Heat transfer in the asphalt pavement is significant because it affects asphalt pavement
performance and the surrounding environment. This importance is attributed to summertime …

The thermal conductivity of soil under a given set of conditions is most important as it relates
to a soil's microclimate. The early growth and development of a crop may be determined to a …

To avoid potential misapplication of effective thermal conductivity models, materials that may
be described as 'porous' should be divided into two classes;'internal porosity'materials which …

Accurate and continuous measurements of soil thermal and hydraulic properties are
required for environmental, Earth and planetary science, and engineering applications, but …
