Managing plant nutrition based on substrate EC is better than fertilizer solution EC as substrate EC directly measures the amount of nutrients in the root zone. There are both in-house and laboratory ...

Scientists report an entirely new approach to manipulation of carbon nanotubes that allows physical measurements to be made on carbon nanotubes that have previously only been possible by theoretical ...

SOIL permeability or hydraulic conductivity is of great importance in the engineering design of foundations, dams, sub-surface drainage systems, irrigation systems, etc. In spite of its importance, ...

Next to pH, electrolytic conductivity is the most frequently measured parameter for aqueous solutions. JUMO GmbH & Co. KG, Fulda, Germany, offers the complete range from conductive to inductive ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington have demonstrated that electrical conductivity can be an effective means to precisely measure the amount of blood present in dry blood spot ...

Liquid analysis is one of the most important measurements in any type of power plant (fossil fuel or nuclear). Generating electricity is a fundamentally inefficient process. The efficiency of current ...

Researchers have made the most sensitive measurements to date of how quickly electric charge moves in silicon, a gauge of its performance as a semiconductor. Silicon, the best-known semiconductor, is ...
