SUCTION MEASUREMENTS AND WATER RETENTION IN UNSATURATED SOILS [PDF]
, 2008 Techniques for testing unsaturated soils have been investigated by the author where the measurement and control of parameters were undertaken directly. Suction was measured and controlled with a new high suction tensiometer and water content through mass

Ecography, EarlyView.The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This review is about material design based on engineering multilevel sites from theoretical calculation and synthetic routes to mechanism, structure–activity relationship, challenges and perspectives for boosting hydrogen production in alkaline electrolyte. Electrolytic water splitting is a clean, carbon‐free method for producing green hydrogen and has

Archaeometry, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost ...

Use of a genetic algorithm to perform reliability analysis of unsaturated soil slopes [PDF]
, 2009 Rainfall induced landslides are a major cause of disturbance to transport networks in many parts of the world. In slopes where the water table is some depth below the ground surface, negative pore water pressure (suctions) develop in the near surface ...

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.

Using a linked soil model emulator and unsaturated zone leaching model to account for preferential flow when assessing the spatially distributed risk of pesticide leaching to groundwater in England and Wales [PDF]
, 2004 Although macropore flow is recognized as an important process for the transport of pesticides through a wide range of soils, none of the existing spatially distributed methods for assessing the risk of pesticide leaching to groundwater account for ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study systematically investigates the fracture development mechanisms of water‐isolating soil layers under the coupled effects of repeated mining and groundwater seepage during the downward mining of shallow‐buried coal seams. The findings provide a theoretical basis for evaluating stratum stability and preventing roof water inrush.
