Effect of dynamic load and water content on failure and energy dissipation characteristics of red sandstone

open access: yesRock and Soil Mechanics, 2022
Dynamic load and groundwater have a significant influence on the safety and stability of engineering rock mass during underground blasting excavation. In order to study the influence of dynamic load and water content on the failure and energy dissipation

Effective Calibration of Low-Cost Soil Water Content Sensors

open access: yesItalian National Conference on Sensors, 2017
Soil water content is a key variable for understanding and modelling ecohydrological processes. Low-cost electromagnetic sensors are increasingly being used to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of soil water content, despite the reduced accuracy ...

Certified reference material to water content determination in bioethanol fuel

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2012
Bioethanol is a strategic biofuel in Brazil. Thus, a strong metrological basis for its measurements is required to ensure the quality and promote its exportation. Recently, Inmetro certified a reference material for water content in bioethanol.

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Combining transient dynamics and logistic‐asymptotic growth to study the recovery of two seabird populations after rat eradication

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

Convolutional Neural Network-Based Soil Water Content and Density Prediction Model for Agricultural Land Using Soil Surface Images

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
For appropriate managing fields and crops, it is essential to understand soil properties. There are drawbacks to the conventional methods currently used for collecting a large amount of data from agricultural lands. Convolutional neural network is a deep

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...
