Swelling behavior of Illinois coal shale
… generated within the shale when it is subject to humidity changes caused by atmospheric variation at the mine entrance. The model is dependent principally upon the Moisture Activity Index of the shale and the original humidity level of the environment.</p> <p>The petrologic and physical parameters …

Biomimetic Textiles: Design and development of moisture sensitive adaptive textile prototype for application in casual clothing systems
… of spaces each defined by unique temperature, humidity and activity level. It is impossible to predict possible eventualities and consequently accommodate in a selection of clothing to ensure physiological comfort. Modular clothing assemblies are currently employed for the management of …

Modeling the behavior of wood-based composite sheathing under hygrothermal load
… externally or internally are exposed to relative humidity and/or temperature changes. The subsequent moisture content change of the panels will result in two types of deformations as follows: 1. elastic deformation of the panel due to the constraint, 2. warpage of the panel due to the unbalanced …

Land-ocean contrasts under climate change
… more than ocean temperatures, low-level relative humidity increases over ocean but decreases over land, and the water cycle has a muted response over land in comparison to ocean regions at similar latitudes. A comprehensive physical understanding of these land-ocean contrasts has not been …

Development and Effectiveness of Three Hydrocolloid-Lipid Emulsion Coatings on Preservation of Quality Characteristics in Green Bell Peppers
… (p<0.06) than coated peppers. Significant weekly changes (all treatment groups combined) included linear increases in respiration rates (p<0.01) and moisture loss (p<0.01), increasing linear and quadratic trends in uronic acid content (p<0.01 for both trends), increasing quadratic trends for both …

Structure and Function of the Viscous Capture Spiral and its Relationship to the Architecture of Spider Orb Webs
… aurantia droplets, mediating the effect of daily humidity changes, an important environmental effect on the glue's performance. The second study demonstrates that capture spiral droplets of spiders that build webs in habitats ranging from full sun to shade and nocturnal species (Argiope aurantia, …

Stormy records from peat bogs in south-west Sweden : implications for regional climatic variability and vegetation changes during the past 6500 years
… and explain variations in storm activity, humidity, vegetation composition and land cover in south-west Sweden during the past 6500 years. Two ombrotrophic bogs, Store Mosse and Undarsmosse, situated on the coastal plain of Halland, were selected for this purpose. The coastal plain of …

East African climate variability on different time scales : the Suguta Valley in the African-Asian Monsoon Domain
… this thesis concentrated on the understanding of humidity changes within the last African Humid Period (AHP, 14.8-5.5 ka BP). The nature and causes of intensity variations of the West-African (WAM) and Indian Summer monsoons (ISM) during the AHP, especially their exact influence on regional …

Carbon nanotube based carbon dioxide gas sensors for respiratory monitoring.
… embodiment is several times more sensitive to humidity in the environment. Since humidity variation happens simultaneously with CO2 variation in exhaled breath, this is found not to be a viable technique for respiratory CO2 measurement. This early failure suggested a need for a sensor that was …
