Hydrogen peroxide has become the compound of choice for gaseous biodecontamination in the pharmaceutical industry. As some processes operate at vapour concentrations below the dew point, to avoid ...

With regard to A. Frank Leo's question of why the effects of water vapor have not been considered in the discussion about global warming, I would suggest that it is because the amounts of water vapor ...

Vapor retarders play an important role in controlling water vapor flow and can be a major element in durable building enclosure design. (Note: Although there is some debate in the industry over ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 205, No. 1083 (Mar. 7, 1951), pp. 553-563 (11 pages) The rate of evaporation in vacuo and vapour pressure ...

Water vapour absorbs radiation at many wavelengths, but it absorbs infrared and ultraviolet radiation – which are strongly emitted by the Sun – particularly well. The different energy transitions in ...

Plain old H 2 O: the most abundant and powerful greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. Water vapour accounts for around half the present-day greenhouse effect and without it our planet would ...

Stomatal responses to light and humidity (vapor pressure difference, VPD) are important determinants of stomatal conductance. Stomatal movements induced by light are the result of a transduction of ...
