Biochar soil amendment can improve growing medium water and nutrient status and crop productivity.A pot experiment was conducted using Solanum lycopersicum var.cerasiforme plants to investigate the effects of biochar amendment (20% application rate) on a soilless substrate, as well as on plant growth, fruit yield, and quality.During the experiment,
The experience of Congolese women refugees in South Africa: A Church response
The lives of women refugees are often challenging wherever they find asylum, and Congolese women refugees living in South Africa are no different.Many left their home country during the spidertattooz.com six-year war (1996-2002) in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but the migration continues because of political and economic insecurity, among othe
Al-Si10-Mg Manufactured by Selective Laser Melting: Microstructure Sensitivity to Close Values of the Heat Input
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an attractive Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology for the fabrication of metallic components with complex structures and high performances.This process fulfills the goals of sustainable production by reducing material waste, optimizing product topology, and recycling metallic powder.Aluminum alloys exhibit also s
Comparison of machine learning models predicting the pull-off strength of modified epoxy resin floors
It is becoming popular to replace destructive laboratory testing with related nondestructive testing (NDT) and/or machine learning (ML) techniques.Such an approach is becoming particularly desirable in operating facilities, where failing components result not only in the need for repair but also in the suspension of facility use for up to several m
