Marine scientific research (MSR), involving the study of hydrothermal vent systems and their associated biological communities, is of some of the most exciting scientific work currently being undertaken. It is generally recognised that the discovery of chemosynthetic-based ecosystems at...

In this study, the heat distribution throughout the profile of unsaturated multilayered soil is determined using finite difference method while its thermal diffusivity varies with time and depth. First, the input parameters such as water content, dry density and sand content of the soil profile...
