Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical model to capture the rate of erosion of a silty sand based on the principle of conservation of energy. Erosion is considered to begin when the interparticle bonds between grains are broken ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new behavioral (plasticity) model for lignosulfonate (LS)–treated silty sand based on the disturbed state concept is proposed. Here, the relative intact (RI) responses for both the LS-treated and untreated ...

Abstract: The development of a vertically-segmented, mechanistic mass balance model (Sed2K) for particulate organic matter (POM) diagenesis in lake sediments is described. The model is parsimonious in its requirements for input data ...

Abstract: In an effort to improve plant growth and to achieve high yield and/or quality, irrigation scheduling (IS) seeks to provide plants with appropriate quantities of water at appropriate times. To better understand irrigation ...

Abstract: Diagenesis of particulate organic matter in sediments can have important effects on the dissolved oxygen (DO) resources of lakes and delay potential benefits from reductions in phosphorus (P) loading. A sediment diagenesis ...
