Because of economic, population, and consumption patterns changes, the use freshwater has increased significantly in last 100 years. Notably, measurement is essential to encourage water conservation. Thus, present study aims evaluate applicability a thin-film resistive sensor (bend sensor) with different coatings for implementation individualized systems. The motivation this work propose volume...

Clay content is the main characterizing parameter when classifying fine-grained soils. Hydrometer method (HD) commonly used in geotechnics to obtain grain size distribution properties of However, this test laborious and time consuming as compared alternative methods such laser diffraction (LD). In study, a comparison between results for clay 19 samples from different locations Finland using HD ...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the soil structure and agricultural potential of a research area located within limestone mining site. The sampling process was conducted using sieve analysis hydrometer tests on samples collected from six points 1-hectare area. results revealed that Silt Loam, with 48%-64% consisting Silt, 30%-50% sand, 1%-6% clay. data were then classified USDA classif...

A single column model (SCM) is, in essence, an isolated grid column of a general circulation model (GCM). Hence, SCMs have rather demanding input data requirements, but do not suffer from problems associated with balance of a GCM. Among the initial conditions that must be used to describe the initial state of the SCM column are the vertical profile of the horizontal wind components and the vert...

The aim was to determine the mechanical resistance and thermal conductivity of adobe bricks in extreme minimum weather conditions, which serve two physical functions: greater compression strength lower for construction rural housing walls Peruvian highlands. study experimental, where soil texture class determined using Bouyoucos hydrometer. An experiment designed with 58 different composition p...
