The stormwater runoff and infiltration performance of pavement structures has been systematically evaluated within an extensive research project. Over 230 field and lab scale experiments have been completed and analyzed for surface runoff and infiltration characteristics as well as for water content changes inside the construction. The test series comprises several types of conventional and exp...

Conglomeratic alluvial sediments (sand–gravel–cobbles) are common in fluvial, periglacial, and tectonically active regions but have received little attention with respect to unsaturated flow, specifically moisture–tension–conductivity relationships, due to difficulty in making measurements in the field or laboratory and lack of agricultural value. We used a field-scale infiltration experiment, ...

A shape of the unitary triangle versus a CP violating parameter δ depends on the phase conventions of the CKM matrix, because the CP violating parameter δ cannot directly be observed, so that it is not rephasing-invariant. In order to seek for a clue to the quark mass matrix structure and the origin of the CP violation, the dependence of the unitary triangle shape on the parameter δ is systemat...
