Blockchain offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation in financial transactions. A whole new world of opportunities for banking, lending, insurance, money transfer, investments, and stock markets awaits. However, ...
Carbon mineralization, biological indicators, and phytotoxicity to assess the impact of urban sewage sludge on two light-textured soils in a microcosm
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
The agricultural reuse of urban sewage sludge (USS) modifies soil properties depending on sludge quality, management, and pedo-environmental conditions. The aim of this microcosm study was to assess C mineralization and ...
Nutrient retention and release from raw exhausted grape marc biochars and an amended agricultural soil: Static and dynamic investigation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Biochar is the solid by-product of biomass thermochemical conversion via pyrolysis technique. Biochar addition to croplands as an organic amendment can improve soil properties and increase agricultural productivity. However, ...

(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
The spinel structure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is a propitious cathode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for fast charge-discharge applications, but its capacity decay mechanism and rate-limiting process are ...
Monitoring the variation of soil quality with sewage sludge application rates in absence of rhizosphere effect
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Agricultural soils in semi-arid regions have frequently been degraded due to adverse climatic conditions, organic matter depletion, and poor farming practices. To enhance soil quality, this study examines the reuse of ...
Microstructure and mechanical behavior of hot extruded aluminum/tin-bismuth composites produced by powder metallurgy
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, Al-BiSn composites were synthesized by a combination of microwave sintering and hot extrusion processes. The structural, morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties were investigated to elucidate the ...
Community-level genetic profiles of actinomycetales in long-term biowaste-amended soils
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Actinomycetales is an order of actinobacteria that have an important role in the decomposition of organic matter. Their abundance and distribution can reflect a good level of soil fertility as well as biological activity. ...
