The impact of ‘non-rainfall’ water on soil is important in arid zones. In that environment, the amount of dew can exceed that of rainfall, or even be the sole source of liquid water for plants. However, since plants cover only a small fraction of the desert surface, such assessments apply only to a small proportion of the area. In the absence of fog, dew formation and direct water vapor adsorpt...

The paper considers the conceptual approach for organization of the vertical hierarchical links between the scalable distributed computing paradigms: Cloud Computing, Fog Computing and Dew Computing. In this paper, the Dew Computing is described and recognized as a new structural layer in the existing distributed computing hierarchy. In the existing computing hierarchy, the Dew computing is pos...

Dew condensation on the leaf surface of greenhouse crops can promote diseases caused by fungus and bacteria, affecting the growth of the crops. In this paper, we present a WSN (Wireless Sensor Network)-based automatic monitoring system to prevent dew condensation in a greenhouse environment. The system is composed of sensor nodes for collecting data, base nodes for processing collected data, re...

In recent years, due to the specific health benefits associated with bioactive peptides and the reduction of protein allergenicity by enzymatic hydrolysis, the utilisation of protein hydrolysates in the intermediate-moisture food (IMF) market, such as high protein nutrition bars (HPNB), has significantly increased. Currently, no reported study is related to the storage stability of dried hen eg...

Despite proposed ecological importance of mucilage in seed dispersal, germination and seedling establishment, little is known about the role of mucilage in seed pre-germination processes. Here we investigated the role of mucilage in assisting achene cells to repair DNA damage during dew deposition in the desert. Artemisia sphaerocephala achenes were first treated γ-irradiation to induce DNA dam...

Conventional green roofs, although having numerous advantages, could place water resources under pressure in dry periods due to irrigation requirements. Moreover, the thermal efficiency of roofs decrease without irrigation, and plants get damaged. Therefore, this study aims improve conventional by proposing a new multipurpose roof combined with fog dew harvesting systems. The analysis determine...

The efficient water harvesting from air-laden moisture has been a subject of great interest to address world-wide water shortage issues. Recently, it has been shown that tailoring surface wettability can enhance the moisture harvesting performance. However, depending on the harvesting condition, a different conclusion has often been reported and it remains unclear what type of surface wettabili...

The concept of a dew-point front was introduced, and its existence was identified near the periphery of the west Pacific subtropical anticyclone by using the daily 1 1 data of the National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR). The dew-point front was a transitional belt between the moist southwest monsoon flow and the dry adiabatic sinking flo...

An applicable, high-volume, and sustainable water uptake technology can alleviate freshwater shortages, improve the energy utilization rate promote development of technology. Traditional seawater desalination, fog water, dew collection are limited by geographical environment, resource transportation cost is high, or volume limited, so they cannot be used on a large scale. There potential safety...

While the popularity of cloud computing is exploding, a new network computing paradigm is just beginning. In this paper, we examine this exciting area of research known as dew computing and propose a new design of clouddew architecture. Instead of hosting only one dew server on a user’s PC — as adopted in the current dewsite application — our design promotes the hosting of multiple dew servers ...
