In Situ Ksat Measurements of Five Fragipan Soils
… and southcentral Missouri were selected for Ksat measurements. Fragipan soils were selected because they are the most restrictive soils for water movement. The study area is located on the Springfield and Salem Plateaus, two plateaus of the Ozarks Plateau Province (Bretz, 1965). Using an …

Range of and relationships between physical and hydraulic properties of commonly available denitrifying bioreactor woodchips
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), porosity, and particle size are key physical parameters of woodchip media for denitrifying bioreactor design. Current design guidelines can be improved by analyzing more woodchip types and the effects of overburden on woodchip properties. The objectives of …

The Effects of Vegetation on Ecosystem Services Provisioning by Stormwater Bioretention
… zones, using saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) as a performance metric. My results indicate that stress-tolerant bias in arid climates increases Ksat whereas competitive bias in humid climates has no measurable effect. Notably, overall Ksat values were higher than design standards, …

The changing landscape of energy generation in Virginia: How construction of utility-scale solar sites impacts soil physical and hydraulic properties
… permeameters; saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) from both measurement types. The solar site had significantly lower Ksat at both the surface and subsurface compared to the reference profiles (p < 0.05). Measurements were collected from three different typical settings in utility-scale solar …

Temporal Dynamics of Groundwater Flow Direction in a Glaciated, Headwater Catchment
… range of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) within the C horizon (1.5×10-7 to 9.8×10-7 m/s) is two orders of magnitude lower than the interquartile range of Ksat values within the solum (2.9×10-5 to 5.2×10-5 m/s). Thus, the C horizon is on average a confining unit relative to the …

Effects of severe cattle treading on soil physical properties and pasture productivity
… grazed. The recovery of macroporosity, Ksat, and K_40 indicated that the soil had an increased susceptibility to further treading damage for up to 13 weeks after the initial treading event. However, soil susceptibility to direct hoof damage after a one-off severe treading damage event …

Graphical structure of unsatisfiable boolean formulae
The presented research is an introduction and analysis of a novel graph decision problem called GraphSAT. Using the tools of topology and graph theory, this new variant builds upon the classical logic and computer science problem of boolean satisfiability k-SAT. k-SAT asks if there exists a truth …
