Wet gum labelling of wine bottles [PDF]
, 1996 It is shown that bubbling on wine bottle labels is due to absorption of water from the glue, with subsequent hygroscopic expansion. Contrary to popular belief, most of the glue's water must be lost to the atmosphere rather than to the paper.

Characterization of Electromagnetic Properties for Durability Performance and Saturation in Hardened Cement Mortar [PDF]
, 2009 Electromagnetic (EM) properties—dielectric constant and conductivity are changed with porosity and saturation in cement-based materials. In this paper, dielectric constant and conductivity are measured in cement mortar with 5 different mixture conditions

Amelioration of Smoke‐Tainted Wine Using Spinning Cone Column Distillation and Activated Carbon
Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background and Aims Rising global temperatures exacerbate the risk of vineyard exposure to smoke from bushfires, which can lead to smoky characters in finished wine known as ‘smoke taint’. This study aimed to use spinning cone column (SCC) distillation in combination with activated carbon (AC) addition to remedy smoke‐tainted wines.

Sorptive Deformation of Porous Sorbents
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2019 Deformations of granulated recuperative activated carbon AR-V (produced in granulated form from coal dust (coals mixture) and adhesion agents by steam treatment at the temperature of 1100 — 1200K) upon carbon tetrachloride adsorption has been studied. To solve this problem a dilatometer was used.
