Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

Water vapour diffusion is a predominant moisture transport mechanism in an unsaturated soil due to the presence of either thermal gradient or concentration gradient. In such soils, as water content decreases, the continuity of liquid films is lost, and as a result, water movement is mainly in the form of water vapour. The knowledge of water vapour migration characteristics of geomaterials is important in the performance evaluation of underground buried services, compacted/geosynthetic clay liners, geothermal energy utilization, thermally enhanced clean-up of contaminated sites and the containment facilities for disposal of high-level nuclear waste. In view of this, the present study describes a methodology to investigate the water vapour diffusion through geomaterials under isothermal conditions. Further, the study evaluates the effect of particle size and compaction state on water vapour diffusion characteristics of the soils.
