The determination of the thermal comfort indices needs the evaluating devices. The physical measured parameters of the milieu input in this device. We measure air temperature of the area, temperature of the surfaces of walls, floor and the ceiling –medium radiant temperature, air flow velocity and air moisture. Other parameters are the date of his clothes and his physical activity. Outputs of t...

The relationship between broiler breast meat color and pH, moisture content, water-holding capacity (WHC), and emulsification capacity (EC) was investigated. In each of three replicate trials, fillets were collected from three different commercial processing plants according to breast meat lightness (L*) values as follows: lighter than normal (light, L* > 53), normal (48 < L* < 53), and darker ...

Previous estimates of land-atmosphere interaction (the impact of soil moisture on precipitation) have been limited by a lack of observational data and by the model dependence of computational estimates. To counter the second limitation, a dozen climate-modeling groups have recently performed the same highly controlled numerical experiment as part of a coordinated comparison project. This allows...

Bricks manufactured from dried sludge collected from an industrial wastewater treatment plant were investigated. Results of tests indicated that the sludge proportion and the firing temperature were the two key factors determining the brick quality. Increasing the sludge content results in a decrease of brick shrinkage, water absorption, and compressive strength. Results also showed that the br...

In an attempt to retrieve soil moisture content (SMC) from remote sensing techniques, this article suggests and evaluates a developed approach that overcomes three of the most fundamental limitations temperature–vegetation (T-V) scatter plot method are (1) low accuracy T-V in cases corresponding its wet dry edges not formed appropriately, (2) incompatibility index maps different days, (3) inabi...
