There are soils that are naturally suppressive toward plant diseases and microorganisms in these soils are proposed to be involved in the suppressiveness (Borneman and Becker 2007; Steinberg et al. 2007).
Using the model, a function for the critical backfill thickness and the wave steepness under various flow and soil conditions is proposed to facilitate engineering practice.
A new method for one-dimensional 1-D) seismic analysis one-dimensional 1-Drone-dimensional 1-D the diseismicions of displanalysis and shear stresses alofg the depth in the free-field with increasoil bedrock motions.
Using the Shannon Information Entropy (IE) as a soil structure metric is proposed to analyze the effect of the particle size distribution (PSD) heterogeneity on soil bulk density values.
According to dimensionless analyses, an ultimate lateral-soil-resistance coefficient is proposed to describe the interaction of the pipe with the sloping sand-bed.
In this study, a soil moisture scaling approach is proposed to estimate directly the correct CRS soil moisture based on the soil moisture profile measured at least in one position within the field.
In addition, a new soil moisture term called SMDS (Soil Moisture Deficit to Saturation) is proposed to complement the conventional SMD (Soil Moisture Deficit).
A dimensionless parameter related to soil porosity and permeability is proposed to reveal its effect on surface and subsurface water flow.
That part of the study raises questions about the E.P.A.'s position: that advances in dredging have all but eliminated the risk that stirred up PCB's could recontaminate the river or nearby soil where the dredging is proposed to take place.
Using the Green Ampt model for layered soils, a theoretical method is proposed to estimate the layers' hydraulic parameters based on infiltration test data.
