Mitigating soil water deficit using organic waste compost and commercial water retainer: a comparative study under semiarid conditions
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
Semiarid regions have particularly been confronted with climate change effects reflected by the consistent decrease of rainfall and increase of evapotranspiration. This drought stress constitutes the main constraint for ...
Chitosan/lignosulfonate nanospheres as "green" biocide for controlling the microbiologically influenced corrosion of carbon steel
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this work, uniform cross-linked chitosan/lignosulfonate (CS/LS) nanospheres with an average diameter of 150-200 nm have been successfully used as a novel, environmentally friendly biocide for the inhibition of mixed ...
Exploring home-to-school trip mode choices in Kandy, Sri Lanka
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Schools are major trip generators in urban areas and school trips may largely contribute to the congestion, particularly during morning peak hours. This study investigates the home-to-school trip mode choices in Kandy city, ...
Synthesis and performance evaluation of Na(2-x)LixFeP2O7 (x=0, 0.6) hybrid cathodes
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2020 , Article)
This study reports hybrid cathodes formation by cation substitution in which Li+ substitution has been considered for Na+ in the structure of Na(2-x)LixFeP2O7 (x=0, 0.6) to form Na1.4Li0.6FeP2O7 cathodes. Na(2-x)LixFeP2O7 ...
