. Abstract: The practice of using cow dung for soil conditioning and fertilization dates back to the early history of man, even though, it has received greater attention in recent times due to high cost of chemical fertilizer as well as the environmental impacts on sustainable agriculture. This study explores the three methods of cow dung stabilization namely: composting in 3m depth compost pit...

Cement stabilization is one of the commonly used techniques to improve the strength of soft ground/clays, generally found along coastal and low land areas. The strength development in cement stabilization technique depends on the soil properties, cement content, curing period and environmental conditions. For optimal and effective utilization of cement, there is a need to develop a mathematical...

Much uncertainty remains in measuring the inter-annual and longer-term dynamics of vegetation gross net primary productivity (GPP, NPP) connected land carbon sink. Potential for better GPP estimation lies newer satellite products representing different processes or states, but how they capture interannual to be explored. Here, we differentiate shorter- their drivers several Earth-observation-ba...

One of the indexes of stabilization pond is the presence of coliform bacteria in water and wastewater. This study aimed to determine the effect of solar light on coliform variations in stabilization pond. In this experimental study, the effect of light, pH (<7, 7.1–8, 8.1–9), and temperature (10 ºC and 30 ºC) on facultative stabilization pond was studied for six months. The sampling was accompl...

Many studies have been conducted on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps over horizontal basins. On sloping basins, however, few such studies have been performed so that the issue requires more investigation. A significant number of studies has also been conducted on basins with positive slopes but comparatively few have been carried out on basins with negative slopes. This study was carried ...

Passive stabilization methods for satellites have undergone extensive research and development. Recently the number of small satellites (satellites less than I 00 kg.) has increased dramatically. This has lead to increased use of passive stabilization methods, such as gravity-gradient The core of a gravity-gradient stabilization system is a deployable boom with a damping mechanism. Traditionall...

The basic molecules required for sustaining life on earth include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). DNA is considered to be the building block of life and can adopt various types of secondary structures. Gehring et al. revealed for the first time that DNA sequences having long cytosine stretch can form unconventional secondary structures called i-Motifs [1]. Thes...
