In this study, a grain-scale modelling technique has been developed to generate the capillary pressure-saturation curves for swelling granular materials. This model employs only basic granular properties such as particles size distribution, porosity, and the amount of absorbed water for swelling materials. Using this model, both drainage and imbibition curves are directly obtained by pore-scale...

Seed imbibition, absorption of water by a dry seed, is an essential process in which embryo hydration and root establishment occur. In natural environments, this occurs beneath the soil, making it difficult to observe preliminary growth seeds. This paper presents new technique for tracking imbibition corn The proposed system designed measure through seed expansion wirelessly transmit data, perm...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) offer a great promising in biomedical applications and their size has been shown to be important parameters that affect the particles uptake and cellular imbibition. The presented dielectric data indicates that AuNPs have well characteristic dispersion in the alpha relaxation region. The presented work aims to characterize and improve the quality control of AuNPs, def...
