Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimplified Procedure for Unsaturated Flow ParametersNatthawit Jitrapinate, Vichai Sriboonlue, Kriengsak Srisuk, Dolrerdee HormdeeProblem statement: The unsaturated hydraulic conductivity K(θ) and Soil Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) for saline soil or soil directly contacted with saline water are not permitted using several apparatus to determining. Approach: A simplified method to determine K(θ) and SWCC by using simple apparatus is presented. Using the proposed numerical model with the van Genuchten equations and inverse calculation for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,828 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimate of Safe Angle for Cut Slopes Under Different Geology and Rainfall Intensity in Central NepalPrabin Shrestha, Khomendra Bhandari, Mahendra Acharya et al.This research has been carried out on a cut slope of Kathmandu-Terai Fast Track Road near Koppugaon located at Dakshinkali Municipality, Kathmandu. The cutting of the slope without considering the possible effects of geological parameters of slope material may cause unexpected slope failures which may cause loss of lives and properties. This research deals with the effects of rainfall and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2024 · 9,628 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Thermo-Physical Properties of Soil Using Solarisation TechnologyAhmed Abed Gatea Al-Shammary, Abbas Kouzani, Akif Kaynak et al.Soil Thermo-Physical Properties (TPP) depend on heat transfer in the soil. This paper presents a study on different soil solarisation technologies influenced by soil TPP. This study evaluates three factors: The tillage depth for soil at three levels (15, 25 and 45 cm), the number of plastic film at three levels (single, double and without plastic film) and three cases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2017 · 7,957 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response of Soybean (Glycine max) to Foliar Application of Methanol Under Different Soil MoisturesFarzad Paknejad, Mojtaba Mirakhori, Majid Jami Al-Ahmadi et al.Problem statement: Many cultivated area are situated in arid zone, where crop photosynthesis and productivity has limited by drought. Thus any treatment, such as methanol, that improve plant water relation and reduce stress impacts, could be benefit. Approach: In order to investigate effects of methanol application on some physiological properties of soybean under low water stress, a factorial experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,150 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying Parawood with Superheated SteamSurachai Bovornsethanan, Somchai WongwisesA superheated steam dryer (SSD) was used to dry the parawood. The average moisture content and temperatures in the dryer vs. elapsed drying time were experimentally investigated. It was found that the superheated steam could increase the potential of the conventional hot air drying. By using a SSD at the superheated steam temperature of 110°C with volumetric flow rate of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,256 accessesView PDF Cite
