DOI: 10.1007/s00226-017-0918-5
Abstract: Spruce wood specimens were heat-treated in saturated water vapor (steaming) and in the absence of moisture (dry heating) at 120–180 °C, and their wet volumes were measured during alternate wetting and drying cycles. After the first… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10064-020-01851-6
Abstract: The expansive clayey soils show swelling-shrinkage behavior in wetting and drying cycles, respectively. The seasonal water content variations cause large volume changes of expansive clays, and consequently great losses on the infrastructure. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-020-01237-3
Abstract: Rice farmers in Southeast Asia are hesitant to adopt the water-saving technology, alternate wetting and drying (AWD), for fear the practice will lead to increased rodent pest activity, consequently exacerbating yield loss. We examined the… read more here.
