Since the industrial revolution, human activity has continued to cause significant pollution all over the world. Some of the various pollutants released into the environment take the form of heavy metals. These substances ...

It is well-known, that the detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of basic structural and physical properties of different types of carbon nano - tubes plays a role of continuously increasing importance in ...

No “unique” relation between soil parameters and grading curves of granular matter can be elaborated. In case some statistics are used (e.g., d10), then infinite many grading curves may be related to the same value of it. ...

The four grading entropy coordinates can be used for soil classification on the basis of grain size and the grading curve shape (similarly e.g., to the diameter values). The grading entropy coordinates give information ...

The sand boil is the first stage of a piping failure of river dikes which may form in either free granular soil surface or in areas covered with a less permeable layer that is not thick enough to maintain a balance with ...

The soil’s water and energy balance play a fundamental role in regulating the hydrological cycle and near-surface climatic conditions. Previous studies have demonstrated that coupled heat and moisture transport processes ...

Soil contamination with organic pollutants is one of the most serious environmental problems that can cause serious threat to people and the environment. Phenolic compounds represent a large group of molecules and have ...

Soil contamination with organic pollutants is one of the most serious environmental problems that can cause very serious threats to population and the environment. Therefore, the both experimental-, and modelling type ...
