Prediction of Soil Formation as a Function of Age Using the Percolation Theory Approach
2018
Recent modeling and comparison with field results showed that soil formation by chemical weathering, either from bedrock or unconsolidated material, is limited largely by solute transport. Chemical weathering rates are proportional to solute velocities. Nonreactive solute transport described by non-Gaussian transport theory appears compatible with soil formation rates. This change in understanding opens new possibilities for predicting soil production and depth across orders of magnitude of time scales. Percolation theory for modeling the evolution of soil depth and production was applied to new and published data for alpine and Mediterranean soils. The first goal was to check whether the e…
Chapter 3 Surface Plasmon Optics for the Characterization of Biofunctional Architectures
2007
Publisher Summary This chapter describes a wide variety of work employing surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface plasmon field-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS), and surface plasmon field-enhanced diffraction spectroscopy (SPDS) analysis, specifically for investigations relevant to biofunctional, bio-affinity aspects. The SPR has shown already its impact on interfacial analysis. The combination of these three methods has the potential to generate more information and reveal details of biofunctional interfaces. The versatility of the SPR technique is shown by a vast amount of publications in the past decades; the method has matured into a well-accepted analytical tool for the chara…
