Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermodynamic Modeling and Heat-Moisture Transfer Characteristic Analysis of in Situ Thermal Desorption System for Polluted SoilHuijuan Xu, Yanjun Bi, Lijun Gao, Dongxiao MaIn Situ Gas Thermal Desorption (ISGTD) is one of the effective approaches for organic contaminated soil. To investigate the heat-moisture transfer characteristics of soil during the heating process, a radially layered coupled heat-moisture model of the ISGTD system is established. The temperature and moisture distribution along the radial direction of the heat source, as well as the synergistic action of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2024 · 4,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhancing the Effectiveness of Feed Production in Arid Areas, Northern Kazakhstan, Considering the Utilization of Soil Moisture ResourcesKudaybergen Konopianov, Irina Anikina, Karina Omarova et al.The problems of sustainability of crop production in arid regions are actual. Moreover, often the aridity factor is combined with other stress factors, such as elevated temperatures and soil salinity. The article evaluates the effectiveness of the use of moisture and heat resources when growing fodder crops in arid conditions with a short growing season. In order to compare the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 24 May 2024 · 4,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Moisture Content and Loading Orientation on Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Tiger NutLong Wang, Can Hu, Wensong Guo et al.The physical and mechanical properties of the newly “Zhongyousha No.1” and the traditional “Yousha” Chinese tiger nut varieties are studied. Several physical and mechanical properties of the two tiger nut varieties were determined as a function of moisture content (at five levels of 40.0, 32.0, 24.0, 16.0 and 8.0% wet basis). The physical and mechanical properties including length, width, thickness, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2021 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Moisture Content on Thermal Properties of Adobe Bricks as a Sustainable Building MaterialSuleman Modu NgaramThe adobe is a widely used traditional material in popular building construction in rural areas of Northeastern, Nigeria and more generally in African countries. In order to increase comfort and energy efficiency of buildings, it is necessary to better consider the thermal properties of the adobe. Adobes at different locations as a function of moisture content have been studied. Thermal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2020 · 10,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Visceral Organ, Gastrointestinal Tract and Blood Characteristics in Pegagan Ducks Fed Ration Fermented by Tape Yeast with Different Moisture ContentFitra Yosi, Sofia Sandi, MiksusantiThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of administration diet containing locally sourced materials fermented by tape yeast with different moisture content on the weight of the visceral organs, gastrointestinal tract and blood chemistry and profile of Pegagan ducks. As many as 200 Pegagan ducks aged 3 days were kept for 6 weeks in colony cages. This … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2017 · 9,228 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Absorbing Agent on Moisture Reserves of Winter Wheat in the Conditions of Semiprovided Dry Farming Land of the South-East of KazakhstanLaila Klimovna Tabynbayeva, Serik Barmenbekovich Kenenbayev, Meiramgul Shagievna Suleimenova et al.In the conditions of dry-land farming, the leading factor of productivity, which is minimal, is moisture. Soil moisture directly influences the growth of plants by means of aeration, transfer of nutrient substances, absorption and transformation. The main crop acreage of the spike cereals in the south-east of Kazakhstan is located in dry farming lands that are characterized as dry and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2017 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCompaction Properties of Silty Soils in Relation to Soil Texture, Moisture Content and Organic MatterPrathuang Usaborisut, Jettapol AmpanmaneeSoil compaction is recognized as an increasingly challenging problem with regard to root growth and yield reduction in agricultural production in Thailand. The aim of this research was to study the effect of soil texture, moisture content and organic matter on the compaction properties of silty soils. Three soils with different silt contents were studied-loam, silty clay loam and silt … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2015 · 9,536 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRice Grain Moisture Determination Using Microstrip Wide-Ring and Microstrip Coupled-Line SensorsHou Kit Mun, Kok Yeow You, Mohamad Ngasri DimonDetermining the Moisture Content (MC) inside rice grain is an important element for grain processesing such as harvesting, storage, quality control and transportation. A microstrip wide-ring sensor and a microstrip coupled-line sensor with low insertion loss were developed to operate at relatively low frequency to determine the MC and relative complex permittivity of rice grain. The complex permittivity for rice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2015 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
