Many different models and mechanisms of water imbibition into soil have been described in the literature. Theoretical equations based on those models exist to predict how water will flow in porous media. These models can be useful, but have their weaknesses. Research on imbibition and infiltration into soils has mostly...

The Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif (NPHM) is a north-south trending
structural and topographic high, which interrupts the east-west trend
of the Himalaya in northern Pakistan. Previously, the massif was
thought to be bounded by the Main Mantle thrust (MMT), a north-dipping
thrust along which the Kohistan-Ladakh arc was thrust south over...

Natural disasters including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and fires often involve substantial physical and mental impacts on affected populations and thus are public health priorities. Limited research shows that vulnerable populations such as the low-income, socially isolated migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW) are particularly susceptible to the effects of natural...

Face checking in decorative maple veneered plywood panels is a significant
problem for hardwood plywood manufacturers, furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and consumers. Efforts made by panel producers and researchers to minimize checking conducted to-‐date have been limited, and produced contradictory results. In this study the impact of four manufacturing factors believed...

Data from the southern Cascade Mountains of
Oregon has been collected for application in computer
analysis of snowfields. Vegetation type, canopy
cover, slope, aspect, insolation, and snowfield
ground truth delineation are given consideration.
In addition, a procedure for transferral of data
onto Landsat imagery was derived.

A composite 732-rn thick section in Germany Creek of middle Eocene upper McIntosh and lower Cowlitz Formations, as well as the lower Grays River Volcanics, was studied using bio-, magneto- and lithostratigraphy to construct a sequence stratigraphic framework and assess hydrocarbon exploration potential. The upper McIntosh Formation forms a complete...

Paleozoic dolomites, limestones, and detrital clastic rocks
were mapped in the Bellevue Peak 15 minute quadrangle in the
southern Mahogany Hills, Nevada. Sedimentary rock units in this
area represent shallow-shelf eastern assemblage deposits.
Shallow-shelf carbonates characterized deposition from at
least Ordovician through Late Devonian time, when clastics derived
from the...
