- Abstract:
- ... Increase in machinery size and its random traffic at fields cause soil compaction resulting in damage of soil structure and degradation of soil functions. Nowadays, rapid methods to detect soil compaction at fields are of high interest, especially proximal sensing methods such as electrical conductivity measurements. The aim of this work was to investigate whether electromagnetic induction (EMI) c ...

- Abstract:
- ... TiO₂/cement composites were prepared by a spraying method to degrade organic pollutants. After coated with waterproof liquid, pure cement pastes/mortars were sprayed with TiO₂ suspensions with different TiO₂ contents and spraying times. Photocatalytic properties, mechanical strength and durability were studied. Maximum photocatalytic activity and uniform TiO₂ distribution were achieved at the opti ...

- Abstract:
- ... Large scale germplasm screening for Chilo partellus resistance in maize is solely based on visual scoring of damage by leaf injury rating (LIR), where the accuracy in judging a genotype comes by experience of the person, who logically integrate certain symptoms such as levels of growth retardation. Since the pest spends more than half of its larval period damaging the stalk, a quantitative phenoty ...

This study was carried out about two years after a major landslide took place in Aranayake, Sri Lanka to evaluate geo-ecological status quo (spatial variation of vegetation and geo-environmental variables, and the correlations between them), and to identify spatially explicit landscape units (ecotopes). Sampling was done continuously based on a mesh covering visual landslide patch (disturbed area) ...

In fact, consequent phenomena such as water stagnation due to lack of water infiltration, insects proliferation and vegetable pests attack might be observed. Accordingly, the soil compaction causes and diagnosis should be deeply s ...

In Blattella germanica, the cytochrome P450 gene, CYP4G19, is overexpressed in a pyrethroid‐resistant strain. Here, we investigated whether CYP4G19 is involved in the biosynthesis of hydrocarbons and further contributes to cuticular pen ...
