Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.

Experimental Study on Determining Unsaturated Property of Soil [PDF]
, 1980 This paper deals with the experimental study of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil. In treating unsaturated zone, a great deal more data are required than are required for the saturated zone, but these properties of soils must be known to apply the

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

On the capillary stress tensor in wet granular materials
, 2011 This paper presents a micromechanical study of unsaturated granular media in the pendular regime, based upon numerical experiments using the discrete element method, compared to a microstructural elastoplastic model.

JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Camellia sinensis, widely consumed as tea, is the second most popular beverage globally and is valued for its health benefits. However, environmental stressors pose a significant challenge to the tea industry. This study investigates the potential of shikimic acid (ShA) and its derivative, salicylic acid (SA), as inducers to enhance

A volumetric yield surface for compacted soils based on constant water content testing [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Unsaturated soils exhibit various complex behaviours compared to saturated soils, such as collapse upon wetting. Therefore, understanding the response of unsaturated soils under general field conditions is essential for the design and construction of ...

Influence of Mechanical Yielding on Predictions of Saturation: The Saturation Line [PDF]
, 2017 It is now well accepted that the mechanical and the water retention behaviour of a soil under unsaturated conditions are coupled and, that such coupling, should be incorporated into a constitutive model for a realistic representation of soil’s response ...
