Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles in Biomedicine: Advances and Prospects

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles offer unique properties like high surface area, tunable pores, and functionalization. They excel in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and stimuli‐responsive therapies, enabling targeted and controlled treatments. With roles in cancer therapy and diagnostics, their clinical translation requires addressing challenges in ...

NaCl-induced soil stress regulates the diversity of soil bacteria and their ability to metabolize low molecular weight organic acids

Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences
The effects of NaCl-induced soil stress on microbial diversity, enumeration, respiration, and substrate-induced respiration (SIR) induced by low-molecular-weight organic acids were assessed in four Omani date palm farm soils.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Response of floral hemp production to fertilizer nitrogen and phosphorus rates

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Few studies have evaluated the fertilizer requirements of floral hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). When hemp production was first legalized in Utah in 2019, many growers had questions about fertilizer requirements.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Effect of cultivation on maize response to nitrogen fertilizer : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Applied Science in Soil Science, Institute of Natural Resources, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2000
Continuous cultivation of arable soils results in the decline of 'soil quality' in terms of structural degradation and nutrient depletion. It decreases soil organic matter content, induces the leaching and gaseous losses of N through enhanced ...

Use of shallow samples to estimate the total carbon storage in pastoral soils [PDF]

, 2013
Using data from pastoral soils sampled by horizon at 56 locations across New Zealand, we conducted a meta-analysis. On average, the total depth sampled was 0.93 ± 0.026 m (± SEM), and on a volumetric basis, the total C storage averaged 26.9 ± 1.8, 13.9 ±
