Dry Priming of Maize Seeds Reduces Aluminum Stress

PLOS ONE, 2015
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is directly related to acidic soils and substantially limits maize yield. Earlier studies using hormones and other substances to treat the seeds of various crops have been carried out with the aim of inducing tolerance to abiotic stress, especially chilling, drought and salinity.

Investigation of oscillating climates for wood drying using the flying wood test and loaded beams: Need for a new mechano-sorptive model

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
In this work, the effects of moisture content variations produced by oscillating drying conditions have been studied by means of non-symmetrical drying (flying wood) and loaded drying (3-point bending test).

Study on Strength Attenuation Characteristics of Residual Expansive Soil under Wetting-Drying Cycles and Low Stress and Its Relationship with Shallow Landslide

Geofluids, 2022
The rapid development of expansive soil fissures and the attenuation of strength under the action of repeated atmospheric wetting-drying cycles have a very adverse impact on the shallow stability of expansive soil slope.

Biopolymer-based structuring of liquid oil into soft solids and oleogels using water-continuous emulsions as templates [PDF]

, 2015
Physical trapping of a hydrophobic liquid oil in a matrix of water-soluble biopolymers was achieved using a facile two-step process by first formulating a surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by biopolymers (a protein and a polysaccharide ...

Drying strategies capable of reducing the stress level of a stack of boards as defined by a comprehensive dual scale model

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
During drying, stresses and deformations develop in a wood board due to shrinkage fields which result from moisture content and temperature field variations.

An Experimental Investigation of the Scaling of Columnar Joints [PDF]

, 2006
Columnar jointing is a fracture pattern common in igneous rocks in which cracks self-organize into a roughly hexagonal arrangement, leaving behind an ordered colonnade. We report observations of columnar jointing in a laboratory analog system, desiccated

Macro-micro tests of cohesive soil under varied normal and shear stresses subjected to drying-wetting cycles

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The mechanical behavior of cohesive soil is sensitized to drying-wetting cycles under confinements. However, the hydromechanical coupling effect has not been considered in current constitutive models.

EFFECTS OF SAWING PATTERN ON DRYING RATE AND RESIDUAL DRYING STRESSES OF PINUS RADIATA LUMBER

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2002
Flatsawn and quartersawn Pinus radiata (radiata pine) sapwood boards were dried in a tunnel dryer in three runs using three drying schedules. These schedules represented low temperature (LT), accelerated conventional temperature (ACT) and high ...

Strain-Stress Formation and Deformation of Molded Materials by Drying-Induced Shrinkage

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Drying-induced strain-stress and deformation was modeled for molded materials such as ceramics and foods. The transient three-dimensional problem of strain-stress and heat and moisture transfer was solved simultaneously by the finite element method.
