Consumption of dietary saturated fats are a much debated topic of human nutrition and traditional recommendations have urged consumers to "avoid consuming saturated fat sources, such as butter and beef, to lower ones' risk of developing heart disease." Emerging evidence however …

The morphology of saturated (water-filled) caves reflects their hydraulic function within a karst aquifer. Flow-dominated caves are characterized by tubular conduits with consistent geometries and large ground water velocities. Storage-dominated caves are characterized by a coll…

Accurate estimation of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) in soils is essential for various hydrological applications. Ks is difficult to characterize because of its high variability even over short distances, and measurement methods typically require considerable time and re…
