The Effects of Sand-Fixing Agents and Trichoderma longibrachiatum on Soil Quality and Alfalfa Growth in Wind-Sand Soil

Agriculture
The degradation of sandy land in Inner Mongolia presents a substantial threat to regional ecological security and the sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Planting alfalfa serves as a crucial recovery strategy; however, the inadequate capacity to retain water and nutrients impedes this process. The current reliance on a singular

Reclaiming Anatomy as Method: From Morphological Reasoning to Clinical Relevance

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, molecular biology and omics technologies have profoundly reshaped biomedical research, with genomics, proteomics, and other high‐throughput approaches dominating scientific agendas and funding priorities. Within this molecular paradigm, however, the anatomical sciences face an epistemic and institutional tension: morphology,

Compressibility of expansive soil mixed with sand and its correlation to index properties

Heliyon
Prior research has primarily focused on Atterberg limits, void ratios, and/or water content, often disregarding the impact of coarse material percentage in the soil, which significantly affects compressibility behavior. This paper examines the effects of

Measuring Consumer Aversion Toward AI in Marketing Communication and Assessing Its Relationship to Brand Perceptions and Purchase Intention

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some consumers exhibit aversion toward artificial intelligence (AI), particularly when it is embedded in persuasive marketing communication (MarCom). Here, we developed and validated a measure of consumer aversion to AI in MarCom and examined its downstream consequences for brand perceptions and purchase intention.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Critical roles of short‐range‐order minerals in shaping soil water retention curves in volcanic regions

Vadose Zone Journal
Predicting water retention is difficult for highly aggregated volcanic soils (Andisols) with heterogeneous pore size distribution. This paper aimed to examine how andic materials influence soil water retention based on soil composition.

Oxidative Fast Pyrolysis Enabling Autothermal Production of Porous Functionalized Biochar and Anhydrosugar/Phenol‐Rich Bio‐Oil From Biomass

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Oxidative fast pyrolysis of biomass enables autothermal production of value‐added products. ABSTRACT Oxidative fast pyrolysis can potentially overcome the heat‐supply bottleneck of conventional fast pyrolysis by enabling autothermal operation while also tailoring product quality through controlled oxygen addition.
