Investigation of Water-Repellent Thrust Bearing
Tribology Online, 2010 In this study, the flat thrust bearing was developed by actively exploiting the slip flow generated on a water-repellent surface. In order to produce a load, bearing has a structure that generates pressure flow by using the discontinuity of the shear ...

The influence of water repellent products on the chromatic modifications of the ceramic brick
Materiales de Construccion, 2011 Chromatic variation, colour and luminosity, undergone by the ceramic support protected by the incorporation of a treatment with water repellent products, is analysed. A new methodology is suggested, based on RGB model where quantifiable values from each

Water Movement and Finger Flow Characterization in Homogeneous Water-Repellent Soils
Vadose Zone Journal, 2018 Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread property in soils around the world. It influences soil water movement and causes unstable flow. The mechanics of finger flow occurrence in water-repellent soils are not clearly understood.

Cover systems with synthetic water‐repellent soils
Vadose Zone Journal, 2021 A cover system is a crucial component of engineered landfills, to minimize water percolation into the underlying waste. Capillary barriers are an alternative cover system, which has been widely used in the arid and semiarid regions as no cohesive, low ...

Is the Rhizosphere Temporarily Water Repellent?
Vadose Zone Journal, 2012 The rhizosphere has a controlling role in the flow of water and nutrients from soil to plant roots; however, its hydraulic properties are not well understood. As roots grow, they change the pore size distribution of the surrounding soil. Roots release polymeric substances such as mucilage into their rhizosphere. Microorganisms living in the rhizosphere

Plant-based insect repellents: a review of their efficacy, development and testing. [PDF]
, 2011 : Plant-based repellents have been used for generations in traditional practice as a personal protection measure against host-seeking mosquitoes. Knowledge on traditional repellent plants obtained through ethnobotanical studies is a valuable resource for
