JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Biofertilization with plant growth‐promoting bacteria (PGPB) is a reliable strategy to reduce the amounts of chemical fertilizers applied to crops. Nevertheless, the effects of biofertilizers on plant chemical constituents that influence food quality and human health should be evaluated.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Numerical Simulations of Gravity-Driven Fingering in Unsaturated Porous Media Using a Non-Equilibrium Model [PDF]
, 2010 This is a computational study of gravity-driven fingering instabilities in unsaturated porous media. The governing equations and corresponding numerical scheme are based on the work of Nieber et al. [Ch. 23 in Soil Water Repellency, eds. C. J.

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Consolidation Apparatus for Testing Unsaturated Soils
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1996 Abstract An apparatus for performing consolidation tests under K0 conditions was designed and constructed for testing unsaturated soils. Three types of consolidation tests are of interest in unsaturated soils. These are: (1) constant water content loading tests, (2) consolidation under a net total stress, and (3) consolidation under a ...

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.This study examines corrosion of copper and cast iron as candidate canister materials for high‐level radioactive waste disposal in contact with bentonite suspension. The influence of three electrolyte compositions on corrosion behavior under repository‐relevant conditions is assessed.
