Moisture stress conditioning, potassium nutrition, and tolerance of Salvia splendens 'Bonfire' to moisture stress
… Salvia splendens 'Bonfire‘ as influenced by moisture stress conditioning (MSC - exposing plants to 4 sublethal dry-down cycles) and potassium (K) nutrition. Plants were fertilized with one of six K rates: 25, 75, 150, 300, 450, and 600 ppm as KCl in experiment one. Seven weeks after seeding …

Nonisothermal moisture transport in wood
… the uniaxial (tangential direction) equilibrium moisture profiles in moisture-sealed wood samples subjected to constant but different temperatures T on opposite faces, and to compare these profiles with those predicted by each of several theoretical models. Each test assembly consisted of eight …

Moisture redistribution in screeded concrete slabs
… a screeded concrete slab predictable. Residual moisture in screeded concrete slabs may redistribute to the top screed surface under semi-permeable flooring, thus elevating the relative humidity, RH, and possibly exceed the critical humidity level. Passing the critical humidity level may result …

Moisture Buffering in the Indoor Environment
Moisture buffering in the indoor environment is the ability, through absorption and desorption, of surface materials to attenuate the moisture variations of the indoor air. Moisture buffering plays an important role in understanding the risks for biological growth in surface materials in the indoor …

CFRP Prestressed Concrete Exposed to Moisture
In environments of high moisture exposure, carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement is believed to be a good alternative to steel due to its non-corrosive properties. However the CFRP matrix experiences other types of changes, mechanical deterioration and transverse swelling, with …

Moisture production of growing turkey poults
… of turkeys has created a need for data on the moisture production of turkeys. Sufficient data do not exist in the literature. Some research has been conducted at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Turkey Research Center, but the past facilities dealt only with full grown …

Soil moisture dynamics and soil moisture controlled runoff processes at different spatial scales : from observation to modelling
Soil moisture is a key state variable that controls runoff formation, infiltration and partitioning of radiation into latent and sensible heat. However, the experimental characterisation of near surface soil moisture patterns and their controls on runoff formation remains a challenge. This subject …

Fermentation, utilization and palatability of broiler litter ensiled at different moisture levels and with high moisture corn grain
… litter alone, with added water or with high moisture corn grain was evaluated. Wood shaving based broiler litter was ensiled in small laboratory silos (about 4 liters) at moisture levels of 15.6 (no water added), 20, 30, 40 and 50%. Maximum fermentation was approached at 40% moisture as …

Moisture occurrence in roof assemblies containing moisture storing insulation and its impact on the durability of building envelope
Moisture storing insulation such as cellulose has gained a large segment of the residential market, both in new and retrofit construction. Moisture deposited by exfiltration and adsorbed within the envelope reduces the thermal performance of the envelope and favors fungus growth leading to …

Moisture diffusion through vinyl ester/clay nanocomposites
Moisture diffusion was studied through vinyl ester samples containing up to 5 wt% montmorillonite clay; two different kinds of clay surface treatments were employed to make the clay compatible with the vinyl ester resin. These nanocomposites were characterized using differential scanning …

Modeling Moisture-Induced Damage in Asphalt Concrete
Moisture damage in Asphalt Concrete (AC) is not new but an unsolved problem. For decades laboratory studies have been conducted on both loose and compacted mix to understand the effects of moisture on the AC damage. Adhesive and cohesive damages are the two major types of damages occur inside the …
