Metabolic rate, evaporative water loss and thermoregulatory state in four species of bats in the Negev desert
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-01-01)
Life in deserts is challenging for bats because of their relatively high energy and water requirements; nevertheless bats thrive in desert environments. We postulated that bats from desert environments have lower metabolic ...
Geotechnology applied to estimate soil loss by water erosion
(2015-01-01)
Water erosion is a major environmental problem that may compromise agricultural areas and the volume of water in a watershed. This paper presents the estimated soil loss in a watershed using Equation Revised Universal Soil ...
Pressure management for leakage reduction using pressure reducing valves. Case study in an Andean city
(2019)
A very common problem in distribution systems is water leakage, which can be reduced by pressure management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reduction of water leakage by optimizing the pressure using ...
Relative humidity and water loss in Triatoma Brasiliensis
(The Royal Entomological Society, 2013)
Water distribution in dentin matrices: Bound vs. unbound water
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-03-01)
Objective. This work measured the amount of bound versus unbound water in completely-demineralized dentin.Methods. Dentin beams prepared from extracted human teeth were completely demineralized, rinsed and dried to constant ...
Rachis browning and water loss description during postharvest storage of 'Krissy' and 'Thompson Seedless' table grapes
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Rachis browning is a serious symptom of water loss affecting the quality of table grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) during storage. It has been evaluated subjectively based on a color scale or by image analysis, while water loss, ...
Does acclimation to contrasting atmospheric humidities affect evaporative water loss in the South American subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum?
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2016-09-27)
Water conservation is challenging for terrestrial life since water is continuously lost through respiration, excretion, and cutaneous evaporation. Total evaporative water loss (TEWL) is an important component of the water ...
