The role of cattle manure in enhancing on-farm productivity, macro- and micro-nutrient uptake, and profitability of maize in the Guinea savanna [PDF]

, 2008
An on-farm trial was conducted in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria, over a period of five years, with the objectives of quantifying the effects on maize of applying cattle manure in combination with synthetic fertilizer with regard to soil ...

Molecular Nanoarchitectonic Sensing Layer for Analysis of Volatile Fatty Acids in Bioreactor Headspaces Using a Nanomechanical Sensor

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A porous crystalline sensing layer has been developed in conjunction with a nanomechanical sensor for the sensitive detection of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in admixture at high relative humidity. The sensitive, selective sensor based on supramolecular design improves the economic viability of anaerobic digesters toward a carbon neutral society ...

Chitosan, Gelatine, and Cellulose Based Hydrogels for the Removal of Potentially Toxic Elements from Aquaculture Water: A Comparative Study

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Hydrogels made of chemically modified biopolymers are easy to prepare and cost‐effective, they have proven to be effective materials for the simultaneous removal of seven potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from ultrapure and real water samples. The cellulose‐based one seems the best for single treatments while the gelatine‐based one seems the most ...
