The effect of inorganic semivolatile aerosol compounds on the cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) activity of aerosol particles was studied by using a computational model for a DMT-CCN counter, a cloud parcel model for condensation kinetics and experiments to ...
A new method for calibration of water vapor Raman lidars based on first principles is proposed. The calibration constant of a Raman lidar is derived from a set of water vapor and nitrogen Raman backscatter signals measured with the lidar receiver in a cell ...
Info4Dourou2.0 is a research project aiming at improving agricultural yield and water consumption in drip irrigated areas in semi-arid regions by using continuous soil humidity measurements. Within this framework, the main goal of this thesis was to invest ...
In this study Bacillus sp. MTCC5877 was explored for the production of biosurfactant (BSs) and various carbon sources 1% (w/v), 0.5% (w/v) nitrogen sources were tested at different pH, and temperature. Yield was measured in terms of Emulsification index (E ...
Much literature about the use of pyrolysis in the coffee production sector focuses on a stationary plant design. We evaluate the benefits of a mobile plant to also serve small coffee farmers where the harvesting season lasts only about three months. In suc ...

The objective is to examine the influence of pore water on dynamic rupture processes in the context of deep geothermal reservoirs. We conducted stick slip experiments on thermally-treated, saw-cut westerly granite samples under triaxial . The samples were ...
This thesis deal with experimental, field and modeling studies on reactive solute transport within hydrologic control volumes. The substances used in open environments for plant protection and other purposes are likely to be flushed by rainfall and enter i ...
A laboratory experiment and numerical modeling were used to examine effects of density gradients on hyporheic flow and solute transport under the condition of a solute pulse input to a river with regular bed forms. Relatively low-density gradients due to a ...
We combine experimental and modeling results from a headwater catchment at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), New Hampshire, USA, to explore the link between stream solute dynamics and water age. A theoretical framework based on water age dynami ...
A theoretical analysis of transport in a controlled hydrologic volume, inclusive of two willow trees and forced by erratic water inputs, is carried out contrasting the experimental data described in a companion paper. The data refer to the hydrologic trans ...
