It is well known that low relative humidity is an ingredient that leads to higher fire danger due to the relatively rapid response of fine fuels to atmospheric humidity. Rapid fluctuations in relative humidity, though, have not been addressed extensively in fire weather studies or operations, perhaps partly due to the difficulty of observing such fluctuations and the even greater difficulty in ...

to study the effect of humic acid and drought stress on some physiological characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) an experiment was conducted in the research field of agricultural education centre of jiroft in 2013. field experiment was carried out as split plot design with three replications. water deficit stress as main factor with three levels (a1 = irrigation after 50, a2 = 100 an...

The effects of relative humidity and temperature on moisture sorption rate and stability profile of sodium bicarbonate powder exposed to various storage conditions were investigated using gravimetrical and acid-titration methods. In the study, samples were placed in desiccators, which contained various saturated salt solutions to generate desired levels of relative humidity, denoted as RH, rang...

Realistic prediction of concrete shrinkage and creep requires the calculation of the distributions of relative humidity at various times. Although the distributions of the relative humidity can be computed by numerical methods from the differential equation for diffusion, simple prediction formulas can facilitate structural analysis. The purpose of this paper is to present a simple formula for ...

[1] Atmospheric moisture content is expected to rise in response to global warming, but climate models predict a much slower rate of precipitation increase. This muted response of the hydrological cycle is investigated from a surface evaporation perspective, using a multimodel ensemble of simulations under the A1B forcing scenario. A 90-year analysis of surface evaporation based on a standard b...

The effect of hygrothermal conditions (air temperature and relative humidity) on the dehydration of theophylline monohydrate was investigated. Firstly, the equilibrium states of theophylline were investigated. The data from gravimetric analysis at constant temperature and humidity were reported as desorption isotherms. The PXRD analysis was used to identify the different polymorphic forms of th...
