Pore morphology changes under tillage and no-tillage practices [PDF]

Geoderma, 2007
Abstract The relative influence of biological and mechanical processes on the structure of cultivated soils was estimated by investigating the macroporosity of the surface layers of a silty soil during a maize growing season. The soil was subjected to different cultivation techniques (conventional tillage, moderate tillage, and no tillage) and ...

Hydrogels Augmented With Artificial Sweeteners can Inhibit Multidrug‐Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Growth and Biofilm Formation While Demonstrating Safety in Pre‐Clinical Pilot Human Trials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Using PVA–borax hydrogels as carriers for off‐the‐shelf artificial sweeteners to fight multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii. These soft, biocompatible hydrogels rapidly reduce bacterial viability within multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii biofilms by more than 99% within one hour and sustain antimicrobial activity over time, while demonstrating safety in both

Relevance of the irrigation and soil management system to optimize maize crop production under semiarid Mediterranean conditions

Agricultural Water Management
Irrigation system and soil management through the different tillage system may have a significant impact on maize crop performance due to their capabilities to modify soil water content and soil physical and biochemical properties.

From Cell‐Derived Vesicles to Hybrid Nanovectors: Biological Membranes as Functional Blueprints for Gene Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Biologically derived and hybrid nonviral nanovectors are examined as distinct but convergent design approaches. Integrating synthetic components with biologically functionalized membranes allows efficient interactions with complex cellular environments.

Effect of Conservation Tillage on Irrigation Scheduling and [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Science and Sustainable Production, 2012
To study the effect of conservation tillage on irrigation scheduling and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of spring rapeseed (RGS 003), a split-plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications was conducted in ...

Role of the Recombination Zone in Organic Light‐Emitting Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the critical role of the recombination zone in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). We highlight that broadening the recombination zone in OLEDs based on emissive layers with balanced charge transport and high photoluminescence quantum yields provides a promising route toward achieving both long operational lifetime and high ...

Precision Tillage: Online variation of tillage depth

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 1970
Precision Farming equipment is more and more common on modern, large scale farm enterprises. With basic equipment being available, an important condition for the use of site-specific approaches is given. Site-specific approaches may help to increase the efficiency of a farm enterprise, as well as may help to achieve certain, predefined goals.

Why Is the Mechanism Underlying the Chiral‐Induced Selectivity Effect Still Challenging?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is observed in many experimental configurations and for different materials. However, there are theoretical challenges in attempting to explain those results. A qualitative framework for explaining all the results is presented.
