Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalysis of Non-Equilibrium Phase Change in Transfers at Low Water Content by Considering the Film FlowMarcel Bawindsom Kébré, François Ouédraogo, Bétaboalé Naon et al.In this study, we analyze the effect of non-equilibrium phase change on transfer at low water content in a sandy soil by considering the contribution of film flow in the motion of liquid water. Indeed, most of the non-equilibrium study methods use for hydraulic conductivity, the van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) capillary model which does not consider the film flow occurred at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2021 · 6,395 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF PADDY SOIL UNDER VARIOUS PRESSURE, WATER CONTENT AND TOOL SHAPESI. A. Mari, C. Ji, F. A. Chandio et al.In this study Burger’s four element model was used to analyze rheological parameter of paddy soil of the Southern China. Two types of tool shape include circular shape (with an area of 12.56 cm2) and rectangular shape (with an area of 12.56 cm2) were use to measure the rheological parameter of paddy soil under different loading pressure (7.65, 10.20 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 14 Dec 2013 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCalibration and Simultaneous Monitoring of Soil Water Content and Salinity with Capacitance and Four-electrode ProbesTadaomi Saito, Haruyuki Fujimaki, Mitsuhiro InoueNon-destructive monitoring of soil water content (W) and the electrical conductivity of the soil solution (ECw) has been desired for environmental evaluation and sustainable agriculture. Dielectric probes and four-electrode probes are widely used for the non-destructive determination of W and the soil bulk electrical conductivity (ECb), respectively. Since the output of dielectric probes is affected by soil salinity, the calibration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Water Bath Heating on Tannin Content and Quality Improvement Potential of Gambier (Uncaria gambir Roxb.)Daimon Syukri, Bastian Nova, Rina Yenrina et al.Gambir (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) is a source of natural phenolic compounds rich in catechins and tannins and has potential as a sustainable industrial raw material. During heating, phenolic compounds may undergo structural changes, including possible oxidation and polymerization, which can affect gambier quality beyond its catechin content. This study evaluated the effect of indirect heating duration using a water bath … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 23 Sep 2026 · 704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Study on the Effect of Different Levels of Zeolit and Water Stress on Growth, Development and Essential Oil Content of Moldavian Balm (Dracocephalum moldavica L.)A. Gholizadeh, M.S.M. Amin, A.R. Anuar et al.Problem statement: In order to meet the ever increasing demand of medicinal plants, for the indigenous systems of medicine as well as for the pharmaceutical industry, some medicinal plants need to be cultivated commercially and moldavian balm (Dracocephalum moldavica) is one of them. Approach: To determine the effects of zeolite and water stress on aforementioned plant's phisiomorphological characteristics, an experiment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermination and Evaluation of Antioxidative Activity in Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) and Green Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa)Normala Halimoon, Mardhiah Hayati Abdul HasanProblem statement: Dragon fruit or pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus), is believed to be a healthy source of vitamins, fiber and antioxidants, especially the red-fleshed varieties which contain lycopene. Approach:Compared to green kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa), which already known contain high antioxidant activity. Results:The antioxidant capacity of Hylocereus undatus (H. undatus) and Actinidia deliciosa (A. deliciosa) in three different solvent extraction; ethanol, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 9,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhysiological 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 PDFCite
