stony soils, infiltration, stoniness, initial soil water content, and mathematical modeling
Language:

Description:
Stony soils are composed of fractions (rock fragments and fine soil) with different hydrophysical characteristics. Although they are abundant in many catchments, their properties are still not well understood. This article presents basic characteristics (texture, stoniness, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and soil water retention) of stony soils from a mountain catchment located in the highest part of the Carpathian Mountains and summarizes results of water flow modeling through a hypothetical stony soil profile. Numerical simulations indicate the highest vertical outflow from the bottom of the profile in soils without rock fragments under ponding infiltration condition. Simulation of a more realistic case in a mountain catchment, i.e. infiltration of intensive rainfall, shows that when rainfall intensity is lower than the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the stony soil, the highest outflow is predicted in a soil with the highest stoniness and high initial water content of soil matrix. Relatively low available retention capacity in a stony soil profile and consequently higher unsaturated hydraulic conductivity leads to faster movement of the infiltration front during rainfall.

p(t)-Laplacian, oscillation theory, and Riccati inequality
Language:
English
Description:
Recently there has been an increasing interest in studying p(t)-Laplacian equations, an example of which is given in the following form (|u ′ (t)| p(t)−2 u ′ (t))′ + c(t)|u(t)| q(t)−2 u(t) = 0, t > 0. In particular, the first study of sufficient conditions for oscillatory solution of p(t)-Laplacian equations was made by Zhang (2007), but to our knowledge, there has not been a paper which gives the oscillatory conditions by utilizing Riccati inequality. Therefore, we establish sufficient conditions for oscillatory solution of nonlinear differential equations with p(t)- Laplacian via Riccati method. The results obtained are new and rare, except for a work of Zhang (2007). We present more detailed results than Zhang (2007).

4. Polarization of light of the comets Arend-Roland (1956h) and Mrkos (1957d)

Subject:
measurements, polarization of light, and comets
Language:
Czech
Description:
This paper presents measurements of the polarization of light in the tails of the comets Arend-Roland and Mrkos, made in the total photographic light. Results given in Tables II and V indicate that the tail of the Arend-Roland comet contained a substantial dust component, while the polarization in the tail of the Mrkos comet can be explained predominantly by pure molecular emission.
