leather manufacturing involves a crucial energy-intensive drying stage in the finishing process to remove its residual moisture. determining drying characteristics of leather is vitally important so as to optimize the drying stage. this paper describes an analytical way for determination of the drying characteristics of leather. the model presented, is based on fundamental heat and mass transfe...

Climate change may considerably impact the carbon (C) dynamics and C stocks of forest soils. To assess the combined effects of warming and reduced precipitation on soil CO2 efflux, we conducted a two-way factorial manipulation experiment (4 °C soil warming + throughfall exclusion) in a temperate spruce forest from 2008 until 2010. Soil was warmed by heating cables throughout the growing seasons...

Lime treatment can enhance the workability and hydro-mechanical properties of soil through different physical-chemical reactions. Nevertheless, beneficiary effect lime be altered when was exposed to wetting-drying cycles, depending on wetting fluid state. In present study, changes in small strain shear modulus (Gmax) microstructure a compacted lime-treated silt under cycles were studied. The un...

The water level fluctuation (WLF) zone is one of the dominant sources total dissolved inorganic nitrogen (TDN) export via net (N) mineralization in Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). However, antibiotics pollution may impact process TND exports from WLF TGR, especially under drying-rewetting processes and climate warming, thus increasing risk eutrophication tributaries TGR. effects Griseofulvin (GIN...
