Performance evaluation of a flatbed maize dryer with a biomass heat source
The technical performance of a 3-tonne capacity flatbed grain dryer was assessed based on its drying rate and drying efficiency. In addition, the quality of maize grains dried in the drying system was investigated through stress-crack analysis and ...

Likelihood of survival of coronavirus in a respiratory droplet deposited on a solid surface
We predict and analyze the drying time of respiratory droplets from a COVID-19 infected subject, which is a crucial time to infect another subject. The drying of the droplet is predicted by diffusion-limited evaporation model for a sessile droplet placed

Measuring desiccation-induced tensile stress during cracking process
The desiccation cracking of soil occurs when shrinkage is restricted during the drying process and the induced tensile stress equals the tensile strength.

Effects of Rate of Drying, Life History Phase, and Ecotype on the Ability of the Moss Bryum Argenteum to Survive Desiccation Events and the Influence on Conservation and Selection of Material for Restoration [PDF]
Desiccation stress is frequently experienced by the moss Bryum argenteum and can influence survival, propagation and niche selection. We attempted to disentangle the interacting factors of life history phase (five categories) and rate of desiccation ...

High-temperature stress during drying improves subsequent rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed longevity [PDF]
Post-harvest drying prolongs seed survival in air-dry storage; previous research showed benefit from drying moist rice seeds at temperatures greater than recommended for genebanks (5-20°C).
