Impact of Wet-Dry Cycling on the Phase Behavior and Compartmentalization Properties of Complex Coacervates [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Wet-dry cycling on the early Earth is thought to have facilitated production of molecular building blocks of life, but thus far its impact on self-assembly and compartmentalization of resulting (macro)molecules has been limited. We investigated dehydration/rehydration of complex coacervates, which are membraneless compartments formed by phase ...

Delayed compression and breakage of crushed mudstones due to the drying/wetting and temperature cycles [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoft sedimentary rocks, especially mudstones, disintegrated or crumbled when subjected to cyclic drying and wetting, known as slaking, which was the cause of severe slope failures and ground settlement.

Influence of Soil Wetting and Drying Cycles on Soil Detachment
AgriEngineering, 2022 Agricultural soils undergo periods of saturation followed by desiccation throughout the course of a growing season. It is believed that these periods of wetting and drying influence soil structure and may affect the rate of soil detachment.
