so that should be ...

Agricultural and environmental drivers of variation in the composition of food crops: A scoping review

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural management and environmental conditions influence the biochemical composition of food crops; however, the specific drivers of this variation remain insufficiently understood, despite their importance for climate change adaptation and human health.

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Strategic Design of Public Food Procurement to Leverage Positive Food Systems Outcomes: A Framework of Actions

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is substantial potential for the procurement of food by public institutions to contribute to Sustainable Development across multiple environmental, social, and economic outcomes. In this study we used theories of policy instrumentation and learning to analyse global guidance for designing public food procurement instruments to leverage ...
