The role of infiltration in the hydrologic cycle

RE Horton - Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1933 - Wiley Online Library
For some years the author has used the term “infiltration” to describe the process involved
where water soaks into or is absorbed by the soil. Absorption, imbibition, and percolation are …

Erosional development of streams and their drainage basins; hydrophysical approach to quantitative morphology

RE Horton - Geological society of America bulletin, 1945 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The composition of the stream system of a drainage basin can be expressed quantitatively
in terms of stream order, drainage density, bifurcation ratio, and stream-length ratio. Stream …

Site-directed mutagenesis by overlap extension using the polymerase chain reaction

SN Ho, HD Hunt, RM Horton, JK Pullen, LR Pease - Gene, 1989 - Elsevier
Overlap extension represents a new approach to genetic engineering. Complementary
oligodeoxyribo-nucleotide (oligo) primers and the polymerase chain reaction are used to …

[BOOK][B] Soil physics

WA Jury, R Horton - 2004 - books.google.com
The completely revised and updated edition of the classic guide to soil physics The revised
edition of an environmental soil science classic, Soil Physics, Sixth Edition presents updated …

Engineering hybrid genes without the use of restriction enzymes: gene splicing by overlap extension

RM Horton, HD Hunt, SN Ho, JK Pullen, LR Pease - Gene, 1989 - Elsevier
Gene splicing by overlap extension is a new approach for recombining DNA molecules at
precise junctions irrespective of nucleotide sequences at the recombination site and without …

Drainage-basin characteristics

RE Horton - Transactions, American geophysical union, 1932 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
Factors descriptive of a drainage-basin as related to its hydrology may be classified broadly
as:(1) Morphologic—These factors depend only on the topography of the land forms of …

[PDF][PDF] An approach toward a physical interpretation of infiltration capacity

RE Horton - Soil science Society of America proceedings, 1940 - apps.dasnr.okstate.edu
INFILTRATION-CAPACITY was first defined 1 by the author as the maximum rate at which a
given soil when in a given condition can absorb rain as it falls (6, 7). 3 Infiltration-capacity is …

Gene splicing by overlap extension: tailor-made genes using the polymerase chain reaction

RM Horton, Z Cai, SN Ho, LR Pease - Biotechniques, 2013 - Future Science
Gene Splicing by Overlap Extension or “gene SOEing” is a PCR-based method of recombining
DNA sequences without reliance on restriction sites and of directly generating mutated …

Impact of biochar amendments on the quality of a typical Midwestern agricultural soil

DA Laird, P Fleming, DD Davis, R Horton, B Wang… - Geoderma, 2010 - Elsevier
Biochar, a co-product of thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic materials into advanced
biofuels, may be used as a soil amendment to enhance the sustainability of biomass …

Biochar impact on nutrient leaching from a Midwestern agricultural soil

D Laird, P Fleming, B Wang, R Horton, D Karlen - Geoderma, 2010 - Elsevier
Application of biochar to highly weathered tropical soils has been shown to enhance soil
quality and decrease leaching of nutrients. Little, however, is known about the effects of biochar …
