Abstract:
Lunar soils gradually become mature when they are exposed to a space environment, and nanophase metallic iron (npFe0) generates within them. npFe0 significantly changes the optical properties of lunar soils and affects the interpretation of the remotely sensed data of the lunar surface. In this study, a correlation analysis was conducted between npFe0 abundance and reflectance spectra at short wavelengths for lunar soil samples in four size groups based on their spectral and compositional data, collected by the Lunar Soil Characterization Consortium (LSCC).

Abstract:
The grain-size distribution is commonly used for soil classification; however, there is also potential to use the grain-size distribution as a basis for estimating soil behaviour. For example, much emphasis has recently been placed on the estimation of the soil-water characteristic curve. Many methods proposed in the literature use the grain-size distribution as a starting point to estimate the soil-water characteristic curve. Two mathematical forms are presented to represent grain-size distribution curves, namely, a unimodal form and a bimodal form. The proposed equations provide methods for

Abstract:
Faba bean is an important grain legume crop in the world. Use of plant genetic breeding resources can help develop high yield and stress tolerant plant genotypes. In this study, genetic diversity of 144 faba bean accessions, collected from different parts of the world growing under Saudi Arabian conditions, was evaluated based on agro morphological basis. A wide range of variability was recorded for all the qualitative characters except growth habit (determinate 1.3% indeterminate 98.7%) and pod shattering (non-shattering 99.4%; shattering 0.6%). A high level of diversity was recorded in the q

Abstract:
China is vigorously promoting green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable agricultural practices, with a strong emphasis on the efficient recycling of biomass resources. In particular, in the field of fertilizer use, the country has clearly stated the need to reduce the application of chemical fertilizers, improve fertilizer use efficiency, and promote the substitution of chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers. This study aims to explore the effects of different application rates of biochar-based organic fertilizers on soil-available nutrients, corn growth, and the inhibition of ca

Abstract:
Drying and wetting soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) for five sandy soils are investigated using a Tempe pressure cell and capillary rise open tube. The test data are fitted to two SWCC equations using a least-squares algorithm. The obtained fitting parameters and some hysteretic behaviour are discussed and correlated with grain-size distribution parameters. A concept of total hysteresis is proposed to quantify the hysteresis of SWCC. The measured SWCC for one soil is also compared with the SWCC estimated from its grain-size distribution. The SWCC was also obtained at a high dry density

Abstract:
Fractal mass distribution of expansive soil grains is studied in this paper. It is found that there is different fractal mass distribution exponent of the grain-size distribution for different genesis of expansive soils. The expansiveness, physical properties and mechanical properties of expansive soils can be quantitatively described by the fractal mass distribution exponent of grain-size distribution of expansive soils. In consolidated tests, the fractal mass distribution exponent increases with increases in consolidated pressure, as well as increases in confining pressure in triaxial tests.

Grain size distribution of soil determines much of water and physical properties of the soil mass. However, it defines ecological functions and morphological memory of soils in the study of their genesis, evolution and use. This article describes the main methods of particle size analysis and suggests the modern methods used increasingly in the research in soil science, geology, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries.

Abstract:
This paper describes a mathematical model for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of partially frozen soils on the basis of limited input data such as grain size distribution and bulk density or porosity. A new model is based on an analogy for the hydraulic conductivity of frozen and unfrozen soils and models for the estimation of hydraulic properties of soils and unfrozen water content. Campbell's model was used for prediction of soil-water characteristics from limited data, while unfrozen water content was obtained from two models (by P.J. Williams and D.M. Anderson) applied to two differe

Abstract. Explosive volcanic eruptions are commonly characterized based on a thorough analysis of the generated deposits. Amongst other characteristics in physical volcanology, density and porosity of juvenile clasts are some of the most frequently used to constrain eruptive dynamics. In this study, we evaluate the sensitivity of density and porosity data to statistical methods and introduce a weighting parameter to correct issues raised by the use of frequency analysis. Results of textural investigation can be biased by clast selection. Using statistical tools as presented here, the meaningfu

Abstract:
Grain size and grain distribution by size are dominant factors determining soil behaviour. The shape and position of a grain distribution curve contain implicit information about the propensity of sand boiling or piping at flood conditions. The author used 1040-grain distribution curves taken from 12 sand boil locations to study the relationship between sand boils, hydraulic soil failures and entropy. The results have justified the hypotheses and indicated some fairly important details for practical consideration. Calculating grain distribution entropy is not ?magic? with mathematics: it simpl

Today the issue of energy saving is acute. The main sources of energy are radiant energy of the Sun, wind energy, energy of moving water. Therefore, the issue of solving alternative energy sources is relevant. The article aims to solve the problem by using low-potential heat of the soil mass by means of energy-efficient building constructions - foundations. It is necessary to know the thermal characteristics of soils for this. At the moment, methods for determining the thermophysical properties of inert materials with subsequent practical application in the field of construction have been wide
