Botanical Composition of Icelandic Grass Fields

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 1996
Abstract The botanical composition of grass fields in Iceland was investigated during the years 1990-1993. The investigation included 1294 grass fields on 191 farms. More than 50 species were recorded. The most common species were Poa pratensis, Festuca rubra, Phleum pratense, Deschampsia caespitosa and Agrostis sp. Other common species were Poa annua,

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

Botanical Composition of Management Zones in Pastures

open access: yes, 2002
The productivity and quality of forage in pastures is highly related to the botanical composition. As the soil and topographic properties of pastures change, so does the botanical composition. Management zones, created from the classification of soil and topographic properties into homogeneous groups, can be used to characterize the spatial variability

Hill country pastures, botanical composition and productive capacity

open access: yesNZGA: Research and Practice Series, 2016
Botanical composition of pastures is indicative of their dry matter production and nutritive value and so capacity for animal production. Two previous national pasture surveys were conducted in 1935/1940 and in 1987/1988, and one regional survey in 1967/1968, to assess the state of this resource across all land classes.

Cool Kitchen: Processing Starch and Eggshell Powder into Sustainable Coatings for Passive Daytime Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A food‐grade cooling composite made from starch and recycled eggshell powder offers a scalable, ultra‐low‐cost solution for passive daytime radiative cooling. Easily prepared using basic kitchen tools, this material empowers communities, even in areas with limited infrastructure, to stay cooler during worsening summer heat waves.
