The document discusses soil moisture characteristic curves, which describe the relationship between soil water content and water potential. It provides key details about soil moisture characteristic curves, including that they are affected by soil texture and structure, describe the amount of water retained at a given matric potential, and are important for modeling water flow in soils. The curves are nonlinear and cover a wide range of matric potentials, so they are often plotted on a logarithmic scale.
Soil is the home of million of organisms. In agriculture, from seed to grain, soil is a prima factor. It also acts a medium to store water for plants and form of water in soil called soil moisture. Some parameters to check the soil moisture called soil moisture constants. So, soil and water relationship is essential in agriculture.

If you know what to look for, you can harness powerful insights from a soil moisture release curve. But if you're using the wrong instrumentation, don't have the correct tools to evaluate the curve, or choose the wrong model to fit the curve, your insights can be drastically wrong. And those errors are only amplified when put into a hydrology model.
In this 30-minute webinar, research scientist and Director of Scientific Outreach, Leo Rivera, illustrates what insights you can glean from your soil moisture release curve data and hot to get everything you can from this soil fingerprint. He'll discuss:
- What a soil moisture release curve is
- What information a soil moisture release curve can provide about your soil
- The predictions you can make using a soil moisture release curve
- What tools you need to achieve the specific results you desire
- How to choose the right model to fit your curve
- How to interpret data from soilless media

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. • Soil moisture characteristic curve is the
relationship between the water content and the
soil water potential, ψ.
• It describes the functional relationship between
soil water content and its energy status in terms of
its matric potential under equilibrium conditions.
• This curve is characteristic for different types of
soil.
• It is also called the Water retention curve.
3. • A soil water characteristic (SWC) curve describes
the amount of water retained in a soil (expressed
as mass or volume water content, θm or θv) under
equilibrium at a given matric potential.
• A SWC is an important hydraulic property related
to size and connectedness of pore spaces.
• It is strongly affected by soil texture and structure,
and by other constituents including organic matter.
4. • Modeling water distribution and flow in
partially-saturated soils requires knowledge of
the SWC.
• It plays a critical role in water management
and in prediction of solute and contaminant
transport in the environment.
5. • The SWC function is highly nonlinear and
relatively difficult to obtain accurately.
• The matric potential extends over several
orders of magnitude for the range of water
contents commonly encountered in practical
applications, it is often plotted on a
logarithmic scale.
9. • The SWC is a primary hydraulic property
required for modeling water flow in porous
materials.
• It is used to predict the soil water storage,
water supply to the plants (field capacity) and
soil aggregate stability.
• Due to the hysteretic effect of water filling
and draining the pores, different wetting and
drying curves may be distinguished.
10. • At potentials close to zero, a soil is close to
saturation, and water is held in the soil
primarily by capillary forces.
• As θ decreases, binding of the water becomes
stronger, and at small potentials (more
negative, approaching wilting point) water is
strongly bound in the smallest of pores, at
contact points between grains and as films
bound by adsorptive forces around particles.
11. Factors influencing soil water retention
– Soil structure (b, aggregate size distribution)
• important at low suctions, 0 to 50 kPa
• Capillary effects
– Clay content
• Positively related to surface area of soil particles
• Positively related to water adsorption
• Dominant factors at high suctions
12. • Early conceptual models for SWC curve
were based on the "bundle of cylindrical
capillaries" (BCC) representation of pore
space geometry
(Millington and Quirk, 1961).
• The BCC representation postulates that
at a given matric potential a portion of
interconnected cylindrical pores is
completely liquid filled, whereas larger
pores are completely empty.
