The drying of soil: Thermal regimes and ambient pressures [PDF]
Agricultural Meteorology, 1967 SUMMARY Evaporation from a loam soil was studied in the laboratory during the fallingrate stage of drying. The primary variables were temperatures regimes and ambient pressures. The data suggested that: (a) there is a significant relation between the soil temperature and the vapor pressure of water in the air above the surface; (b) the water vapor ...

Transparent, Superflexible Doubly Cross-Linked Polyvinylpolymethylsiloxane Aerogel Superinsulators via Ambient Pressure Drying [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2018 Aerogels have many attractive properties but are usually costly and mechanically brittle, which always limit their practical applications. While many efforts have been made to reinforce the aerogels, most of the reinforcement efforts sacrifice the transparency or superinsulating properties.
