A suite of agronomic factors can offset the effects of climate variability on rainfed maize production in Kenya

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Achieving food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a multidimensional challenge. SSA reliance on food imports is expected to grow in the coming decades to meet the population's demand, projected to double to over 2 billion people by 2050. In addition,

Estimating bioavailable reserves and potential leaching of soil P by simple chemical tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The amounts of P extracted with acid ammonium acetate are significantly correlated with the bioavailable P reserves of Finnish soils. Together with clay percentage the simple extraction method is fairly reliable.

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Effect of electric field frequency on phytoremediation efficiency and properties of Cd-contaminated soil

open access: yesEnvironmental Sciences Europe
Electrochemical-phytoextraction is considered as an integrated technology for removal of Cd in contaminated soil. However, there is a lack of systematic studies on the how electric field frequency plant Cd enrichment and soil microbial properties, which ...

Effects of soil grain size and solution chemistry on the transport of biochar nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Biochar nanoparticles (BC-NP) have attracted significant attention because of their unique environmental behavior, some of which could potentially limit large-scale field application of biochar.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

The Improvement of Soil Chemical Properties of Typic Hapludults by Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Polyanthestuberosa L. is a potential flowering plant that will be developed in Jatinangor. However, the Typic Hapludults soil in Jatinangor has a clay texture, an acid soil reaction, and a high level of total-P, but there is a low available-P, which will

Assessing the contribution of vegetation to slope stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Many embankments and cuttings associated with the transportation infrastructure in the UK are only marginally stable. Engineering techniques such as soil nailing, geosynthetic reinforcement, improved drainage and ground improvement by stabilisation are ...

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation
