Growth responses of scots pine seedlings grown in peat-based media amended with natural zeolite.
Zeolite has many good features that makes it very attractive for nursery use as a growing media over others. This study was designed to investigate influence of different growing media and their mixtures (with zeolite and without zeolite) on morphological characters of scots pine seedlings. Twenty-one treatments of varying amounts of peat, fine pumice, coarse pumice, river sand, perlite and riv...
متن کاملWetting failure of hydrophilic surfaces promoted by surface roughness
Wetting failure is of vital importance to many physical phenomena, such as industrial coating and drop emission. Here we show when and how the surface roughness promotes the destabilization of a moving contact line on a hydrophilic surface. Beyond the balance of the driving force and viscous resistance where a stable wetting interface is sustained, wetting failure occurs and is modified by the ...
متن کاملTreatment of expansive soils with quality saline pore water by cyclic drying and wetting
Expansive soils can be found in many parts of the world particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. These soilspose a significant hazard to civil engineering structures due to its high swelling and shrinkage potential. This paperpresents the results of an experimental program developed to investigate the effect of cyclic drying and wetting on theswelling potential of expansive soils with variou...
متن کاملImbibition and Flow of Wetting Liquids in Noncircular Capillaries
Micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) has been used to study the dynamics of imbibition of liquid prepolymers in micrometer-scale, rectangular capillaries formed between an elastomer containing relief structures and a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiolates on gold supported on Si/SiO2. Self-assembled monolayers provide a wide range of solid/vapor interfacial free energies (γSV) and a c...
متن کاملDynamics of wetting: from inertial spreading to viscous imbibition.
We report the influence of the nature of boundaries on the dynamics of wetting. We review some work recently published and highlight new experimental observations. Our paper begins with the spreading of drops on substrates and demonstrates how the exponents of the spreading laws are affected either by the surface chemistry or by the droplet shape. We then discuss the imbibition of completely an...
