Sheep wool-derived hydroponic substrates: Effects on radish yield and quality [PDF]
Climate change, declining efficiency in field food production, and the environmental burden of synthetic fertilizers highlight the urgent need for sustainable agricultural solutions. Simultaneously, significant volumes of biowaste, such as sheep wool and other plant/animal byproducts, remain underutilized, contributing to landfill growth and resource ...

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

A Two‐Step Procedure for Generating Domestic and Asymmetric Trade Costs When Data Are Scarce
ABSTRACT The practice of domestic trade cost measurement faces several challenges related to data quality, methodology and theory; but the major issue is that of data scarcity. Due to these facts, both domestic and asymmetric trade costs have been ignored despite being a feature of modern trade models.

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma
ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

Effects of pregnant sheep feeding on wool yield and live weight of lambs
Cilj ispitivanja je bio da se poboljšanom ishranom visokogravidnih ovaca poveća prinos vune, telesna masa i prirast jagnjadi. Ovce na tretmanu A bile su na nižem nivou ishrane, a na tretmanu B na poboljšanoj ishrani, odnosno višem nivou. Nakon 100 dana graviditeta, u zimskom periodu na tretmanu A, 10 ovaca je imalo znake opadanja vune.
