At high humidity t1/2 scales with cross-link density, but it is independent of cross-link density at low humidity.
Factors known to support colonization of L. pneumophila are humidity, stagnation, scales (residues, deposits), sediments, and temperature (12 ).
This type of beams was extensively tested in three- and four-point bending for a variety of environmental conditions (e.g. temperature and humidity), geometrical scale, reinforcement percentage and element robustness.
"In conjunction with this application, we're working on things such as audio sensors, temperature and humidity, and durable scale, to tell honey gain [or] loss in a given timeframe)," added Seelye.
The instrumentation (thermocouples, humidity sensors, weight-scales) allows investigating the drying kinetics and the moisture diffusivity and apprehending the hygrothermal behaviour of the material.
The humidity-sensitive elements possess linear dependence of electrical resistance on relative humidity in semilogarithmic scale with some hysteresis in the range of RH ~ 60%to99%9%.
But regardless of the ins and outs of it, obliging finely-tuned, supremely fit sportsmen to endure heat and humidity on this scale made for a largely unedifying spectacle.
We note, however, there is now an important gap in experiments at the setal scale: humidity manipulations have only been done at a single temperature.
Scaling of the effect of humidity at the nano-scale shows an approximately 1.3 fold increase in adhesion between 35% and 80% RH [12], or a 3-fold difference between 0 and 70% RH [14].
Design Boom noted a product disclaimer that "the pieces can warp or fit together imprecisely due to the nature of the material in different temperatures and scale of humidity".
