Wood Biomolecules as Agricultural Adjuvants for Effective Suppression of Droplet Rebound from Plant Foliage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lignin and hemicellulose are used to develop agricultural adjuvants to decrease agrochemical run‐off from foliage, by suppressing droplet rebound and enhancing adhesion of aqueous solutions on plant leaves. The wood components combine surface activity with surface pinning effects and to improve by tenfold the droplet rebound in citrus leaves ...

Cropping system diversity and tillage intensity affects wheat productivity in Texas

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3498-3514, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Texas depends heavily on conventional tillage (CT) and a long summer fallow period, which contributes to soil degradation. This study compared the impact of reducing tillage intensity (CT, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage) combined with summer cropping to CT–summer fallow on wheat establishment, grain ...

Improving osteoporosis treatment rates in inpatients admitted with hip fracture: A healthcare improvement initiative in a tertiary referral hospital

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 264-271, December 2022., 2022
Our hospital introduced a standardized protocol for the treatment of osteoporosis in patients admitted for hip fracture. The aim of this article was to describe its implementation as well as assess the protocol's effect on treatment rates and safety. In our analysis, there was significant improvement in treatment rates with no instances of acute kidney
