Effect of graphene nanoparticles on engine operated using simarouba

Journal of Mines, Metals and Fuels, 2022
In the present study, simarouba biodiesel suspended with graphene nano particles was prepared. Prepared combination is mixed with diesel to form test samples. Ultraviolet–visible (UV-V) spectrometry was used for characterizing the dispersion. Tests were carried out on a single-cylinder, water-cooled and computerized 4-stroke diesel engine.

Physiological and Growth Responses of Tropical Dry Forest Tree Seedlings to Water and Nutrient Additions: Comparisons Between Nitrogen Fixers and Non‐Fixers

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
This study examined the physiological and growth responses of tropical dry forest tree seedlings to water and nutrient additions, comparing nitrogen (N)‐fixing and non‐fixing species. The results showed that N‐fixing species responded more strongly to nutrient addition, accumulating significantly more biomass and increasing height growth rate. Overall,

Gaia: Complex systems prediction for time to adapt to climate shocks

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Earth's climate has undergone significant fluctuations in the geologic past, while the sun's radiation continues to increase, yet has always returned to conditions highly favorable to life. Thus, the biosphere overall appears able to cancel effects of external trends as well as provide negative feedback to internal fluctuations.
