Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study details the analysis of an assemblage of Funnel Beaker pottery from Wanna in Northern Germany investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and organic residue analyses. The analyses revealed specialized production of pottery vessels for funerary contexts, but that domestic and funerary pottery were used intensively to process ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

On the theory of Brutsaert about elastic wave speeds in unsaturated soils
, 2016 Recently a theoretical model for elastic wave speeds in partially-saturated soils proposed by Brutsaert (and Luthin) in 1964 has been used to investigate the relationship between the elastic wave speeds and the moisture content in soils.

Ecography, EarlyView.Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.

IMPLEMENTATION AND VALIDATION OF A HYDRO-MECHANICAL ELASTOPLASTIC CONSTITUTIVE MODEL FOR FULLY COUPLED ANALYSIS OF UNSATURATED SOILS [PDF]
, 2017 Unsaturated soils are commonly encountered in natural soil deposits above the ground water table and in civil infrastructure construction as compacted soils. In earthquake prone areas, problems arise from dynamic loading of unsaturated soils.

Groundwater, EarlyView.Random forest classification predictions of groundwater hydrochemical facies (HCFs) can be used for multiple purposes, including the mapping of salinity and other groundwater characteristics. Shown on the figure are predictions of HCFs at the water table across the conterminous United States.

Thermo-plasticity in unsaturated soils, a constitutive approach
Research interest in the thermo-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils is growing as a result of an increasing number of geomechanical problems involving both thermal and unsaturated effects.

Leaky Sewers Hydraulically Disconnect from Groundwater: A Proof‐of‐Concept
Groundwater, EarlyView.In this study, we newly demonstrate that leaky pipes can become hydraulically disconnected from the underlying groundwater—a phenomenon analogous to river–groundwater interactions. Through numerical modeling, we show that, as the groundwater table declines, the leakage flux from the pipe (in absolute terms) initially increases until a critical depth ...
