The Relationship between Imbibitional Damage and Initial Water Content of Soybeans
The relationship between imbibitional damage and the initial water content of soybean seeds was investigated. Imbibitional damage such as the lack of cotyledons was serious at water contents below 10% but not over 20%. The water content of 10% was the point below which the signal of inorganic phosphate in cytoplasm disappeared in 31P-NMR spectra and ...

Using hyperspectral remote sensing data for retrieving canopy water content [PDF]
Canopy water content (CWC) is important for understanding functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Spectral derivatives at the slopes of the 970 nm and 1200 nm water absorption features offer good potential as estimators for CWC.

Effects of water content and initiator composition on photopolymerization of a model BisGMA/HEMA resin [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of photoinitiator type and water content on the polymerization rate (Rp) and degree of conversion (DC) of a model BisGMA/HEMA-based resin.The comonomer mixture consisted of BisGMA/HEMA (60/40 by weight). Different two- or three-component photoinitiator systems were incorporated.
