If you were to ask a group of sealcoating contractors what they consider perfect sealcoating weather, they would likely tell you that it would be a day on which the temperature was 70 degrees, the relative humidity was less than 60 percent, the overnight low would remain above 50 degrees and there was not a cloud in the sky. In North Georgia, however, a sealcoating contractor quickly learns that perfect days for sealcoating are few and far between. Instead, sealcoating professionals must acquire…
This datasheet provided information on common slugs. It went into short detail about slugs’ dietary needs and how this can be damaging to plants kept in the yard. It also discussed slugs’ basic activity patterns and how they are drawn out at night and occasionally on rainy days. The main purpose of this sheet, however, was to provide information on how to maintain slug populations in your yard. The methods described included the elimination of shelter, using fermented materials as bait in a trap…
groups were subjected to 34°C temperatures (heat stress) and 65% relative humidity for 24hr. Fecal samples were collected weekly prior to the start of treatment and daily during, and for 10d…
Northern Kentucky –Tristate Area If your indoor air feels heavy and smells a bit musty, it could mean that your home is experiencing high levels of humidity. Although humidity is important, having too much can destroy the pleasant environment because it encourages allergens, like mold and mildew, to grow. Thankfully, you can reduce the amount of humidity in the air with a dedicated dehumidifier. This system is designed to pull excess moisture in the air and send the de-moisturized air back into…
Sealant manufacturers state that 70 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature for sealcoating. They also state that humidity levels should be relatively low and that the fresh sealant should be exposed to several hours of sunshine. Furthermore, there should be no chance of rain for at least the first 24 hours following the application. If you have lived in Central Texas for more than a year, you know that all of these ideal conditions will be not be present on many days. Sealcoating companies…
factor influencing the thermal comfort is the humidity. The humidity is caused by the moisture in the air and can be expressed as absolute humidity and relative humidity. For comfortable condition a relative humidity (RH) within the range of 40% to 70% is required. If humidity is too high at high temperature the natural cooling capacity of the body is decreased, if instead the humidity is high and temperature is low the air will be felt chilly. Low humidity instead can cause dryness of throat…
Data presented in Table 4 indicated that the simple correlation between mean temperature and relative humidity, and the population of M. flavus was approximately similar to that of the first season. Multiple-regression analysis revealed that the efficiency of mean temperature occupied the same site (83.49%), whereas, the relative humidity recorded (0.83%). Data of both seasons, concerning the population dynamic of M. flavus revealed that the population of this…
variables of soil moisture, temperature, wind, and relative humidity. Include rate of spread and fire intensity in your discussion. (This is a very involved question.) (50 points) Horizontal and vertical arrangement is the orientation of fuel particles and the spaces between them. Grassland and shrub lands are vertically arranged fuel types, while timber litter and logging debris are horizontally oriented. Low soil moisture and relative humidity and high temperatures and wind will increase the…
“roly-pollies”. These organisms are members of the Phylum Arthropoda, Class Crustacea. Isopods are omnivores that generally feed on decaying material, algae, moss and bark. Because isopods respire through gills, they are more restricted to areas with high humidity, particularly under rocks or logs, in leaf…
1. Overview With increase in the population of East Tennessee State University’s (ETSU) community and the creation of new football stadium, the cleanliness of the campus needs to be maintained and improved. Also, keeping the campus clean will help prevent some diseases, amongst which some caused by mold. Traditionally, ETSU maintenance operates on daily or biweekly routes to pick up trash and recycle bins on a designated time, regardless of whether the containers are full or not (Fig. 1-1).…
