Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...

Soil Density in Traditional Mouldboard Tillage

Acta Technologica Agriculturae, 2023
Until recently, mouldboard ploughing was used as the main tillage in almost the entire territory of Ukraine and Russia. However, mouldboard technologies contribute to the formation of a “plough pan”, which contributes to additional soil compaction.

Modelling of the effects of working width, tillage depth and operational speed on draft and power requirements of disc plough in sandy-clay soil in South-East Nigeria

Scientific African, 2023
Discrepancies amongst ecological soil situations necessitate records of the performance of machines under diverse soil categories for choice of tools to lessen cost, minimize energy loss, and increase agricultural production. This research sought to investigate to what extent the working width, operational speed and cutting depth influence the draft ...

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Effects of ploughing depth on decomposition of barley straw in organically managed soil [PDF]

, 2006
Litterbag were used to study the effects of different ploughing depths on decomposition rate of barley straw with different ploughing depths. The burying depth of the litter (13 vs 25 cm) affected the decomposition rate of barely straw more than the ...
