Modelling to analyse the impacts of animal treading effects on soil infiltration
Animal treading can change soil physical properties, and thus is an important factor in hydrological modelling. We investigated the impacts of animal treading on infiltration by using a series of rainfall simulation experiments at Whatawhata Research Center, Waikato, New Zealand. The study identified significant variables for estimating soil steady-state infiltration at a microsite (0Ð5 m2) and...
متن کاملModelling Infiltration on Gravel Beaches with an Xbeach Variant
Coarse-grained beaches are particularly prevalent in the UK, composed of accumulations of either gravel, or mixed sand and gravel sediments. Understanding and predicting their morphological behaviour in response to short-term and long-term forcing has been the subject of recent research. Despite the focus on sandy beaches, it is important to understand that the balance of processes that govern ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Treading on Pasture
In 1858 H. S. Thompson, writing in the “Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society”, quoted an ancient Persian proverb, “The sheep has a foot of gold, and turns to gold whatever it touches”, and wrote that, although at first he agreed with the proverb, he rapidly became dissatisfied with it. In his experience-sustained yheavystockifig-w? sheep caused pastures to deteriorate. In my opinion his im...
متن کاملModelling of Pyrocarbon Chemical Vapor Infiltration
The chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of pyrocarbon is used to produce carbon matrix of C/C composites. This process involves complex physico-chemical phenomena such as the transport of gas mixtures (hydrocarbons and hydrogen) in the reactor and inside the fibrous preform, chemical reactions (pyrolysis and deposition), and the structural evolution of the preform. A global modelling approach has...
متن کاملAutomation Systems for Farm Animals: Potential Impacts on the Human Animal Relationship and on Animal Welfare
This article discusses ethical issues raised by automation systems in animal farming. These systems automatically collect various kinds of information about an animal and allow the farmer to monitor it remotely. It is argued that the relationship between the farmer and the individual animal is becoming increasingly distant and impoverished. Although this may protect the animal from some negativ...
