Growth Medium Temperature in Containers as Influenced by Moisture Content

TEMPERATURE OF WOODS AS FUNCTIONS OF MOISTURE CONTENT End

Experiments were conducted to characterize fire properties of wood exposed to the certain external heat flux and under variety of wood moisture content. Six kinds of Indonesian wood: keruing, sono, cemara, kamper, pinus, and mahoni were exposed to radiant heat from a conical heater, result in appearance of a stable flame on the wood surface caused by spontaneous ignition. A thermocouple K-type ...

Rheological and Physicochemical Properties of Honeys as a Function of Temperature, Concentration and Moisture Content

In this study the rheological and physicochemical properties of four types of honeys, two poly floral (Mountain, Forest) and two mono floral (Sunflower, Ivy), were investigated. Rheological characteristics of honeys were evaluated at different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30ºC). All the honeys exhibited Newtonian behavior for shear rate in the range of 1.045-41.8 s-1. The viscosity of sampl...

Infiltration in cracking clay soils as affected by initial soil moisture content

Yield, Leaf Mineral Content, and Quality Properties of Hayward kiwifruit as Influenced by Different Fertilization Methods

Kiwifruit requires a high quantity of nutrients that must be supplied through fertilization to obtain an optimum yield on a sustainable basis. This research was conducted to evaluate different fertilization methods including broadcast application (as control), deep placement of the fertilizer and fertigation, alone or in combination with foliar application and their effects on the yield, leaf m...

Market Growth as Influenced by Capital Investment

The manager, by evolving the policies that guide decision making, designs a corporate system. Such systems have a feedback loop structure that determines the growth and stability of the enterprise. The complexity of these systems usually precludes intuitive determination of how a policy change will affect the total system. A simulation model of the feedback structure and policies allows one to ...
