Analysis of water-absorbent polymers from saw dust and coffee husks to enhance soil moisture retention, crop productivity and irrigation efficiency in Busia, Uganda

open access: yesDiscover Soil
The increase in crop water stress due to drought variability significantly contributes to crop failure and yield reduction in developing regions. The super-absorbent polymers (SAPs)—agro-hydrogel, are promising eco-friendly solutions to minimize drought ...

3D‐Printed Titanium Implants with Bioactive Peptide‐Polysaccharide Scaffolds for Personalized Bone Reconstruction

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Porous 3D‐printed titanium implants are made bioactive by integration with a supramolecular peptide‐hyaluronic acid nanofibrillar scaffold, without the addition of exogenous cells or growth factors. Uniform filling of the implant architecture promotes vascularized, spatially homogeneous bone regeneration, significantly enhancing osteogenesis throughout

A compact to revitalise large-scale irrigation systems using a leadership-partnership-ownership ‘theory of change’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In countries with transitional economies such as those found in South Asia, large-scale irrigation systems (LSIS) with a history of public ownership account for about 115 million ha (Mha) or approximately 45% of their total area under irrigation.

Oxygen and ROS Delivery for Infected Wound Healing and Future Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bacterial infection is a major driver of delayed wound healing and postsurgical readmissions; with rising antibiotic resistance, solid peroxide–releasing biomaterials offer sustained delivery of ROS/O2 for antimicrobial control and microenvironmental modulation.

Energy dissipation downstream sluice gate using a pendulum sill

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2018
In this paper, a new technique to increase the energy dissipation and reduce the floor length of the hydraulic structure, is introduced. This is done by using a pendulum sill downstream of the sluice gate of the hydraulic structure.
