Abstract:

Vidalia onions were grown following recommended cultural practices in 1994-1996 and they were harvested at early, optimum, or late maturity. After onions were cured for various lengths of time, a random sample of onions was marked for individual measurement. All onions were placed into either low or high humidity A/C controlled storage for up to 30 weeks. Onions were removed as they showed signs of being rotten. Initially, and every 2 weeks thereafter, weight and grade data were collected from individual onions and in bulk from other onions. There were up to 96 treatment combinations each year

Abstract:

Soil moisture is an important link between material and energy exchange between the land and atmosphere, and its evaporation loss is crucial to sustainable development of agriculture. Based on observations of long-term stable isotopes of soil moisture in the eastern Loess Plateau (ECLP) during the non-rainy season growing period, this study systematically explored soil water evaporation loss at different soil depths using the Craig–Gordon model and revealed the internal relationship between soil evaporation loss and environmental elements. Main findings included: (1) The soil moisture content

Abstract:

Wood, being a natural hygroscopic material, the interaction between wood and moisture plays a crucial role in wood processing and utilization. Moisture affects the physical and mechanical properties of wood, and is also one of the main external factors that cause wood deformation and cracking. Drying shrinkage is a common phenomenon during the processing and utilization of wood induced by moisture loss. Drying stress is the main cause of wood deformation and cracking. The shrinkage differential between tangential and radial direction and moisture content gradient of wood are two reasons induce

Abstract:

The effects of wood fiber and polypropylene fiber on the mechanical performance, drying shrinkage and moisture loss of sulphoaluminate cement (SAC) mortar were studied. The experimental results show that wood fiber and polypropylene fiber can both improve the flexural strength of the mortar and reduce drying shrinkage ratio and moisture loss at different ages. Polypropylene fiber can also improve the late compressive strength of the mortar. Adding 0.3% mass fraction of wood fiber, the drying shrinkage ratio and moisture loss of the motar reach minimum values. The drying shrinkage ratio reduces

Considerable delay is noticed between harvesting of leaf and feeding to silkworm during Chotua (February to March) and Aherua (June-July) muga seed crops during indoor rearing. After harvest, the leaves lose their moisture gradually. The loss of moisture during 9.00 A.M. to 4.00 P.M. was determined in the 8 morphotypes of Som (Machilus bombycina). The loss of moisture was least (6.19%) in morphotype M (5) and maximum (24.75%) in M (1), in others it was 9.12% in M (2);

Wood drying is one of various stages in the carbonization process, therefore proper monitoring is key to improving yield and obtaining quality charcoal. Prior to being subjected to carbonization by charcoal production plants and once trees have been felled, logs are piled up by the roadside or close to carbonization furnaces and left air drying for 90 days until an optimal 30% moisture content is reached. This work aims to evaluate air drying of logs from an Eucalyptus urophylla clone for carbonization use, analyzing moisture reduction over time and also the influence of log diameter and bark.

The objective of the work reported here was to determine changes in the moisture content, firmness characteristics, color attributes and NIR absorbance of two carrot cultivars during storage. There was a definite loss in the moisture content that caused changes in the firmness. This result shows that carrot firmness is very sensitive to the moisture content. The firmness — especially the cutting force — is a good characteristic for predicting changes in carrot moisture content during storage.

Abstract:

One of the drawbacks of natural fibers and their composites is their inherent hydrophilic nature. The effect of moisture on the mechanical properties of composites is irrefutable. This study deals with the hygroscopic characteristics of enset–PLA composites and their effect on the mechanical properties of the composites. To do this, injection-molded composite specimens with different fiber volume fractions, plasticizer ratios, fiber lengths, and fiber ages were considered. The specimens were exposed to distilled water, and the moisture absorption was monitored on a daily basis. Subsequently, t

Water shortage is the main bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of rain-fed jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) orchards in the loess hilly region of China. Given the effect of mulching on soil moisture conservation, straw mulching (SM) and jujube branch mulching (BM) were applied to a rain-fed jujube orchard in this study. Soil moisture dynamics, soil water storage, water consumption, and soil moisture attenuation after typical rainfall under SM, BM, and clean tillage (CT) were studied. The results showed the following: (1) The 0–60 cm soil layer was the seasonal fluctuation layer of

Abstract:

Postharvest moisture and needle retention of boughs was examined for four Danish and five U.S. provenances of noble fir grown in Denmark. Boughs were displayed indoors under controlled conditions, and data were collected relating to rates of moisture loss and needle retention. Small current-year shoots had moisture and needle loss patterns similar to larger bough material. Postharvest quality of the Danish and U.S. provenance boughs was very similar. There was also a high correlation between the moisture level of the boughs and shoots, indicating that it should be possible to use small shoots

Abstract:

Air layers in multi-layer firefighter clothing ensembles resist heat transfer from the body to the environment. By reducing the volume of air between clothing layers, heat loss may be improved throughout the multi-layer firefighter turnout suit clothing system, potentially leading to reduced heat strain for the wearer. This research utilized a systems-level approach to the methodology in order to measure the effects of fabric properties and garment air gap dimensions on clothing system heat loss through specially configured turnout suit constructions.

Abstract:

Moisture content and shrinkage strain are essential parameters during the wood drying process. The accurate detection of these parameters has very important significance for controlling the drying process and minimizing drying defects. The presented study describes an electrochemical method to determine wood moisture content and shrinkage strain during drying, and the accuracy of this method is also evaluated. According to the results, the electrical resistance of the samples increased with the decrease in wood moisture content. As the moisture content changed from 42% to 12%, the resistance i

Abstract:

Pongamia (Pongamia pinnata) is a non-food plant that has the potential to be developed as a biofuel because its seeds’ oil content is up to 40%. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of seeds for germination in relation to mass cultivation and information on oil content as a production consideration. This paper aimed to describe the sensitivity of pongamia seed moisture content to germination and its oil content and also to understand the seed category. Variations in moisture content were obtained from storing seeds at ambient temperature for up to 5 months. Moisture content,

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of temperature and moisture levels on vitamin A in the total mixed ration (TMR) silage. The moisture levels of TMR were adjusted to 450 g/kg, 525 g/kg and 600 g/kg. Each moisture level had three replications and fermented at 15 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The TMR was sampled after 0, 7, 14, 28 and 56 days of ensiling. The fermentation quality, chemical composition and vitamin A content were analyzed.

Abstract:

Eucalyptus spp. are among the most suitable species for biomass production, even for the firewood derived from medium-rotation coppice (MRC). The general problem of wood is that it cannot be utilized immediately because of the high moisture content, which in the combustion process would reduce remarkably the yield of energy. In this context, outdoor storage of whole stems without branches (WS), outdoor storage of whole stems with branches (WSB), open shed storage of firewood logs in mesh bags (OSF), and outdoor firewood logs in mesh bags (ODF) of Eucalyptus spp woody biomass were compared in t

Flowers which recorded optimum moisture loss provided rigidity and uniform cell contraction with shape retention while higher moisture loss resulted in shriveled flowers.
