Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the major pathological factor of most
cardiovascular diseases, leading to≈ 1/3 of deaths worldwide. Improving local delivery of …

This study focuses on the reliable parametrization of the full Soil Water Retention Curve
(SWRC) from saturation to oven-dryness using high resolution but limited range measured …

This study aims to experimentally investigate the possibility of combining two extended
continuum theories for two‐phase flow. One of these theories considers interfacial area as a …

Many soil, hydrologic and environmental applications require information about the
unsaturated soil hydraulic properties. The evaporation method has long been used for …

A major contaminant transport process in soils is hydrodynamic dispersion by affecting the
spreading and arrival of surface-applied pollutants at underlying groundwater reservoirs …

Abstract Green Roofs (GRs) have proven to be a sustainable solution to stormwater
management in urban areas. To boost their adoption at the large scale, there is a need to …

The hysteretic behaviour of the dry region (<− 1.5 MPa) of the soil water characteristic, which
is of the essence for accurate characterization and modelling of bio‐physicochemical soil …

Abstract HYPROP (Hydraulic Property Analyzer) system works based on the simplified
evaporation method, which determines soil hydraulic properties in the laboratory. This …

Purpose Temperature has a significant influence on water retention curve (WRC) because
temperature affects surface tension of water and volumetric behaviour of soil. However, in …

Soil hydraulic properties are an important factor to optimize and adapt water management
for a given crop. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) present a solution to predict soil variables …
