Seawater circulation in the slurry TBM excavation chamber and its influence on the permeability of bentonite
When drilling with a slurry TBM (Tunneling Boring Machine) below the sea bottom, the fresh bentonite slurry will be mixed with the seawater and transformed into a salty bentonite slurry. This paper describes a theoretical study into the seawater circulation in the TBM excavation chamber and proposes a model to predict the amounts of seawater that m...

Automated MRI quantification of volumetric per-muscle fat fractions in the proximal leg of patients with muscular dystro...
Muscular dystrophies (MD) are a class of rare genetic diseases resulting in progressive muscle weakness affecting specific muscle groups, depending on the type of disease. Disease progression is characterized by the gradual replacement of muscle tissue by fat, which can be assessed with fat-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and objectively...
Event-based run-off and sediment yield dynamics and controls in the subhumid headwaters of the Blue Nile, Ethiopia
Land degradation due to soil erosion presents a major challenge for sustainable development. We investigated run-off and sediment yield (SY) dynamics in the northwestern highlands of Ethiopia. The study area included 14 zero-order catchments with a surface area ranging from 324 to 1715 m2. V-notch weirs produced from plastic jars were introduced as...

Ablation Behavior of Ultra-high Temperature Composite Ceramic Matrix Composites
Ultra-high temperature composite ceramic matrix composites ZrC-SiC, ZrB2-ZrC-SiC and HfB2-HfC-SiC were fabricated by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis method. The ultra-high temperature ceramic phases in the materials were characterized by submicron/ nanometer uniform dispersion distribution. Ablation behaviors of ZrC-SiC, ZrB2-ZrC-SiC and HfB2-...

Long-term effects of land use type and management on sorptivity, macroscopic capillary length and water-conducting poros...
Soil hydraulic properties are often influenced by agricultural activities. Knowledge of such properties is needed to understand the effect of agricultural practices on the soil water regime and catchment hydrology. In the present study, we investigated the effects of three land use types including orchard field, OF (without plowing), annual cultiva...
