Strongly compensated Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> is shown to be an intrinsic (or native) p-type conductor with the largest bandgap for any reported transparent semiconductor oxide which may shift frontiers in fields such as power electronics and photonics.
Summary When a large number of determinations soil water retention characteristics are required, the choice method used for obtaining them must be based on compromise between quality results and effort needed its implementation. We evaluated use pedotransfer functions (PTFs) included in ROSETTA model compared with ones obtained specifically silt‐loam soils. Water curves were from unaltered samples by ‘sand box’ pressure membrane methods. At same time, physical chemical properties determined...
Nowadays, there are three variables measured for the characterization of thermal properties in porous media and soft rocks. These volumetric specific heat capacity, conductivity diffusivity. Recently, Decagon Devices has developed KD2-Pro meter. This instrument is a useful device, which permits storing more than 4000 data. company also improved design sensors this use. uses infinite line pulse method based on current standard ASTM D 5334. Nevertheless, it not clear how to obtain required...
In the last decades, researchers have been developing bioresorbable stents (BRS) to overcome long-term complications of drug-eluting (DES). However, BRS technology still presents challenging limitations in terms manufacturing, materials, or mechanical properties. At this juncture, companies developed ultrathin DES that may further improve efficacy and safety profile traditional by reducing risk target-lesion target-vessel failures until are developed. Nonetheless, metallic platform problems...
The aim of this research is to evaluate the reliability and accuracy Hydrus-1D model simulate measured dynamics water flow in a silt loam soil profile located an abandoned crop area. paper includes physical chemical characterization soil, hydraulic properties characteristics as well. Several techniques devices were used develop experiment both, field laboratory scales. last part study was simulation using real rain events evapotranspiration rates. In summary, it could predict accurately...
The aim of this research is to explore the influence hysteresis on heat transport in soils under experimental laboratory conditions. obtained results shown that, thermal properties as are volumetric specific capacity (Cv) and conductivity (θ) showed a positive linear correlation with soil water content (θ). However, diffusivity values divergences between transferred moisture. A spatial-temporal pattern was observed whole properties. This fact related factors as: degree saturation,...
The purpose of this research is to explore the variability on soil thermal conductivity -?- after a prescribe fire, and assess effects ashes heat transfer once it's were incorporated into matrix. Sampling plot was located in Montgrí Massif (NE Spain). A set 42 samples between surface 5 cm depth collected before fire. To characterize chemical physical variables analyzed. determine λ dry-out curve per scenario (before fire) determined. SoilRho ? method based ASTM D-5334-08 which validated by...
The thermal properties of soils can be influenced by additives different origins (non-organic, organic and mineral) roles in soil quality. This study aims to evaluate the effects microplastics, vermicompost, zeolite on two types using a combination experimental data modeling approaches. Laboratory experiments were conducted surface layer samples clay (Vertic Phaeozem) loam (Haplic Cambisol). Each additive was applied at mass ratio 10% samples. conductivity (λ), diffusivity (D) volumetric...
There are three variables measured for the characterization of thermal properties in porous media and soft rocks. These specific variables: heat capacity, conductivity their relationship with diffusivity. Recently, Decagon Devices has developed KD2-Pro meter. This instrument is a useful device, which permits storing more than 4000 data. company also improved design sensors use. uses infinite line pulse technique based on current standard ASTM D 5334. Nevertheless, it not clear how to obtain...
The Mediterranean area is a very suitable location for tourism, and every year the arrivals to are continuously augmenting. This fact represents an economic growth but it associated with consumption of natural resources provide energy water demands, especially in summer due high occupancy rate tourism destinations. Power derived from massive use air conditioning systems sometimes causing problems grids. Moreover, fresh supply more difficult assure area, desalination becoming alternative...
Summertime weeds as <i>Digitaria sanguinalis</i> in many agro-ecosystems exist. In several cases, a well-defined weed control could be able to predict the seed emergence, know physiological status of seeds soil bank, well as, factors that and involving their germination. The goal this work is establish relationship between thermal properties process where start viable. study, column device refilled with calcareous silt loam was used, two split groups were buried at height levels inside...
Soil thermal property data, especially as a function of water content, are currently not readily available. Demand for these data is, however, on the increase because improvements in wider applications soil heat and transport models. Most investigations were focused sandy soils, clayed soils or peat horticultural substrates, due to different properties each ones. Otherwise, order partly fill gap studies into other types soil, we this work relationship between hydraulic silt under laboratory...
The Vallcebre research catchments are representative of Mediterranean mountain areas with spontaneous afforestation by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) as a consequence the abandonment agricultural practices since middle XX century. In this context, hydrological processes have been modified emergence mosaic different land covers, formed patches original oak forest (Quercus pubescens Willd.) or scattered in old abandoned terraces mainly covered mesophilous meadows. Water fluxes and stores...
