ASSESSMENT OF CORN WATER UPTAKE BASED ON SAP HEAT TRACING UNDER WATER-STRESSED CONDITIONS [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 1999
ABSTRACT Crop water monitoring is an important aspect for precise control of irrigation. A reliable and movable technique is needed to properly assess water uptake of crops in the field. Water uptake by field grown maize ( Zea mays L.), in water-limited conditions was verified with the heat pulse system.

Influence of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) on Mechanical, Durability Properties, and Internal Curing Mechanism of Cement Stabilized Macadam in Desert Environment

Advances in Civil Engineering
Semi-rigid base materials in desert areas are susceptible to fast evaporation of water due to high-temperature and dry environment during construction and curing, leading to insufficient cement hydration and shrinkage cracking, thus affecting the ...

Transition from bamboo sap to water: Aquatic habits in the sap beetle Amphicrossus japonicus (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea: Nitidulidae) [PDF]

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
Amphicrossus japonicus is the first known facultatively aquatic nitidulid. The adult beetles breed in bamboo sap and subsequently enter water-filled bamboo culms. In water they breathe via a ventral air sheath held by hydrofuge pubescence. The beetles are facultative predators and hunt mosquito larvae, which they grab with their forelegs.
