Numerical modeling of volumetric behavior of unsaturated expansive soil under wetting and drying cycles [PDF]
peer reviewedExpansive soils undergo volumetric changes due to moisture variations as a result of soil-atmosphere interaction. In this study, the moisture-induced volumetric changes in unsaturated expansive soil under wetting-drying cycles were modeled ...

Effects of drying and wetting cycles on unsaturated shear strength [PDF]
, 2008 In humid and subtropical regions, for instance, Hong Kong, slope stability is threatened by intense rainfall. Alternate rainfall infiltration and subsequent evaporation cause soil to be constantly subjected to drying and wetting cycles.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

The Recovery of Soils after Compaction: A laboratory investigation into the effect of wet/dry cycles on bulk density and soil hydraulic functions [PDF]
, 2009 Van den Akker et al. (2003) stated that “European subsoils are more threatened than ever in history” in an editorial referring to the results of the European Union concerted action “Experiences with the impact of subsoil compaction on soil crop growth ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.
