Changes in soil organic matter content and quality after application of different organic and mineral fertilisers in 27 years long-term field experiments on luvisol

Frontiers in Soil Science
The soil organic matter (SOM) content and quality are the fundamentals of soil fertility and contribute significantly to soil carbon sequestration. The soil glomalin content is increasingly recognized as an indicator of SOM quality. The objective of this

Emulsions stabilised by whey protein microgel particles: Towards food-grade Pickering emulsions [PDF]

, 2014
We have investigated a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions. The sub-micron particles stabilized oil-in-water emulsions at all pH with and without salt.

Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Fluid Flow Characteristics in a Rock Micro-Fracture Based on the Pseudo-Potential Model

Energies, 2018
Slip boundary has an important influence on fluid flow, which is non-negligible in rock micro-fractures. In this paper, an improved pseudo-potential multi-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which can achieve a large density ratio, is ...

Wetting gradient induced separation of emulsions: A combined experimental and lattice Boltzmann computer simulation study

, 2008
Guided motion of emulsions is studied via combined experimental and theoretical investigations. The focus of the work is on basic issues related to driving forces generated via a step-wise (abrupt) change in wetting properties of the substrate along a ...

A two-stage ceramic tile grout sealing process using a high power diode laser Part I: Grout development and materials characteristics [PDF]

, 1998
Work has been conducted using a 60 W-cw high power diode laser (HPDL) in order to determine the feasibility and characteristics of sealing the void between adjoining ceramic tiles with a specially developed grout material having an impermeable enamel ...

Droplet infiltration dynamics and soil wettability related to soil organic matter of soil aggregate coatings and interiors

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016
The organo-mineral coatings of soil aggregates, cracks, and biopores control sorption and macropore-matrix exchange during preferential flow, in particular in the clay-illuvial Bt-horizon of Luvisols.

Nanocellulose as building block for novel materials [PDF]

, 2012
This thesis describes the fabrication of novel green materials using nanocellulose as the building block. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as the nanocellulose predominantly in this work. BC is highly crystalline pure cellulose with an inherent fibre

Interactions between Ca(OH)2, imidazolium ionic liquid, and titanium oxide nanoparticles using resinous and asphaltenic synthetic oils under high-salinity conditions

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2023
Using chemical methods in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes is limited since the mechanisms, interactions, and synergisms combined with heterogeneities and network complexities besides the incompatibilities of different chemicals are encountered in ...
