casing material or soil (casing) is used in mushroom (agaricus bisporus) culture to cover a nutritional composted substrate colonised with mycelium, and has an essential function in stimulating and promoting the development of sporophores (fruit bodies). in order to use the agricultural by products (different wastes) to reduce peat consumption of casing soil in button mushroom production, an ex...

the kinetic study of methylene blue (mb) adsorption using acid-activated spent tea (aast) as an adsorbent from aqueous solution with the aim of comparing linear and non-linear regression analysis methods was performed at varying initial mb concentrations (10-100 mg/l). hence, spent tea leaves, which were activated using concentrated sulfuric acid, were prepared. the physicochemical characterist...

It is now acknowledged that certain foods may affect mood and behavior. Recently, the food industry has seen a rise in foods containing beverages such as green tea cake, ice-cream, coffee biscuits as per the traditional chocolate as a food and cocoa beverage. Green tea has been suggested to exert numerous health properties, including anxiolytic properties (Vignes et. al. 2006), as does cocoa (i...

The morning tea break performs several useful and evidence-based functions, in providing a space for networking exchanging information, building relationships, reducing stress. However, higher education context predicated on outputs performance, the time spent talking to colleagues over cuppa is often considered wasteful indulgence, even harder organise meaningfully with our post-Covid hybrid p...
