Vertical Farming using Smart Farming

INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 2023
Nutrient content (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) monitoring in soils is essential for the proper use of fertilizers to minimize the environmental impact of wrong pattern fertilization practice. Collecting samples from different locations and laboratory testing takes longer and costs a lot.

Treatment with KCL‐286, a first‐in‐class retinoic acid receptor‐β (RARβ) agonist, ameliorates neuronal DNA damage and inflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Repair of neuronal DNA damage in Alzheimer's disease by KCL‐286. (A) Amyloid‐β oligomers and plaques impair neuronal DNA repair pathways, leading to DNA double‐strand breaks and glial activation. (B) KCL‐286 activates RARβ/RXR signalling via retinoic acid response elements (RAREs), associated with increased BRCA1 expression, enhanced DNA repair and ...

Are Vertical Farms Sustainable?

Frontiers for Young Minds, 2023
Today, cities are growing—taking up more space and filling up with more people. The growth of cities reduces the Earth’s natural resources and the amount of land available for farming. As Earth’s population grows, food production must increase so that everyone will have enough to eat. Vertical farming is a type of farming that can be done within cities,

Creep Properties and Deformation Mechanism of Additively Manufactured NiAl‐CrMo Composites

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additively manufactured NiAl‐CrMo composites contain numerous interfaces and cell boundaries that control their creep response. At 700°C under high applied stress, creep is dominated by dislocation‐controlled power‐law mechanisms. At 800°C–900°C and lower stresses, creep is primarily diffusion‐controlled along cell boundaries.

Multilayer Self‐Limiting Electrospray Deposition via Stepped Voltage Bias

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐limiting electrospray deposition (SLED) uses a high voltage to generate and deposit a charged payload on a target surface. The coating retains its charge, repelling newly arriving material. SLED thickness can be decreased by applying a secondary bias to the target.
