Seed of four grass species was re-hydrated to 11 pre-determined moisture concentrations ranging from 100 to 600 g kg-1 fresh weight ( FW) to simulate seed maturation during swathing and combining. The performance characteristics of three thermogravimetric and two electronic capacitance methods of moisture determination were evaluated. The thermogravimetric methods had no moisture range limitations and were, in general, more accurate than the electronic methods. The thermogravimetric Koster tester is suitable for grass seeds of all moisture concentrations, and can be easily adapted for use at field sites. The John Deere Moisture- Chek electronic tester is suitable for the rapid determination of moisture in grass seeds but is limited to concentrations of 80–250 g kg-1 FW. Key words: Grass seed crops, seed moisture measurement, swathing, combining, time of harvest

In this paper, a short review on the void and moisture content studies of fiber reinforced composites for both, synthetic and natural based fibers are presented. The review summarized the research papers in which include experimental and theoretical works that related to the void and moisture content studies. In addition to that, this review paper highlighting a few research studies conducted in literature on the effects of the void and moisture on the mechanical performances of the composite. Few common measurement methods used for the void and moisture determination are discussed here. The aims of this short review, mainly to capture the trend ranging from the recent five years back and summarize the various studies and also to compare and conclude the most common method for the determination of the void and moisture content. This paper is mainly providing a baseline in the selection of the methods for the future work of the author’s work with regard to the reduction of the presence of voids and moisture occur during the impregnation process of fiber reinforced composites, especially when using natural-based fiber.

Abstract A new, rapid procedure was developed for moisture determination in meat. Results with the method were evaluated by comparative analysis with AOAC method 24.003(b). The new method is accurate, precise, and simple. Samples were prepared for drying by admixture with ferrous oxide and sodium chloride in glass weighing bottles and heating 2.5 mill in a domestic-type 1000 watt microwave oven. After heating, the residues were exposed 1 min in the stream of the oven chamber air blower, then covered and weighed. From comparative determinations on 67 meat samples containing from 3.5 to 77.9% moisture, meat type and moisture level were not significant (P = 0.05) sources of variation as determined by t-tests. Mean moisture content was 0.05% higher by the microwave oven method than by the AOAC method. Repeatability between duplicates was ± 0.47% moisture by microwave oven and ±0.45% by the AOAC method. Precision between paired determinations by the 2 methods was ±0.57% moisture. Both the t-test for significance (P = 0.05) and linear regression analysis of the comparative determinations indicated that the 2 methods were equivalent for determining moisture. Continued study of the method is recommended.

The paper describes experimental activity carried out at the Department of Railway Engineering and Track Management of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Žilina. It focuses on monitoring moisture changes in individual structural layers of the railway track body and its subgrade, performed on the railroad model, (1:1 scale). The Introduction characterizes the experimental stand models of the Department, used for monitoring the moisture changes in the structural layers. The second part of the paper focuses on the characteristics of the moisture determination method - time reflectometry (TDR method), and on the calibration of TRIME PICO IPH T3 probes for real materials of the experimental stand DRETM (crushed aggregate, fr. 0 / 31.5 mm - protective layer, crushed aggregate, fr. 0/63 mm - embankment, clay with the addition of river gravel – foundation). The calibration was a substantial prerequisite for the subsequent humidity monitoring of the railway models. The next part of the paper presents the recorded moisture values of the structural layer materials, built in the measuring profiles of the experimental stand DRETM, measured before and during the winter period 2017/2018. The Conclusion evaluates the measured values and the determination of the input moisture values that will be used for the numerical modeling of the thermal regime of subgrade structure by the SoilVision software.
