A Strong and Water‐Retaining Biomass Adhesive Inspired by Tofu
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Drawing inspiration from the formation mechanism of the traditional food tofu, a strong and water‐retaining adhesive is designed using the soybean meal (SM) oxidized by glucose oxidase (GOx) and calcium sulfate oligomer (CSO). This design strategy effectively addresses the conflicting requirements of water‐resistant bonding strength and water retention

Analytical expressions of variable specific yield for layered soils in shallow water table environments [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper presents analytical expressions of variable specific yield for layered soils in shallow water table environments, with introducing two distinct concepts of point specific yield (Syp) and interval average specific yield (Syi). The Syp and Syi refer to the specific yield for the water table fluctuation approaching zero infinitely and that for ...

Comparative Analysis and Calibration of Low Cost Resistive and Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Soil moisture is an essential parameter in agriculture. It determines several environmental and agricultural activities such as climate change, drought prediction, irrigation, etc. Smart irrigation management requires continuous soil moisture monitoring to reduce unnecessary water usage.

Use of soil and climate data to assess the risk of agricultural drought for policy support in Europe. [PDF]
, 2001 This paper describes the use of soil and climatic data for assessing the risk of drought in Europe. Soil moisture regimes are defined for soil classification purposes and these can be used to delineate areas with the same type of soil climate.

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...

Expanding alternate wetting and drying and improving its productivity in irrigated rice: Identification of required plant traits and suitable soil types [PDF]
, 2010 Irrigated rice consumes two to three times more water than other cereals. The availability of water is, however, decreasing and this prompted researchers to find ways in saving water in irrigated rice fields where high yield is critical to ensure food ...
