ABSTRACT- To evaluate effects of different soil moisture conditions namely, phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) application, on extractable Zn and Fe, two experiments were conducted in laboratory conditions based on a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of treatments with two replications. The first experiment was performed with the following factors; incubation time at four leve...

The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) onboard the Global Change Observation Mission 1–Water (GCOM-W1) was launched by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in May 2012. The AMSR2 is the follow-on model of the AMSR-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) onboard the Aqua satellite. An assessment of the reliability of the soil moisture estimations from the newly launched passive se...

Physiol. 277 (Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 21): L988–L995, 1999.—We tested the hypothesis that histamine alters the focal apposition of endothelial cells by acting on sites of cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Focal ap...

The dominant degradation agent in facades is exposure to moisture. Damages resulting from long-term moisture are typically evaluated through hygrothermal simulations. These simulations computationally expensive. Therefore, a Moisture Reference Year (MRY), i.e. one year representing the stress of climate, often used instead simulating damages with climate itself. Usually, methods select MRYs wer...

The potential of passive microwave radiometry for the soil moisture measurement is a well established one, especially in the long wave length regions due to its high penetrating capacity through vegetation. Radiometric data can be used as a mapping tool for classifying the crops, examining their health and viability and monitoring the farming practices. The radiometric data or the emission of m...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of sodium sulfate water and the efficacy of nonnutritive feed additives in nursery pig diets. In Exp. 1, 320 barrows (5.4 ± 0.1 kg BW and 21 d of age) were allotted to 1 of 8 treatments for 24 d in a 2 × 4 factorial with 2 levels of sodium sulfate water (control or 3,000 mg sodium sulfate/L added), and 4 dietary zeolite (clinoptilolite) ...

A novel on-board solution for a robust, accurate and self-calibrating soil moisture and nutrient sensor with inbuilt wireless transmission and reception capability is presented. The sensor can make real time and accurate measurement of subsurface soil moisture and nutrients and is ideally suited to act as a node in a network spread over a large area. It works on the principle of impedance spect...
