Water–rock interactions and scouring actions are recognized key factors that significantly influence the disintegration of rock on the surface of slopes. However, the research on rock disintegration, specifically under the action of scouring, i...
In South China, due to climatic factors, highly weathered granite is distributed across a large area and easily disintegrates after encountering water, causing many geological disasters and other problems. To determine the disintegration mechanism of...
The effects of vegetation restoration on soil erosion resistance of gully head, along a revegetation age gradient, remain poorly understood. Hence, we collected undisturbed soil samples from a slope farmland and four grasslands with different reveget...
The slots on a blade tip can effectively suppress the tip vortices by diffusing the core structure of a vortex and thus mitigate the adverse impacts of vortex interactions. In this paper, the effect of a slotted tip on vortex diffusion in the hoverin...
Mg-3Zn-1Al (AZ31) alloy is a popular wrought alloy, and its mechanical properties could be further enhanced by the addition of calcium (Ca). The formation of stable secondary phase (Mg,Al)2Ca enhances the creep resistance at the expense of formabilit...
Polymeric micelles with a controlled size in the range between 41 and 80 nm were prepared by injecting the organic phase through a microengineered nickel membrane or a tapered-end glass capillary into an aqueous phase. The organic phase was composed...
Dysphagia refers to difficulty swallowing certain foods, liquids, or pills. It is common among the elderly with chronic diseases who need to take drugs for long periods. Therefore, dysphagia might reduce compliance with oral drug administration in th...
