The necessity to increase crop yields while minimizing adverse environmental impacts, has pushed agricultural practices towards finding new biodegradable materials for various applications. In this study, three types of carbohydrate beads, prepared agar, alginate and gellan- gum, were tested their impact during a soil biodegradation process. To assess the following measurements taken: (1) soil-respiration (emitted CO2, O2 CH4) by respirometer, (2) measuring emissions volatile organic...
Plasticulture, the practice of using plastic materials in agricultural applications, consumes about 6.7 million tons plastics every year, which is 2% overall global annual production. For different reasons, material used for agriculture difficult to recycle. Therefore, most it either buried fertile soils, thereby significantly causing deterioration their properties, or, at best case, end landfills where its half-life measured decades and even centuries. Hence, developing biodegradable that...
Introduction Safe and efficient treatment of organic waste is crucial to developing a sustainable food system around the world. Soil biosolarization (SBS) soil technique that can use solid wastes treat in way alternative chemical fumigants improve fertility agriculture. Methods In this study, two types wastes, green tea (GTW) fish (FW), were evaluated for feasibility being applied as amendments within simulations high-temperature cycle SBS. The evaluation was conducted by execution three...
Organic food-waste is an ever growing environmental, economic, and social problem. One way to address this problem find new ways valorise food waste in a circular economical manner. In study, the concept of separating from at its source eateries was applied obtain separated fish residues general our university's canteen. This study first known attempt use as soil amendments for biosolarization (SBS), treatment method which environment-friendly alternative chemical fumigation soil. unique...
The clinical practices of electrophysiological monitoring for the prognosis neurological recovery in patients were limited by lack objective and quantitative assessment. Quantitative EEG (QEEG), a method that utilizes advanced mathematic signal processing techniques to analyze signals, shows promise increasing accuracy predictions. In this study, we applied wavelet decomposition signals collected rodents suffered asphyxial cardiac arrest found significant differences relative band powers...
Motivation: APTw imaging can detect abnormal proteins associated with AD, but the APT signal is confounded by NOE signal, which affects diagnostic performance. Goal(s): We want to separate and signals see if clean are better biomarkers for AD diagnosis than signal. Approach: EMR fitting was performed voxel-wise. Group-based analysis of fitted APT#, NOE# values inside cortex hippocampus. Results: APT# provide contrast diagnosis. The impact may explain discrepancy between animal human studies...
Motivation: Ischemia and neuroinflammation, two key endophenotypes post-TBI, are difficult to assess in vivo. Goal(s): Our goal was evaluate the feasibility of utilizing amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging as a biomarker for detecting neuroinflammation ischemia post-TBI. Approach: Brain APTw MRI signals 55 rats subjected mild, moderate, or severe TBI were analyzed compared other criteria defining ischemia. Results: The areas under curve (AUCs) ipsilateral cortex at 3 days 1 hour...
Motivation: Monitoring post-chemoradiotherapy malignant gliomas is a persistent challenge in neuro-oncology. The peritumoral region, closely related to tumor recurrence, has been infrequently examined the imaging pattens and potential mechanism. Goal(s): Our objective was explore whether CEST MRI could distinguish recurrence from treatment effects uncover mechanisms behind high-grade gliomas' invasive behavior. Approach: We investigated at 3.5ppm 2.0ppm, as well T1 T2 values regions of with...
