Spacecraft ceramic protective shield...protecting spacecraft structures from impact with hypervelocity objects, including a bumper member comprising a bumper ceramic layer, a bumper shock attenuator layer, and a bumper confining layer....
Borehole water level response to barometric pressureas an indicator of groundwater vulnerabilityThe response of borehole water levels to barometric pressure is a function of the confining layer and aquifer properties....
Borehole water level response to barometric pressure as an indicator of aquifer vulnerabilityThe response of borehole water levels to barometric pressure changes in semiconfined aquifers can be used to determine barometric response functions from which aquifer and confining layer properties can be obtained....
Modeling hydraulic conductivity of a complex confining layer at various spatial scalesThe spatial variation of the hydraulic conductivity of a complex confining layer in the Netherlands was modelled on four scales: sediment cores, numerical model blocks, and local and regional scales....
