Effect of side-wings on draught: The case of Ethiopian ard plough (maresha) [PDF]
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2016 Ethiopian farmers have been using an ox-drawn breaking plough, known as ard plough - maresha, for thousands of years. Maresha is a pointed, steel-tipped tine attached to a draught pole at an adjustable shallow angle. It has narrow side-wings, attached to the left and right side of it, to push soil to either side without inverting.The aim of this paper ...

Soil preparation in reforestation of Scots pine in Lapland
Silva Fennica, 1985 The study deals with the interaction of various soil preparation and reforestation methods. The most favourable time of the year for broadcast sowing and the effect of stabilization after soil preparation on restocking were studied as special problems ...

Sward Diversity Modulates Soil Carbon Dynamics After Ploughing Temporary Grassland
AgricultureGrasslands are crucial for sequestering carbon underground, but disturbances like ploughing can lead to significant soil organic carbon (SOC) loss as CO2, a potent greenhouse gas. Thus, managed grasslands should be maintained to minimize GHG emissions. A

Water stability of soil aggregates in different systems of Chernozem tillage
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2011 Effects of various agrotechnical measures on macrostructural changes in the ploughing layer and subsoil were studied within the period of 2008–2010. Soil macrostructure was evaluated on the base of water stability of soil aggregates.

Electrified Damage in Motion Systems
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The electrified damage in motion systems is a fundamental framework presenting the degradation pathway arising from the coupling of electrical energy transport with mechanical contact and interfacial chemistry. The framework positions electrified damage as a distinct degradation regime with unique characteristic surface morphologies and failures of ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An effective strategy is developed to overcome the medium temperatures wear resistance degradation in refractory multi‐principal element alloys. By utilizing chemical short‐range ordering to trigger oxygen‐induced amorphization, a composite oxide structure is formed, which combines high hardness with robust stiffness.

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 ...
