Desert Plant Inspired Hierarchical Nanofibrous Membranes for Integrated Solar Desalination and Heavy Metal Remediation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An Alhagi maurorum inspired hierarchical composite membrane (NFCu) was developed by integrating heavy metal remediation and solar‐driven interfacial evaporation in a single platform. Beyond the photothermal effect, a localized photocatalytic process is realized on the CuO surface, deepening the mechanistic understanding of light–matter–water ...

Study on the correlation of macro-fine parameters of surrounding rock in sand and cobble tunnel based on discrete element

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2022
As a mixture of soil and rock, the deformation of surrounding rock caused by tunnel excavation in the sandy cobble stratum is affected by the meso-structure of the stratum.

Effect of biochar application rate on macronutrient retention and leaching in two coconut growing soils

open access: yesTechnology in Agronomy, 2023
Low nutrient reserves and poor soil fertility management in coconut cultivation have limited coconut productivity. Biochar is one of the best solutions to improve soil nutrient reserves and fertility over time.

Grassland management, soil biota and ecosystem services in sandy soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent legislative restrictions on the use of fertilizers and irrigation, and a quest for sustainable farming systems have drawn renewed attention to the functioning of the soil and the ecosystem services it provides. Soil biota play an important role in

Effects of soil compaction and mechanical damage at harvest on growth and biomass production of short rotation coppice willow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The effects of soil compaction and mechanical damage to stools at harvesting on the growth and biomass production of short rotation coppice (SRC) of willow (Salix viminalis L.) were monitored on clay loam (CL) and sandy loam (SL) soils.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

EFFECT OF POULTRY MANURES AND WATER STRESS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF POTATOES SOLANUM TUBEROSUM L. IN GYPSIFEROUS AND SANDY SOIL [PDF]

open access: yesمجلة الأنبار للعلوم الزراعية, 2019
A pot experiment was conducted in the fall season of 2017 in Falluja – Anbar Province to study the effect of poultry manure and water stress on growth and yield of potatoes in gypsiferous (Loam) and sandy soil (Loamy sand). Poultry manure was added

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Growth and yield responses in maize to split and delayed fertilizer applications on sandy soils under high rainfall regimes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The yield of maize (Zea mays L.) on sandy soils with high rainfall regimes is generally low due to poor nutrient use efficiency. Split and delayed basal fertilizer applications are possible strategies to improve the crop yield and reduce nutrient loss ...

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes
