AN ITERATIVE PROGRAM TO BACK ANALYZE GRAIN-SIZE DISTRIBUTION FROM A PREDETERMINED SOIL-WATER CHARACTERISTIC CURVE
(2022-06-22)Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is the relationship between matric suction and water content. The SWCC is the most important property in unsaturated soil mechanics as it contains information on seepage, shear strength, ... -
Mixing Properties and Solubility of Atomic and Molecular Species in Cryosolids
(2022-06-22)Exoplanetary research has shown that there are compositions of nitrogen (N2) and methane (CH4) on some planet surfaces. The following thesis studies these compositions in a vacuum state to mimic the conditions of outer ... -
NEONICOTINOID TOXICITY IN REPRODUCTIVE HONEY BEE CASTES
(2022-06-22)High pollinator losses of recent decades have been attributed to several causes including increased exposure to pesticides, particularly neonicotinoid insecticides. This has spiked re-evaluation of neonicotinoid use in ... -
