Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

VCO Production from Fresh Old Coconut Bunch by Circulating and Pumping Method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) is one of coco-diesel source, made without high heating and chemicals. Commercial processes production, such fermentation and centrifugation usually need more time and expensive in cost and investment.

Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...

Soil erosion responses to climate change in a tropical monsoon‐dominated river basin ‐ A geospatial perspective

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Climate change is projected to intensify soil erosion in the Chalakkudy River Basin, with bare lands and steep uplands emerging as the most vulnerable hotspots under high‐emission scenarios. Forested areas showed greater resistance to soil erosion, highlighting the importance of targeted soil conservation for sustainable watershed management in ...

Assessing the Effects of Biodiesel Production on Sustainability: A Bayesian Two‐Stage Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable development transforms production systems, requiring integrated environmental, social, and economic strategies. Energy systems are key agro‐industrial supply chains in developing countries. Brazil's soybean supply chain impacts Gross Domestic Product, mainly through exports.

Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

EFFECT OF CHLORINE SOURCES AND AMMONIUM SULFATE ON THE GROWTH OF COCONUT SEEDLINGS GROWN ON FOUR SOIL TYPES

open access: yesAnnals of Tropical Research, 1982
Fertilizer requirements of coconut seedlings belonging to Baybay Tall variety grown on four most important "coconut soll" types (Palo clay loam, Maasin clay, Guinbala-on clay and Fara-on clay) In the island of Leyte were studied.
