Enhancing rainwater infiltration is important to reduce the risk of urban waterlogging and improve the utilization rate of urban rainwater resources. Using the HYDRUS model, a mathematical model of soil water movement under a banded sand ditch pattern (the vertical excavation of a deep trench with heavy soil and filled with light soil) was created. Forty-six scenarios were designed to examine effects of sand ditch soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (K), original homogenous fine-textured soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (K), sand ditch width (W), spacing (S), and depth (D) on the soil infiltration rate (i). Results indicate that banded sand ditches cause increased permeation and have a significant turning point 't' in the curve of 'i' for 't.' Taking 't' as the boundary, 'i' can be divided into two stages (t ≤ t and t > t), 'i' and 't,' for each stage according to the power function relationship; there is little change in power function indices, which can be fixed at 0.34 and 0.63, respectively. In addition, the coefficient has a linear relationship with K, K, W, S, and D. Thus, an estimation model of the soil infiltration rate under a banded sand ditch pattern was proposed and verified for reliability.

Article Synopsis
- The Malayan banded wolf snake (Lycodon subcinctus) has an intricate taxonomic history, with confusion surrounding its classification, particularly regarding the name Anoplophallus maculatus.
- Recent studies proposed raising a Chinese population of L. subcinctus to a species level, leading researchers to clarify that Anoplophallus maculatus actually refers to a different Neotropical snake.
- As a resolution, a new species name, Lycodon neomaculatus sp. nov., has been proposed for Chinese populations and is characterized by distinct color patterns and scalation, with its distribution being separate from L. subcinctus.

Using spline interpolation to select proportions of similar materials, a comparative analysis of the fracturing behavior of sandstone specimens and similar material specimens was conducted through Brazilian splitting tests under multi-path loading. The study revealed that during stepwise loading, both sandstone and similar materials exhibited memory effects and plastic deformation. However, under constant velocity loading, the relationship between force and displacement in sandstone showed linearity after compaction.

Trawl surveys within and surrounding two northwestern Australian marine parks revealed banded sand catsharks Atelomycterus fasciatus (family Atelomycteridae) taking refuge within large sponges of the family Irciniidae (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) and the genus Agelas (Demospongiae: Agelasida: Agelasidae). Five sponges contained a total of 57 A. fasciatus, comprising both sexes and both immature and mature individuals ranging from 102 to 390 mm total length (TL).

Critical state and continuum plasticity theories have been used in research and engineering practice in soil and rock mechanics for decades. These theories rely on postulated relationships between material stresses and strains. Some classical postulates include coaxiality between stress and strain rates, stress-dilatancy relationships, and kinematic assumptions in shear bands.

As an important soil cover in deserts, biological crusts play a central role in ecosystem function such as nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, and carbon sequestration. Many biological crust organisms could fix CO through photosynthesis to improve soil organic carbon content. There is a knowledge gap in the origin of soil organic carbon (SOC) from biological crusts on a regional level, which restricts the prediction of soil carbon pool.
