Dr. Kerry Britton, a plant pathologist with the United States Forest Service in Athens, Ga., said the fungus, identified in 1991 as Discula destructiva, "likes cool, wet situations where it can produce spores all summer long".
At higher frequencies (10 kHz–10 GHz), the governing parameter is the shape of the water inclusions, i.e. large-surface inclusions, typical of a water wet system, and small-surface inclusions, generally associated with oil wet situations, show markedly different electrical responses.
Significant effects, however, were observed depending on the presence of asphaltenes and naphthenic acids, whose removal reduced the contact angles from an oil-wet behavior (angles above 145°) to a water-wet situation, with angles smaller than 45° and 80°, respectively.
Lattice Boltzmann modelling (LBM) has recently been applied to a range of different wetting situations.
This will form a thin layer of dry stone restrained from shrinking by a large layer of wet stone, situation depicted in Fig. 4d f.
These cases had a relatively wet control situation (water level 5 cm above substratum), so these particular species showed a more optimal response to dryer conditions.
When books with shiny, glossy pages (like many magazines and art books) become wet, the situation is somewhat more urgent than with ordinary books.
It's a precarious wet-foot situation, especially when rushing in the morning.
Several species of Spiranthes, Habenaria, and other orchids are found in roadside ditches, often in wet, boggy situations.
