Optical fibre sensor for simultaneous temperature and relative humidity measurement: Towards absolute humidity evaluation

open access: yesSensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2021
Temperature and humidity are essential parameters in monitoring the health of patients in critical care. An optical fibre sensor has been developed for simultaneous measurement of relative humidity (RH) and temperature at a single optical fibre tip based

Effect of relative humidity on the carbonation rate of portlandite, calcium silicate hydrates and ettringite

open access: yesCement and Concrete Research, 2020
The carbonation of portlandite, calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), and ettringite was investigated at 57% RH and 91% RH using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and the phenolphthalein spray test.

What's the relative humidity in tropical caves?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Relative humidity (RH) was measured at hourly intervals for approximately one year in two caves at seven stations near Playa del Carmen in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Sistema Muévelo Rico is a 1.1 km long cave with 12 entrances and almost no dark zone.

Influence of wind and relative humidity on the social distancing effectiveness to prevent COVID-19 airborne transmission: A numerical study

open access: yesJournal of Aerosol Science, 2020
It has been confirmed that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can transmit through droplets created when an infected human coughs or sneezes. Accordingly, 1.83-m (6-feet) social distancing is advised to reduce the spread of the disease among humans.
