Aims: To evaluate interaction of soil pH and acidity with weather on Rice Brown spot (BS) occurrence in rice lowlands. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Four distinct rice lowlands ...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) was endorsed in recent digital communication technologies such as 4G-LTE to cope with multipath fading channel, and respond to increasingly high data rate demand. Despite ...

Ordinary Portland cement is the highest produced cement type in the world, however its production is high energy consumption means expensive, huge natural resource consumptive, and creating high environmental pollution. ...

Bentonite is a natural pozzolanic material mostly composed of SiO2 and employed in cementing materials for the reduction of cement consumption and CO2 emission besides improving performance of cement composite material by ...

Composite electrode materials for removing paraquat from contaminated water were synthesized by loading aluminium oxide (Al2O3) onto activated carbon (AC) via co-precipitation method. The composite properties were investigated ...

Climate change is expected to alter the growing conditions of agricultural crops. With increasing surface temperature, future suitable areas for crop production will see an altitude shift. Such shift is an adaptation ...

Access to modern energy is essential for socioeconomic development, yet Africa faces significant challenges in this regard. For example, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is marked by economic underdevelopment and poverty largely ...

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient multihop routing framework that is based on the total communication costs metric (E TER,min ), and implement it in a multihop clustering-based Agricultural Internet of Things ...

Agriculture is considered as the main source of food, employment and economic development in most African countries and beyond. In agricultural production, increasing quality and quantity of yield while reducing operating ...

In this present study, an in vivo experiment was carried out to determine the tendencies of a naturally occurring high-phenolic compound red-onion skin extract (HPC-ROSE) and conventional N-Vinylcaprolactam (N-VCAP) kinetic ...
