Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Twelve Dielectric Moisture Probes for Soil Water Measurement under Saline ConditionsM. Inoue, B.A. Ould Ahmed, T. Saito, M. IrshadRecently the research on the determination of soil water content and electrical conductivity using automated technique has received tremendous attention. Selecting the type of system that should be used for soil water measurement under saline conditions depends on its precision. A laboratory study was carried out to measure the soil water content (θ) and soil solution electrical conductivity (ECw) using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleField and Laboratory Suction- Soil Moisture Relationship of Unsaturated Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal H. Ali, A. AbdullahSoils located above the groundwater table such as residual soils are generally unsaturated and possess negative pore-water pressures. A soil-water (moisture) characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water content of a soil to matric suction is an important relationship for the unsaturated soil mechanics. The SWCC essentially shows the ability of an unsaturated soil to retain water under various matric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Heat Moisture Treatment Using Different Solvents and Incubation Times on Resistant Starch Formation of Rice FlourAnuchita Moongngarm, Piyatida Srijinda, Tatdao Paseephol et al.The thermal and pasting properties and Resistant Starch (RS) formation of high amylose rice flour were investigated at 121°C using different solvents and storage times. The samples treated with water and lactic acid 10 mmol/L with storage times 0, 24, 48 and 72 h had the highest degree of gelatinization, ranging from 98.64 to 99.86%. The samples treated with ethanol … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 9 Sep 2015 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAtmospheric Moisture Condensation to Water Recovery by Home Air ConditionersAmir Hossein Mahvi, Vali Alipour, Leila RezaeiEarth’s atmosphere contains billion cubic meters of fresh water, which is considerable as a reliable water resource, especially in sultry areas. What is important in this context, how to extract the water, in an economic manner. In order to extract water from air conditioner, no need to spend any cost, because water produced as a by-product and trouble production. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSensitivity of Okra Growth Indices to Various Moisture ConditionsAkeem MakindeThis study evaluates the effects of flooding conditions on two Okra cultivars (Ibadan local and Jokoso) at Abeokuta, Nigeria. The flooding conditions vary from continuous Flooding (FLD), Wetting after three Days (W3D), Wetting after five Days (W5D), Wetting after seven Days (W7D), and Wetting after ten Days (W10D). The agronomic parameters (leaf width, leaf length, plant height, numbers of leaves, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 4 Aug 2022 · 6,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Animal Manure Application Rates on Soil Moisture Conservation at, Somali Regional State, EthiopiaTekilil WoldeThe Ethiopian economy is mainly agrarian. It employs 85% of the population and contributes 45% of the gross domestic product and 90% of the national export earnings but agriculture in Ethiopia is dominated by rainfed farming with low productivity specially dry land part of the country like Somali region. As a result, crops have severe moisture stress through their growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2019 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDurum Wheat Seed Germination Response to Hydrogel Coatings and Moisture under Drought StressMaya Hotta, James Kennedy, Clement Higginbotham, Noreen MorrisTechnologies that can increase crop production while maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds (Triticum durum Desf.) which were coated with synthetic coatings [polyacrylamide (PA)] and novel natural coatings [mixtures of agar/ι-carrageenan (AC)] at different moisture levels. A number of germination performance indicators were measured for each of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 May 2016 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleElapse Time Factor on Induced Vegetative Moisture Uptake in an Unsaturated SoilMuazu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soil consolidation is generally time dependent, therefore soil displacement as a result root water uptake is space and time dependent. The time-dependent nature of abstraction of ground water by vegetation need to be evaluated in order understand the effect of time elapse on matric suction a generation and subsequent ground displacement. Approach: The current approach used the theory … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil-moisture Retention Characteristics of Earth Materials in the Weathering Profile over a Porphyritic Biotite GraniteJohn Kuna RajProblem statement: Three broad morphological zones and several sub-zones were differentiated within the weathering profile based on variations in earth materials and the degree of preservation of original bedrock minerals, textures and structures. Approach: The topmost Zone I (Grade 6) is some 12 m thick and comprises completely weathered bedrock materials (mainly a stiff, clayey sand) with indistinct relict bedrock … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Methyl Cellulose Coating and Pre-Treatment on Oil Uptake, Moisture Retention and Physical Properties of Deep-Fat Fried Starchy Dough SystemJihad M. Quasem, Ayman Suliman Mazahreh, Khaled Abu-Alruz et al.Problem statement: The influence of edible methyl cellulose coating and blanching pre-treatment in reducing oil uptake and moisture loss during frying of starchy dough system was investigated.
