Biodegradation, mechanical and biocompatibility evaluation of compact and porous polylactic acid after long‐term dynamic fluid immersion

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Polylactic acid (PLA) is the most widely used thermoplastic in applications in the benefit of humans, such as biomedicine and food packaging. However, its behaviour when operating in relevant environments has not been fully investigated.

A short history of the phosphorus index and Andrew Sharpley's contributions from inception through development and implementation

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract In the 1980s, growing recognition of agricultural phosphorus (P) sources to surface water eutrophication led to scrutiny of animal feeding operations. In 1990, the USDA‐Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) invited prominent scientists to find a solution. It was at an initial meeting that Dr. Andrew Sharpley suggested that P assessment

A review of the development and implementation of the critical source area concept: A reflection of Andrew Sharpley's role in improving water quality

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Critical source areas (CSAs) are small areas of a field, farm, or catchment that account for most contaminant loss by having both a high contaminant availability and transport potential. Most work on CSAs has focused on phosphorus (P), largely through the work in the 1990s initiated by Dr.

SugarcaneNet: An Optimized Ensemble of LASSO-Regularized Pre-trained Models for Accurate Disease Classification [PDF]

arXiv
Sugarcane, a key crop for the world's sugar industry, is prone to several diseases that have a substantial negative influence on both its yield and quality. To effectively manage and implement preventative initiatives, diseases must be detected promptly and accurately.

Soil moisture estimation of bare and vegetation-covered areas using a P/L/C-band SAR [PDF]

arXiv
The paper introduces a novel approach for estimating soil moisture in vegetated surfaces, specifically focusing on sugarcane crops throughout various growth stages in agriculture applications. While existing models typically address bare soil scenarios, this model utilizes data from P-, L-, and C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to estimate soil ...

Deviation From the Regression of Yield on Nitrogen Fertiliser Rate as a Tool for Detecting Fraud in Organic Banana Production

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Bananas are demanding in nitrogen (N) input; therefore, there is a temptation for organic farmers for using synthetic N fertilisers, which are not allowed under organic standards. The aim of our study was to develop a tool that identifies high banana yields obtained with suspiciously low organic N input.
