Soil structure: The arrangement of soil particles into small clumps, called peds. Much like ingredients in a cake batter bind together to form a cake, soil particles (sand, silt, clay, and even organic matter) bind together to form peds. Peds have various shapes depending on their "ingredien...
soil structure: The aggregation, or secondary shape, of soil particles which adhere together into structural units (peds). References and Recommended Reading Alexandratos, N.

Renal involvement in infectious diseases may occur by a variety of mechanisms: direct microbial invasion of the renal tissues or collecting system may take place in conditions such as staphylococcal abscess of the kidney occurring as a result of septicemic spread of the organism; ascending infection ...

The stability of the soil aggregates is an important soil quality indicator, as it affects the soil’s overall functionality. As the soil aggregates are highly affected by agricultural practices, it is essential to know how crops interact with the aggregation process. Therefore, for obtaining more...
To realize this aptasensor, AuNPs are synthesized via heating in solution and are loaded onto a mixture reaction of aminated ionic liquid NH2-IL and 2D nanosheets of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), the former helping the nanomaterial to stabilize via electrostatic repul- sion and avoiding aggregation...
Some of the magnetic nanoparticles were aggregated with larger particles (Figure 2a). Following OA modification (Figure 2b), the dispersity of the particles improved and aggregation of the particles was significantly reduced. The presence of OA on the Fe3O4 surface may have increased steric ...
10, 426 2 of 13 To improve the catalytic activity and stability, it would be feasible to immobilize noble metals on a matrix, especially another catalytic component, which would reduce its aggregation as well as improve the catalytic performance in contrast with monometallic counterparts [6,7]....
Watersheds are divided into spatially linked subbasins; the subbasins are divided into Hydrological Response Units (HRUs) with unique soil/land use and slope characteristics. The land phase is solved at HRU level, which determines water flow and nutrient load outputs; these outputs are routed ...
