A proposal for a SAR interferometric model of soil moisture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since long it is known that SAR interferometric observables are influenced by soil moisture variations, however there is a lack of scattering models that link interferometric observables and variations of the dielectric properties.

Study of drying kinetics and activation energy for drying a pineapple piece in the crossflow dehydrator

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
The drying process reduces the moisture of the pineapple resulting in a decrease in the humidity ratio to inhibit microbial growth and the enzyme level for spoilage prevention. Therefore, it is significant to understand the drying kinetics to control the

Modeling some drying characteristics of garlic sheets under semi fluidized and fluidized bed conditions

open access: yesResearch in Agricultural Engineering, 2012
Thin layer drying properties of high moisture garlic sheets under semi fluidized and fluidized bed conditions with high initial moisture content (about 154.26% d.b.) were studied.

Theoretical model for predicting moisture ratio during drying of spherical particles in a rotary dryer

open access: yes, 2013
A mathematical model was developed for predicting the drying kinetics of spherical particles in a rotary dryer. Drying experiments were carried out by drying fermented ground cassava particles in a bench scale rotary dryer at inlet air temperatures of ...

Atmospheric moisture residence time affects rainwater isotope ratios [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
The water cycle is expected to respond to rising air temperature, which redistributes moisture in the lowest part of the atmosphere, known as the boundary layer. To understand how boundary layer processes redistribute rainfall across different climate settings, climatologists use stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen in rainwater.

Optimisation of loading capacity of smoking kiln on drying characteristics of Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

open access: yesAgricultura Tropica et Subtropica, 2019
Fish smoking is widely used in the fish processing industry, especially in the post-harvest catfish product due to its simple operating technique. The objective of this study was to optimise the tray loading capacity of a smoking kiln for catfish.

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

Evalution of Hot Mix Asphalt Moisture Sensitivity Using the Nottingham Asphalt Test Equipment, July 2005 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Moisture sensitivity of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures, generally called stripping, is a major form of distress in asphalt concrete pavement. It is characterized by the loss of adhesive bond between the asphalt binder and the aggregate (a failure of the ...

Parameter Sensitivity in LSMs: An Analysis Using Stochastic Soil Moisture Models and ELDAS Soil Parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Integration of simulated and observed states through data assimilation as well as model evaluation requires a realistic representation of soil moisture in land surface models (LSMs).
