The objective of this study was to determine how topdressing or incorporating fertilizer with stratified mulched substrates could affect the growth Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Snow Queen’, a popular ornamental plant, and liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) bittercress (Cardamine flexuosa), two common nursery weed species. Five different substrate treatments were evaluated, which included three compos...

Utilizing rice hulls as growing media is commonly practiced. However, it had low valued of Water Holding Capacity (WHC) and Cation Exchange (CEC) which caused considered a quality for plants. Based on previous study, pyrolysis could alter physical chemical properties to form char. The aim this study was evaluate process by compare properties. This research conducted at two peak temperatures (45...

Jatropha hulls were successfully for the first time used as raw materials for the production of 2,3-butanediol via dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis and fermentation with Klebsiella oxytoca. Two-step hydrolysis was used to effectively hydrolyze the hulls at 150°C after pretreatment. In the first-step, hemicellulose was hydrolyzed under mild conditions (0.5h, 1.5% acid) to avoid secondary decompos...

[1] The channel network (S) is a nonconvex set, while its basin [C(S)] is convex. We remove open-end points of the channel connectivity network iteratively to generate a traveltime sequence of networks (Sn). The convex hulls of these traveltime networks provide an interesting topological quantity, which has not been noted thus far. We compute lengths of shrinking traveltime networks L(Sn) and a...

The nearest point problem (NPP), i.e., finding the closest points between two disjoint convex hulls, has two classical solutions, the Gilbert–Schlesinger–Kozinec (GSK) and Mitchell–Dem’yanov–Malozemov (MDM) algorithms. When the convex hulls do intersect, NPP has to be stated in terms of reduced convex hulls (RCHs), made up of convex pattern combinations whose coefficients are bound by a mo1 val...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary soybean hull supplementation on the growth performance and ammonia gas emission from excreta of fattening pigs. Six crossbreed (M×Y×B) fattening pigs were assigned to two dietary treatments, as control (no soybean hulls added) and experiment (10% soybean hulls added) groups. There was no significant difference in the results of growth p...

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediates, produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and acetylenic esters, by NH-acids such as azathioprine, imidazole or theophylline leads to the formation of vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which undergo a Michael addition reaction with a conjugate base to produce phosphorus ylides. Silica nanoparticles (silica NPs were prepared by therm...

The objective of the study was to evaluate chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), and growth performance of weanling Boer-goats supplemented with cowpea seed hulls (CSH) and commercial concentrate / feed (CF) with natural pasture as basal diet. Weanling Boer-goats (n=36) were assigned to 3 treatments comprising of 4 animals each (2 bucklings and 2 females) replicated t...
