In cloud physics, it is... of the utmost importance that surface tension should increase the equilibrium pressure with a decreasing-drop radius, while hygroscopic action should reduce it. Thus, only hygroscopie nuclei make the initial condensation phase in air possible.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - equilibrium%20pressure

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Climate has a great influence on soil moisture conditions. The engineering behaviour of soils is governed in large measure by their moisture contents. Most clay subsoils exist in an approximate state of moisture equilibrium that may be seriously disrupted by construction drainage or irrigation. Lawn watering in urban area can have results equivalent to a substantial increase in rainfall ... This practice often results in a marked increase in subsoil moisture and volume and brings about new problems for shallow foundations.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - equilibrium%20moisture%20content

Le potentiel matriciel de l'eau du sol. [...] Trois types de mesure sont couramment utilisés : - par extraction de l'eau sous pression [...] - par équilibre hygroscopique : au contact de l'air, un échantillon du sol humide se dessèche jusqu'à ce que soit atteint un certain équilibre. Le potentiel matriciel en mégapascal est alors égal à 1,064 Tlog U (U représentant l'humidité relative de l'air et T la température absolue). Il suffit donc, après équilibre, de déterminer l'humidité de l'échantillon pour obtenir un point de la courbe reliant le potentiel à l'humidité. Cette méthode est applicable à la gamme allant d'environ - 5 à - 1 000 mégapascals. - par tensiométrie.  1, fiche 2, Français, - %C3%A9quilibre%20hygroscopique

A nucleus whose aqueous solution has an equilibrium vapour pressure lower than that of pure water.  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - hygroscopic%20nucleus

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The exact form taken by hygroscopic nuclei is most frequently that of droplets of solution. It was established by Lord Kelvin that the vapour pressure over the surface of a water drop in equilibrium with its surroundings is greater than that over a plane water surface.... The vapour pressure over the surface of a solution is always less than that over pure water at the same temperature. For this reason, a solution is hygroscopic, and absorbs water vapour from the surrounding air, becoming diluted in the process. From this it follows that nuclei in the form of droplets of solution may be expected to be satisfactory condensation kerns. When particles of hygroscopic substances are exposed to sufficiently damp air, they become droplets of solution.  3, fiche 3, Anglais, - hygroscopic%20nucleus

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Conditioning : A process of allowing textile materials(staple, tow, yarns, and fabrics) to reach hygroscopic equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere. Materials may be conditioned in a standard atmosphere(...) for testing purposes or in arbitrary conditions existing in manufacturing or processing areas.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - preconditioning
