Reproducible Research in the Vadose Zone Sciences

Reproducible Research in Speech Sciences

Reproducible research is the minimum standard of scientific claims in cases when independent replication proves to be difficult. With the special combination of available software tools, we provide a reproducibility recipe for the experimental research conducted in some fields of speech sciences. We have based our model on the triad of the R environment, the EMU-format speech database, and the ...

Hanford Site Vadose Zone Studies: An Overview

899 The Hanford Site is 1517 km2 (586 mi2) in size, located in a sparsely populated area in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, adjacent to the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State (Fig. 1). The Hanford Site was set aside in the early 1940s by the U.S. Government to perform a top-secret mission, the Manhattan Project, for production of plutonium for atomic weapons used to end W...

Vadose Zone Processes and Chemical Transport

A natural obstacle to this practice is the accelerated aging of iron and loss of reactivity resulting from O2 Permeable zerovalent iron (Fe0 ) barriers have become an estabin the soil atmosphere. Despite this apparent limitation, lished technology for remediating contaminated ground water. This same technology may be applicable for treating pesticides amenable situations could arise wher...

Incorporating the Vadose Zone into the Budyko Framework

The Budyko framework provides a quantitative description of long-term average annual evapotranspiration at catchment scales in terms of macro-climatic variables. This framework, however, makes no reference to the vadose zone because it neglects changes in subsurface storage in the catchment water balance. Recent studies have shown clearly that vadose-zone water storage cannot be neglected at su...
