Bioturbation—Physical processes
(2023)Encyclopedia of Soils in the EnvironmentBioturbation is the physical movement of soil by fauna or plant roots. The primary goal of bioturbation is for organisms to access resources in soil such as food, plant nutrients and water. Bioturbation includes soil translocation by burrowing and ingestion, soil deformation by organism expansion, and soil stabilization by compounds secreted by organisms and their tissue. These processes are extremely important to the formation of soil ...Encyclopedia Entry -
Water evaporation from bare soil
(2023)Encyclopedia of Soils in the EnvironmentEvaporation of water emitted from soil surfaces is a key process of the hydrologic cycle and the surface energy balance. It can be limited by the solar energy to vaporize water, the amount of precipitation, the soil hydraulic properties and surface characteristics (albedo, roughness, and presence of residues). Evaporation rates are large for wet soil surfaces with high atmospheric demand (controlled by energy, vapor pressure deficit, and ...Encyclopedia Entry -

Scattering, inelastic: Electron
(2024)Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter PhysicsAn interaction event between an electron and a target material is called inelastic if the electron loses some or all of its energy. The general theory of the inelastic scattering cross-section is first developed before being specialized to interband transitions, plasmon excitations, vibrations at surfaces, core-electron excitations, and (e−, 2e−) scattering. Examples are provided to illustrate how the elementary excitations of each method ...Encyclopedia Entry -

How will the railway look like in 2050?
(2024)NSL NewsletterMany aspects contribute to the further development of the technologies, but no single game changer could be identified. Developments are expected in automation; revolutionary changes are perceived as unlikely.Other Publication -
Envisioning a cycling-centric future
(2024)NSL NewsletterAllocating dedicated road space to slow modes is considered an effective way toward a radical modal shift. By exploiting traffic flow theoretical knowledge, convenient models can be developed to help evaluate the influence of such a large-scale transformation on network traffic performance. Novel strategies for bi-modal urban traffic management can also be proposed to solve congestion.Other Publication
