STATISTICAL PHYSICS MODELING OF WATER VAPOR ADSORPTION ISOTHERM INTO KERNELS OF DATES: EXPERIMENTS, MICROSCOPIC INTERPRETATION AND THERMODYNAMIC FUNCTIONS EVALUATION

Statistical physics modeling of water vapor adsorption isotherm into kernels of dates: Experiments, microscopic interpretation and thermodynamic functions evaluation

In this paper, water sorption isotherms into date kernels give interesting insights about the sorption mechanism.The equilibrium adsorption data expressing the change in moisture content of date kernels were collected at three different temperatures using the static gravimetric technique.The adsorption isotherm profiles demonstrated that this proce

A new method for determination of most likely landslide initiation points and the evaluation of digital terrain model scale in terrain stability mapping

This paper introduces a new approach for determining the most likely initiation points for landslides from potential instability mapped using a terrain stability model.This approach identifies the location with critical stability index from a terrain stability model on each downslope path from ridge to valley.Any measure of terrain stability Founda
