Water State of Soil Experienced Wetting–Drying Cycles

Indian Geotechnical Journal, 2020
Owing to rainfall and evaporation in nature’s water succession, clay soil inevitably experiences wetting–drying cycles. In the present study, experiments are carried out to investigate variations in the water state (i.e., adsorbed and bulk) during the wetting process and again after experiencing 0–4 wetting–drying cycles.

Wet-dry cycles protect surface-colonizing bacteria from major antibiotic classes

The ISME Journal, 2021
Abstract Diverse antibiotic compounds are abundant in microbial habitats undergoing recurrent wet-dry cycles, such as soil, root and leaf surfaces, and the built environment. These antibiotics play a central role in microbial warfare and competition, thus affecting population dynamics and the composition of natural microbial ...

Army Vehicle Primer Properties During Wet-Dry Cycling

Corrosion, 2009
The standard QUV/Prohesion accelerated testing method simulates weathering conditions by exposing coatings to alternating wet and dry conditions. The degradation of the coatings is influenced by the transport of water and ionic species across the coating to the substrate.

Dimensional variations of Roman masonry subjected to wetting-drying cycles

Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites, 2001
AbstractMany Roman monuments made of opus caementicium are subjected to wetting and drying phenomena caused by water or/and humidity from the ground. The action of water impregnation on the hypothetical dimensional changes in this Roman concrete has not been considered in the literature and no experimental data are available.The purpose of this work ...

Modelling Wet-Dry Cycles in the Binary Polymer Model

2023
A key question concerning the origin of life is whether polymers, such as nucleic acids and proteins, can spontaneously form in prebiotic conditions. Several studies have shown that, by alternating (i) a phase in which a system is in a water-rich condition and (ii) one in which there is a relatively small amount of water, it is possible to achieve ...
