Foam-based materials are promising micro-structured materials with interesting thermal and acoustical properties. The control of the material morphology requires counteracting all the destabilizing mechanisms during their production, starting with the drainage process, which remains to be understood in the case of the complex fluids that are commonly used to be foamed. Here we perform measureme...

The present paper reports the implementation of a neural network technique to predict ground settlement as occasioned by dewatering activities of a long-term large-scale drainage project. The objective of the project is to lower and maintain the level of the ground water table in urban areas through a system of a non-stop pumping wells whose layout and operation rate are determined and implemen...

Studies related to morphometric analysis are extremely important for hydrogemorphological knowledge in watersheds. However, most rural roads not considered these analyses. Therefore, the objective of this article was verify if relations between drainage network, relief parameters, and road network indicate changes dynamics a watershed occupied by agricultural use. The sugarcane crop is an influ...

in the present  paper electrical conductivity (ec) of colloidal gas aphron (cga) suspensions was measured for anionic and cationic surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ttab)). experiments were made for different concentrations of sds (6, 8.1, 10 mm) and ttab (2, 3.51, 5 mm). cga drainage behavior was observed and measured using 1 liter measuring c...
