Cracking in paintings due to relative humidity cycles

Relative humidity in incubators.

In a previous paper Hey and Maurice (1968) have reported the effect of changes of relative humidity on the heat production and heat loss in normal naked babies in a specially constructed metabolic chamber under controlled environmental conditions. In order to evaluate the clinical relevance of these observations we have studied the control of relative humidity that could be achieved in three co...

Atmospheric Attenuation due to Humidity

Humidity remains in the atmosphere even on bright days. Water of all three states can be found naturally in the atmosphere: liquid (rain, fog, and clouds), solid (snowflakes, ice crystals), and gas (water vapour). Water in any state is an obstacle in the link of the electromagnetic wave. When the wave passes through the water particles, a part of its energy is absorbed and a part is scattered. ...

Appl. Microbiol. 10:431-435. 1962.-Because of the low toxicity of its breakdown product, propylene oxide (PO) vapor will play an increasingly important role in the preservation of foods. It is therefor...
