Definition of Drift When liquids are forced under pressure through small orifices (like sprayer nozzles) they are sheared into small aerosols or particles having nearly a thousand fold range in spherical diameters. Owing to gravitational forces and the viscosity of air, the rate of fall to ground can be predicted by Stokes Law and is proportional to the radius of the particles. The rate of fall...

Introduction: Various iodine isotopes are undergoing radioactive decay except Iodine-127 (I-127. Iodine I-131 is unsealed radioactive material used in nuclear medicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Royal Hospital since 2006. In radiotoxic classification, I-131 is in group 2 element. I-131 is highly reactive element due to its volatilization nature. Currently...

This study evaluated the effect of feeding silage to pigs on nitrogen (N) utilization and ammonia (NH3) volatilization. In total, 128 Yorkshire × Hampshire (30–110 kg) were fed commercial feed (Control) or mixed with dried, milled in pelleted form (Pellet-S), fresh, chopped (Silage-Ch) intensively treated (Silage-Pr). Silage replaced 20% crude protein (g/kg). Diet affected daily N excretion, wh...

Abstract This work developed a model for predicting the volatilization flux from unsaturated soil contaminated by volatile chemical substances (VCSs) such as mercury and benzene. The considers series of phenomena under condition multi-phase flow consisting non-aqueous phase liquid, water, gases together with permeation rainfall into surface soil, volatilization/condensation VCSs, adsorption/des...
