Abstract:

Moisture damage is a common problem faced by highway agencies. Researchers have developed laboratory test methods over the years to identify moisture-susceptible asphalt concrete mixtures, but none of them has been consistently successful. A new laboratory test method, the Environmental Conditioning System, was developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program. This new test method has a distinct advantage over the existing methods because it can simulate field conditions. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the method showed that although it is a promising concept, it needs further mo

Abstract:

Summary The concentration of individual resin acids and the equilibrium moisture content at a relative humidity of 100% were studied in brown-rot resistant and susceptible Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) heartwood. About 90% of the resin acids in the heartwood were of the abietane type, abietic acid being the most abundant. The concentration of resin acids was higher in the decay-resistant heartwood than in the decay-susceptible heartwood. Resin acids are presumably in part responsible for the decay resistance of Scots pine heartwood. However, no clear relationship was found between the conce

Abstract The properties of several modified wood products were evaluated using North American standards to provide comparative data for architects seeking to use these materials. In general, modified wood products had lower moisture uptakes and less shrinkage than unmodified products. Acetylated materials were highly resistant to fungal decay, whereas thermally modified and furfurylated materials were classified as decay resistant. All materials were susceptible to mold, although the nonacetylated moisture-resistant medium-density fiberboard was most susceptible. Thermally modified and furfury

A simple tube suction test has been developed by the Finnish National Road Administration for evaluating unstabilized granular base material.

A probe is used to measure the dielectric constant at the surface of the sample. The dielectric constant is a measure of the free, or unbound, water within the aggregate sample. It is this unbound water that is thought to be directly related to the strength of the material and its ability to withstand repeated freeze-tha

Abstract:

This manuscript presents a new method to monitor and localize the moisture distribution in a rice silo based on tomography images. Because the rice grain is naturally hygroscopic, the stored grains’ quality depends on their level of moisture content. Higher moisture content leads to fibre degradation, making the grains too frail and possibly milled. If the moisture is too low, the grains become brittle and are susceptible to higher breakage. At present, the single-point measurement method is unreliable because the moisture build-up inside the silo might be distributed unevenly. In addition, th

Abstract. After being harvested, cereal grain and oilseed are stored and dried in large cylindrical storage bins. Drying is necessary to prevent spoilage and degradation; however, because of the significant depth of material in the drying bin, a common problem in grain and oilseed drying is overdrying the bottom layer while trying to dry the top layer. This is due to insufficient knowledge of moisture throughout the bin. In some cases, an operator is limited to probing reachable locations to determine moisture content. However, this does not lend to observing the dynamics of moisture content w

When biological yields were high a two tonne increase in biological yield led to a one point increase in lodging score. Mechanical harvesting increased

Abstract:

Changes in temperature, relative humidity, and moisture content of green coffee beans were monitored during transportation of coffee from Brazil to Italy. Six containers (three conventional and three prototype) were stowed in three different places (hold, first floor, and deck) on the ship. Each prototype was located next to a conventional container. The moisture content of the coffee in the container located on the first floor was less affected by environmental variations (0.7%) than that in the hold and on the deck. Coffee located in the hold showed the highest variation in moisture content

Abstract:

The relationship between fleece wetting and drying characteristics and liability of sheep to fleece rot and body strike was examined following experimental wetting. The liability of sheep to fleece rot was reflected by both wetting and drying characteristics. Wetness of the fleece was estimated gravimetrically and was found to be a simple, fast and relatively robust technique. Moisture increased from 13% in the dry fleece up to 123% at skin level in sheep exposed from 0 to 10 days' wetting. Consistent differences were reported in proximal and full staple moisture levels between sheep affected

AbstractThe growth response of annual sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.) to anticipated future climate conditions is currently unknown, and thus two parallel studies were conducted dealing with glyphosate-resistant (GR) and glyphosate-susceptible (GS) biotypes of S. oleraceus. The glyphosate efficacy study was conducted using different doses of glyphosate (0 [control], 180, 360, 720 [recommended dose], and 1,440 g ae ha−1) at two different moisture levels (well-watered and water-stressed conditions).

AbstractThe present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of a unique combination of fillers on interfacial bond strength and moisture-induced damage potential of asphalt mastic. One asphalt binder (AC-30), three fillers including Basalt (B), Hydrated Lime (HL), and Nano-Hydrated lime (NHL) were selected to prepare asphalt mastics for a wide range of filler-binder (f/b) ratio (0.6 to 1.2). The dosages of HL and NHL were considered 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight of asphalt binder, and the dosage of B filler was adjusted to meet the respective f/b ratio. The interfacial bond streng

One of the most common problems pavements have is the loss of adhesion and cohesion due to moisture damage. Tropical countries and rainy seasons are some of the causes for this type of distress on roads. Another factor that has high influence in this damage is the mineralogy of the aggregate. This research shows the results of adhesion and cohesion between the aggregates from a limestone quarry and two types of sandstones from different quarries, highly used for roads projects from Colombia, and the asphalt 60-70 (1/10) mm, same PG58-22.

Abstract:

Disruption to the integrity of the skin can reduce patient wellbeing and quality of life. A major cause of skin breakdown is prolonged exposure to moisture, but this is often overlooked. When skin is wet, it becomes more susceptible to damage from friction and shearing forces, and skin flora can penetrate the disrupted barrier, causing further irritation and inflammation. If untreated, moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) can rapidly lead to excoriation and skin breakdown. MASD includes incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), which is caused by prolonged skin exposure to urine and stool, p

Fabric placed over human skin may change the stratum corneum (SC) hydration level, an important phenomenon because increases in normal levels of SC hydration pose potential health problems. The skin becomes more susceptible to abrasive damage, increases in permeability, and is more prone to microbial growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fiber type and fabric moisture content on SC hydration. Using three similarly constructed knit fabrics, six fabric type/moisture content combinations were selected for the tests. Using an occluded plastic dome, fabric samples were pl

Lipid oxidation is a major limitation to the shelf-life of low moisture foods and can lead to food waste. Little is known of whether the surface lipids in low moisture foods are more susceptible to oxidation since they are exposed to the environment. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to compare the rate of oxidation in surface and total lipids. Lipids in crackers were found to be in a heterogeneous matrix with proteins and starch, as determined by confocal microscopy. However, unlike spray-dried powders, both surface and interior lipids oxidized at similar rates, suggesting that the c
