Hydrogels are known to adsorb a large amount of vapor and liquid water, making them good candidates enhance the dew condensed from atmosphere. Although water adsorption invasion in hydrogels have been object many studies, condensation has only little investigated. We address here process on hydrogel grains widely used agriculture (Aquasorb 3005TM). show that condensing is enhanced when compared...

Unsustainable development has often threatened watershed ecology in many parts of the world, and population growth played a major role this process. Our study consists management plan. The degradation environments by bushfire, timber exploitation, firewood harvesting dew soil pollutes spring water, addition, there are also negative impacts on physicochemical property soil. This research aims to...

Objective(s): Combination chemotherapy is a rational strategy to increase patient response and tolerability and to decrease adverse effects and drug resistance. Recently, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been reported to be associated with reduction in occurrence of a variety of cancers including lung cancer. On the other hand, growing evidences suggest that deuteri...

ABSTRACT- Many fruits, vegetables and ornamental crops of tropical origin experience physiological damage when subjected to low temperatures. Protection of plants from the effects of lethally low temperatures is important in agriculture, especially in horticultural production of high value fruits and vegetables. The objective of this study was to develop a simple model to predict the daily mini...

Due to the ever-growing demand for bast fibres technical and garment textiles, complementary sources textile flax, whose cultivation in western Europe cannot really be extended, need proposed. In this study, interest harvesting processing linseed flax straw is studied geotextile applications. The main critical stages of fibre-to-yarn production geotextiles were investigated. Different dew retti...

Moisture-harvesting lizards, such as the Australian thorny devil, Moloch horridus, have the remarkable ability to inhabit arid regions. Special skin structures, comprising a micro-structured surface with capillary channels in between imbricate overlapping scales, enable the lizard to collect water by capillarity and transport it to the mouth for ingestion. The ecological role of this mechanism ...

In this paper we propose an energy dissipation mechanism that is completely reliant on changes in the aggregation state of the phycobilisome light-harvesting antenna components. All photosynthetic organisms regulate the efficiency of excitation energy transfer (EET) to fit light energy supply to biochemical demands. Not many do this to the extent required of desert crust cyanobacteria. Followin...

Field drying trials were conducted using both field baskets as well as grab sampling techniques to study drying behaviour of switchgrass and maize (corn) stover (CS). Environmental conditions such as hourly solar radiation, vapour pressure deficit (VPD), average wind speed, rainfall amount, harvesting method, and field operations such as swath density were used as variables for model developmen...
