Abstract TR material is the abbreviation of glutinous rice and tung oil, which a traditional organic reinforcement since ancient China. Taking Qiantang River silt reinforced with as research object, 9 samples different mass mix proportions were placed in standard curing environment (20 °C, humidity 60%) for 7 days, 14 30 90 days 180 respectively. Shear test, permeability test dry-wet cycle carr...

Yield variability in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) from year to year in different environments (geographical locations) is a major production problem for farmers (Oosterhuis, 00 ). Higher yields have been recorded in the drier environment of California, compared to the more humid environment of Arkansas. However, the effect of environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity, and ...

Jurassic deposits are discovered in the Shahreza area, southwest of Isfahan city, central Iran. They yield plant macrofossils belonging to 22 species assigned to 17 genera of various orders such as Equisetales, Filicales, Bennettitales, Cycadales, Ginkgoales and Coniferales. According to the occurrence of Annulariopsis simpsonii, Coniopteris hymenophylloides, Cladophlebis aktashensis, Nilssonia...

655 Fresh water is under pressure in the humid tropics from population growth, land use and climate change, all of which are influenced by humans. These pressures are likely to have profound consequences. Here we present a research vision for the humid tropics as an outcome of a community workshop held in Hawaii in March 2011. This report includes various perspectives from the international sci...

Diabetes insipidus without perception of thirst, as may follow an anterior communicating artery aneurysm, requires prescription of fluid intake as well as desmopressin. The management goal of maintaining a normal serum sodium is rendered more challenging in a humid subtropical environment, where insensible losses are higher.

Polyvinyl chloride materials used in cooling towers always lead to damage and low efficiency due the hot humid environment. This paper suggests a glass fiber reinforced material for better performance. An optimal fractal distribution-of fibers composite matrix is experimentally obtained when dimensions are between 0.6 0.9.
