Water content of aged aerosol [PDF]
Abstract. The composition and physical properties of aged atmospheric aerosol were characterized at a remote sampling site on the northern coast of Crete, Greece induring the Finokalia Aerosol Measurement Experiment in May 2008 (FAME-2008). A reduced Dry-Ambient Aerosol Size Spectrometer (DAASS) was deployed to measure the aerosol water content and ...

Technology for Improving Technical, Economic and Ecological Efficiency of Boiler Plants Using Physico-Chemical Correction of the Water-Fuel Emulsions Composition [PDF]
The aim of this work is to substantiate the possibility of increasing the technical, economic and environmental efficiency, as well as the efficiency of boilers (in terms of the intensity of corrosion processes) when burning water-fuel emulsions with the

Dry or water world? How the water contents of inner sub-Neptunes constrain giant planet formation and the location of the water ice line [PDF]
In the pebble accretion scenario, the pebbles that form planets drift inward from the outer disk regions, carrying water ice with them. At the water ice line, the water ice on the inward drifting pebbles evaporates and is released into the gas phase, resulting in water-rich gas and dry pebbles that move into the inner disk regions.

Factors Influencing the Mechanical Characteristics of a Pile–Soil Interface in Clay Soil
A series of direct shear tests using a large-scale constant-normal-stiffness direct-shear testing system was conducted to study the factors that influence the mechanical characteristics of a pile–soil interface (PSI) in clay soil. Interfaces of different

Softening of Temperate Ice by Interstitial Water
Ice at depth in ice-stream shear margins is thought to commonly be temperate, with interstitial meltwater that softens ice. Models that include this softening extrapolate results of a single experimental study in which ice effective viscosity decreased ...

Local variation in absolute water content of human and rabbit eye lenses measured by Raman microspectroscopy [PDF]
Raman spectra were obtained from fresh, fixed and sliced rabbit lenses and from human lens slices. For all lenses and lens slices the ratio R, defined as the Raman intensity at 3390 cm−1 divided by the Raman intensity at 2935 cm−1, was measured at ...

On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...
