Dentin moisture content is important in adhesive bonding and structural strength research. However, there is no rapid method available to assess dentin moisture without sample destruction. This study examined the use of a digital grain moisture meter to measure root dentin moisture in vitro. Extracted mandibular single rooted teeth were sectioned at the CEJ. The moisture of the root dentin was ...

An individual kernel moisture meter and an individual kernel oven drying procedure were used to quantify the kernel-to-kernel moisture content (MC) variation in equilibrated rough rice samples varying in MC from 9 to 37%, w.b. Average, bulk sample MCs were also determined using an oven drying method. No difference (p < 0.05) was found in the average MCs measured by the meter at three weeks or t...

the accuracy and effectiveness of precision agriculture is highly depending on accuracy and time analysis of the soil moisture conditions. monitoring of the soil water status is a proper method for optimizing the agricultural irrigation. automation irrigation, based on soil moisture measurement by smart sensors has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moistu...

Measurement of water content in expansive soil using a neutron moisture meter is strongly influenced by the moisture reactive property of this type of soil. It is particularly difficult to calibrate a neutron moisture meter when the dry density changes and the soil cracks during drying. This numerical study models the neutron probe measurement of soil moisture, based on a 7-group diffusion theo...
