Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

High-frequency electromagnetic determination of moisture in porous media, (e.g., soil) is based on the strong relationship between volumetric water content and relative dielectric permittivity. In particular, in fine-grained soils the movement of water is influenced by different surface-bonding forces due to interface processes. The interface effects lead to a number of dielectric relaxation processes (free- and bound-water phase, Maxwell–Wagner effect, counterion relaxation effects). These relaxation processes are the reason for the strong frequency dependence of the electromagnetic material properties below 1 GHz. The matric potential is a measure of the bonding forces on water in the soil. Based on a thermodynamic relationship between soil matric potential and dielectric relaxation behaviour of water in different binding states, a broadband dielectric relaxation model was developed that considers low-frequency dispersion up to 1 MHz as well as losses due to direct-current conductivity. The sensitivity of the model on soil suction was systematically analyzed based on a pedotransfer function (PTF) for soil textures ranging from pure sand up to pure clay. The results are compared with known empirical and semiempirical calibration functions, as well as theoretical mixing models.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
