Water Transport Terminal
… helps mitigate the lateral forces of wind and water in which it would stand. The conical form and scale achieved in the proposal would also help create a landmark to the city's growing skyline. It also acts as the point of threshold between land and water, providing an opportunity to sense …

Water transport in fuel cell membranes measured by laser interferometry
… drag were found to increase with the increasing water content, which indicates that the Grotthuss mechanism of proton transfer is not active in the membranes with low water content. The successful evaluation of these coefficients has not only showed the validity of this new technique, which is …

Automated quantification of plant water transport network failure using deep learning
… caused by the formation of embolisms which block water flow in a plant's xylem conduits. By tracking these failures over time, vulnerability curves (VCs) can be created. The creation of these curves is laborious and time consuming. This study seeks to automate the creation of these curves. In …

Illuminating controls on solute and water transport in the critical zone
… support a growing human population. Traditional transport equations often fail to capture the environmental behavior of these emerging contaminants due to issues such as flow heterogeneity. Thus, there is a need to better evaluate controls on pollutant partitioning in Earth's critical zone. Our …

Mechanisms Underlying Variation in Insect Chill Tolerance: The Role of Ion and Water Transport
Water and ion homeostasis has emerged as an important factor limiting chill-susceptible insects at low temperatures; loss of this homeostasis in the cold likely contributes to chronic chilling injury, and reestablishment of homeostasis is required for recovery from chilling. Both plastic and …

Investigation of Water Transport Parameters and Processes in the Gas Diffusion Layer of PEM Fuel Cells
… relationships are developed to describe the water transport characteristics of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Additionally, experimental fixtures and procedures for the determination of the constitutive relationships are presented. The water …

Water Transport in the Vadose Zone and Hydrological Processes in Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) in West Texas, USA
Water and energy transport in the vadose zone is critical in linking the atmosphere and groundwater system, which plays an important role in the terrestrial hydrological cycle. Although numerous studies have been conducted, the comprehensive understanding of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum …

Effects of sodium chloride and sodium gluconate concentration on hydration behavior and water transport in the red-spotted toad, Bufo punctatus
Toads hydrate from standing water or moist substrates by osmotic absorbtion across the ventral skin. On land toads adopt a distinctive posture called the water absorption response (WR) to maximize contact with the substrate and facilitate water absorption. Experiments using hydration behavior on …
