An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

Permeability reduction and formation damage in porous media caused by fines (defined as
unconfined solid particles present in the pore spaces) migration is one of the major reasons …

The manufacture and multiple uses of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) will represent a
possible source of soil contamination. Little is known about how these NPs transport in soil …

A balance of applied hydrodynamic (TH) and resisting adhesive (TA) torques was conducted
over a chemically heterogeneous porous medium that contained random roughness of …

We studied in situ colloid mobilization under transient flow conditions using columns
repacked with Hanford sediments. Rainfall infiltration was experimentally simulated using …

Mobile colloidal particles may act as carriers of strongly sorbing contaminants in subsurface
materials. Such colloid-facilitated transport can be induced by changes in salinity, similar to …

This study investigates ionic strength dependent deposition and release of microparticles in
saturated porous media. Controlled micrometer-sized particle deposition experiments were …

Walking can be exceedingly complex to analyze due to highly nonlinear multibody
dynamics, nonlinear relationships between muscle excitations and resulting muscle forces …

Purpose Colloid migration in subsurface environments has attracted considerable attention
in recent years because of its suspected role in facilitating transport of strongly adsorbed …

An understanding of microbial transport and survival in the subsurface is needed for public
health, environmental applications, and industrial processes. Much research has therefore …
