Mitigating soil water deficit using organic waste compost and commercial water retainer: a comparative study under semiarid conditions by Zgallai, Hatem

“…This drought stress constitutes the main constraint for agricultural production improvement, which is aggravated by the fact that strategic (field) crops are mostly grown under rainfed systems. Therefore, the objective of this field study was to improve soil water retention by the application of two conditioners namely, an organic waste compost (DS) and a synthetic water-retaining hydrogel (WS). …”

Anticoagulant activity of cellulose nanocrystals from isora plant fibers assembled on cellulose and sio2 substrates via a layer-by-layer approach by Mohan T.

“…The multi-layered structure, adsorbed mass, conformational changes, and anticoagulant activity of sequen-tially deposited anionic (sulfated) CNCs and cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the surfaces of cellulose and SiO2 by LBL deposition were investigated using a quartz crystal microbalance tech-nique. The organization and surface features (i.e., morphology, thickness, wettability) of CNCs ad-sorbed on the surfaces of PEI deposited at different ionic strengths (50-300 mM) of sodium chloride were analysed in detail by profilometry layer-thickness, atomic force microscopy and contact angle measurements. …”
