Potassium transport and use efficiency for sustainable fertigation in protected cropping by Sonali

“…The increasing demand for high-quality horticultural produces in global markets has driven the growing crop production under protected cropping, which are usually more efficient in fertilizer use compared to field cultivation. As one of the key macronutrients, available potassium (K+) resources have decreased due to the expansion of intensive agriculture and excessive use of K fertilizers. …”

Spatial-temporal pattern of cultivated land productivity based on net primary productivity and analysis of influencing factors in the Songhua River basin by Yang, Shiliang

“…The results showed that: (1) the area of cultivated land in SRB decreased, but NPP of cultivated land area increased, during 2000-2020; (2) spatially, NPP was relatively low in the middle of the basin and gradually increased towards the periphery; (3) The main positive factors were the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), slope, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and total nitrogen, while the main negative factors were temperature, Ratio Vegetation Index, and total phosphorus. …”

Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a network flow model for emergency response planning which provides location and allocation plans of temporary distribution facilities for short distribution periods in the planning horizon. …”

Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame by Guterbock, Thomas

“…Nevertheless, EWP samples have distinct advantages whenever a survey is aimed at a restricted geographic area.This paper considers the feasibility of combining EWP samples with cell-phone RDD, eliminating the ordinary RDD component from the sampling frame. We analyze the components of the telephone population, showing that the proposed method would fail to cover only one segment of the telephone population: unlisted landline households that have no cell phone. …”

Developing sustainable draw solute for forward osmosis process using poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles by Hassanein, Amani

“…Forward osmosis is the least energy intensive water treatment membrane process, however, designing a sustainable draw solute is still a critical research necessity. In this work, we developed Poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles (PAMAM-MNPs) to be used as a draw solute in the forward osmosis process. …”
