Effect of moisture change on water retention behavior of unsaturated silty soil under loading–unloading conditions by Syed Kamran Hussain Shah, Adnan Anwar Malik, Shay Haq, Waqar Ahmad, Umair Ali, Rabia Chaudhry

“…However, the internal nomenclature of unsaturated soils due to the presence of air, water, and soil particles makes it more complex while such soils interact with moisture under the circumstances of applied stress history during the earthen structure’s life span. To investigate this behavior, this study is designed to understand the soil–water interaction and quantify the retention behavior during loading and unloading conditions. …”

PLAGIARISM AS ANTROPOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL PHENOMENON by T. S. Parkhomenko

“…The modern semantics genesis of the term "plagiarism" took place as a process of changing the nominal values due to the complication of the semantic structure of the word before reintegration. 2. Analysis of historical-philosophical and literary sources from the "Empedocles Case" and "Fedentinus Case" allowed reconstructing the anthropological characteristics of the named persons as plagiarists: both of them were induced to plagiarize by vanity, either due to temporary limitation of abilities to intellectual creation (Empedocles as a student) or due to constant limited ability to the literary creativity (Fedentinus). …”

Increasing Cattle Herd Size or Density in C₃ Grass–Legume Meadows Reduces Dietary Quality by John Derek Scasta, Fernando Forster Furquim

“…Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy of fecal samples (f.NIRS) was used to estimate crude protein (CP), digestible organic matter (DOM), and the DOM:CP ratio. Structural equation modeling (SEM) that mediated time (i.e., Day of Year) rendered all animal number or density variables as significant predictors for CP and DOM (negative estimates) and for DOM:CP (positive estimate), indicating that congregating animals in larger groups and/or greater densities, even in meadows with high-quality forage species, may reduce post-ingestive diet quality estimates by −1.2% and −2.0 for CP and DOM for every +100 animals or for every +10 animals per hectare. …”
