Lightweight, Strong, Hydrostable, Bendable, Rolled‐Up, and Biodegradable Straws Enabled by Nano‐ and Microarchitecture Tuning of the Wood Cell Wall and Molecular Welding Strategy

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
An all‐natural straw is fabricated through nano‐ and microarchitectural tuning of the wood cell wall using a molecular welding strategy. These all‐natural straws offer multiple advantages, including superior mechanical performance, excellent water and beverage stability, biocompatibility, full biodegradability, and recyclability.

Effects of stocking density on the performance of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in small‐scale lettuce‐Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) aquaponic system

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 458-469, December 2022., 2022
Graphical Abstract : Aquaponics, hydroponics, stocking density. Abstract Aquaponics incorporates aquaculture with hydroponics, whose principles and operations largely remain untested. Currently, there is a knowledge gap on the performance of aquaponic systems used for fish production under different stocking densities.

Water flow model on vegetated hillslopes with erosion [PDF]

arXiv
The water circulation in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere continuum and particularly the soil erosion induced by water are problems of main concern in the new era of climate change. The present paper aims to provide a mathematical tool to investigate the water-soil and water-plant interactions involved in the complex process of water flow on plant-covered ...

Impact of soil erosion and degradation on water quality: a review

, 2017
Severe soil erosion challenges exist in China as a result of long-term human related activities and its erosion-prone land forms and climate. Anthropogenic forces that alter the physical landscape cause substantial soil erosion which have adverse impact ...

The Global Warming Potential of Geoengineering via Radiative Cooling

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The cooling power of engineered radiative cooling materials is determined and compared to conventional construction and roofing materials and Earth's natural surfaces. Results show if 1% of Earth's surface are to be covered with state‐of‐the‐art radiative cooling materials the terrestrial radiative forcing would decrease by 1.61 W·m−2 (from 0.6 to −1 ...

Integration of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and vegetables (Amaranthus hybridus and Brassica rapa pekinensis) for improved production, water use efficiency and nutrient recycling

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 493-506, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Sustainable agriculture intensification is an urgent challenge in developing countries including Tanzania. One potential solution is to adopt farming systems that increase farm production by optimizing resource use efficiency, and integrated aquaculture system, which involves farming of fish and crops, is an example of such systems.

Using Polyvinyl Alcohol as Polymeric Adhesive to Enhance the Water Stability of Soil and its Performance [PDF]

arXiv
Soil degradation threatens agricultural productivity and food supply, leading to hunger issues in some developing regions. To address this challenge, we developed a low-cost, highly efficient, and long-term stable soil improvement method. We chose polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a commercially available polymer that is safe and non-degradable, to serve as a ...

Utilising feed effectors and automated feeders for semi‐intensive pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) production

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 540-551, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Feed effectors have been suggested to improve the efficiency of plant‐based shrimp diets by increasing attractability and palatability. This research trial aimed to expand upon previous Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) research involving plant‐based diets, feed effectors and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a laboratory setting ...
