Impact of urban sewage sludge on soil physico-chemical properties and phytotoxicity as influenced by soil texture and reuse conditions
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Report)
Urban sewage sludge (USS) is increasingly applied to agricultural soils, but mixed results have been reported because of variations in reuse conditions. Most field trials have been conducted in cropping systems, which ...
Seed Biofortification by Engineered Nanomaterials: A Pathway to Alleviate Malnutrition?
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article Review)
Micronutrient deficiencies in global food chains are a significant cause of ill health around the world, particularly in developing countries. Agriculture is the primary source of nutrients required for sound health, and ...
Autonomous electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in cities
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Heavy dependence on personal vehicle usage made the transportation sector a major contributor to global climate change and air pollution in cities. In this study, we analyzed autonomous electric vehicles and compared their ...
A comparison of bio-crude oil production from five marine microalgae – Using life cycle analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Marine microalgae biomass could offer a viable feedstock for sustainably producing biofuel by hydrothermal liquefaction. In this study, five promising marine microalgae (i.e., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Synechococcus, ...
