Soil cracking modelling using the mesh-free SPH method [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
The presence of desiccation cracks in soils can significantly alter their mechanical and hydrological properties. In many circumstances, desiccation cracking in soils can cause significant damage to earthen or soil supported structures. For example, desiccation cracks can act as the preference path way for water flow, which can facilitate seepage flow ...

Water and soil salinity management and Sslt redistribution in irrigation systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Soil salinity is present in most of the large irrigation schemes over the world under the conjunctive effect of low quality irrigation water, aridity and lack of natural drainage ofsoils and aquifers.

Toward Sustainable Photocatalysis: Addressing Deactivation and Environmental Impact of Anodized and Sol–Gel Photocatalysts

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
A life‐cycle evaluation of TiO2 photocatalysts for water purification compares the effectiveness of Sol–Gel vs anodic oxides in tetracycline mineralization, targeting deactivation, regeneration, and environmental impact from a cradle‐to‐grave perspective.

Diet influences survival and growth of intensively reared larval saugeye (Sander vitreus × Sander canadensis)

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 450-457, December 2022., 2022
Abstract We evaluated the performance of five commercial microstarter diets (Otohime, Gemma Micro, Gemma Wean, Optimal Starter, and Omega One Fry) fed to first feeding larval saugeye Sander vitreus × Sander canadensis. Triplicate tanks of 2500 larvae (initial weight: 2.6 ± 0.6 mg) were stocked at 4 days post‐hatch (DPH) and fed treatment diets for 4 ...

Recent Advancements in Lung Cancer Metastasis Prevention Based on Nanostrategies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with lung cancer. Nanomedicine can be used to prepare efficient drug delivery systems owing to their advantages and plays an important role in the synergistic antimetastasis of lung cancer. This comprehensive review summarizes the emerging nanostrategies against lung cancer metastasis based on the ...

Optimizing maize–bean cropping systems for sustainable intensification in southern Ethiopia

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3283-3296, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Declining productivity and scarcity of cultivable land in smallholder systems call for exploring sustainable intensification options to increase productivity. Field experiments were conducted at five sites (Sites 1–5) of the Sidama region, southern Ethiopia, in 2018 and 2019 to determine the effects of cropping systems on maize (Zea mays L ...

Rational Design of Natural Xanthones Against Gram‐negative Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The skeletons are screened and obtained from natural xanthones to penetrate the outer membrane (OM) in Gram‐negative bacteria. The analog of α‐mangostin functionalized with amine groups crosses the OM through a self‐promoted pathway. The design and elucidation of antibacterial compounds crossing the OM facilitates the discovery of novel compounds ...

Comparing various sulfur sources for soybean grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3420-3428, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract A greenhouse experiment and a 2‐yr field trial were conducted to compare various S sources for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil. In the greenhouse, the sources included ammonium sulfate (AMS), monoammonium phosphate with a S ratio = 50:50 of AMS/elemental S (ES) – (AMS + ES), and ES + bentonite containing 90 ...
