The objective of this paper is to present the contribution of a new dielectric constant characterisation for the modelling of radar backscattering behaviour. Our analysis is based on a large number of radar measurements acquired during different experimental campaigns (Orgeval'94, Pays de Caux'98, 99). We propose a dielectric constant model, based on the combination of contributions from both s...

This research aimed to find out a baby powder formula made of soft-prepared chalk and investigate satisfaction with the selected powder. The sample was 300 people consisting parents, students, general who were likely use Research instruments colorimeter, water activity meter, moisture analyzer, questionnaire on consumer six formulas. Descriptive statistics mean, percentage, standard deviation f...

Leaf water potential, leaf relative water content, and relative transpiration of barley were determined daily under greenhouse conditions at 3 growth stages: tillering to boot, boot to heading, and heading to maturity. The leaf moisture characteristic curve (relative water content versus leaf water potential) was the same for leaves of the same age growing in the same environment for the first ...

Upon an increase of moisture, unsaturated soil may collapse or swell, depending on the loading state and history. This important characteristic must be realistically reproduced by a constitutive model aimed for practical applications. In addition to collapse/swelling, other essential features, such as deformation and failure following arbitrary shearing paths, must also be realistically reprodu...

The Process Of Making Organic Fertilizer requires a certain temperature and humidity to keep the microorganisms used be able stay alive can decompose perfectly, for that it is necessary monitor humidity. Along with development of this technology, done by remote automation using microcontroller on ESP8266 nodemcu based IoT (Internet Things), which combined DS18B20 sensor measurement soil moistur...

SMOS is ESA’s water mission observing key-elements of the Earth’s water cycle, i.e. soil moisture and ocean salinity. It features a novel instrument – MIRAS – that is the first synthetic aperture L-band radiometer ever operated on an EO space mission. High quality measurements representing the full Stokes vector have been made since 2009 and operationally delivered to a large user community. SM...
