Significance Identifying species assemblages that boost the provision of multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously (multifunctionality) is crucial to undertake effective restoration actions aiming at promoting biodiversity and high multifunctionality in a changing world. By disentangling effect traits on litter decomposition experiment, we show it possible identify across mixtures originating...

Multifunctionality of vanadate garnet phosphors in latent fingerprint detection, security inks, and dual-mode temperature sensing.

The food sector can be defined as the whole range of activities that determine the relationship between agricultural production and the consumer. The food sector includes all sorts of technical, trading and service activities related to the storage and processing, packaging, transport, distribution of food, and catering. The first section of this paper analyzes the challenges facing the future ...

Two types of Aluminum nitride (AlN) based ceramic nanocomposite with multifunctionality were investigated to improve machinability or electrical conductivity of AlN ceramics with high thermal conductivity. The AlN/BN nanocomposite was fabricated by pressureless sintering AlN-BN composite powder, which was prepared by reducing and heating AlN particles coated with a mixture of boric acid, urea a...
