Farmers' Soil–Water Management Practices and Perspectives on Soil Salinization in Mirab Abaya District, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a critical threat, impacting 20% of the world's irrigated lands and jeopardizing food security. In Ethiopia's Mirab Abaya district of the Gamo Zone, unsustainable irrigation methods exacerbate this issue. This paper examines local farmers' soil–water management systems and their awareness of salinization, aiming to educate

Adaptive Immunity in Marsupials

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Comparison of the marsupial and eutherian adaptive immune systems. ABSTRACT Marsupials diverged from eutherian mammals 125–160 million years ago. Although evolutionarily distinct, both groups of mammals can produce complex adaptive immune responses to antigens with several key differences.

Direct extraction of functional whitened lignocellulose from wood via isocyanate modification in water–ethanol mixture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Direct extraction of lignocellulose from wood derivatives was achieved by introducing a bulky isocyanate substituent to lignin in a water–ethanol mixture. This process exploits the tunable solvent affinity of lignin to achieve its whitening, enabling the isolation of lignocellulose.
