Biochar from food waste: a sustainable amendment to reduce water stress and improve the growth of chickpea plants by Snigdhendubala Pradhan (9872262)

“…Two biochar application rates improved soil quality by increasing soil porosity from 49.3 to ≥ 53.4%, more than doubling cation exchange capacity to ≥ 21.1 cmolc.kg−1, providing a small reduction in bulk density of approximately 10% and decreasing electrical conductivity of the extract by at least 40% in comparison to control condition. …”

Game theoretical models for cloud federations. (2019) by Hammoud, Ahmad Tarek

“…What complicates the process is having the actual QoS delivered being worse than the promised QoS. Such could lead to the client changing federation, and the latter getting dissociated. …”

Distribution and predictors of emergency department charges by Dimassi, Hani

“…Results: Findings revealed that the professional fee (40.9 %) followed by facility fee (26.1 %) accounted for the majority of the ED charges. While greater than 80 % of visit charges went to physician and facility fee for low acuity cases, these contributed to only 52 and 54 % of the high acuity presentations where ancillary services and solutions’ contribution to the total charges increased. …”

Particle size and pH effects on remediation of chromite ore processing residue using calcium polysulfide (CaS5) by Moon, Deok Hyun

“…Ettringite formation, due to pH increase over time in the samples, where the initial pH was adjusted to 9, was verified by XRPD and SEM-EDX analyses, indicating that a pH less than 9 should be maintained to avoid ettringite formation.…”
