🌟 I am thrilled to announce that our book, "Sustainability Principles and Applications in Engineering Practice," has been published by NOVA Science Publishers and is now available online! 📚 You can find the book here: Sustainability Principles and Applications in Engineering Practice – Nova Science Publishers (https://lnkd.in/gcpczZKY) I had the privilege of co-authoring Chapter 5, titled "Hydroponic Farming for Sustainable Agricultural Practices in Urban Environments," alongside my talented teammates Prasansa Bhagat, Charan Ks, and Kshitij Sharma, under the expert guidance of Dr. C.Gururaj. Here’s a glimpse of what Chapter 5 covers: Instead of using soil to grow plants, hydroponics utilizes nutrient-rich water. This method offers several advantages over conventional soil-based techniques, including the ability to control nutrient levels, the potential to grow plants in areas with poor or contaminated soil, and the capacity to cultivate plants in smaller spaces. Hydroponic systems can involve configurations like floating rafts in nutrient solutions or containers filled with growing mediums like coconut coir or perlite. Commonly grown plants in hydroponic systems include lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this work. Your expertise and dedication have been invaluable in creating a comprehensive resource that will benefit professionals and researchers in the field of sustainable engineering. Thank you for your hard work and commitment in bringing this book to life. Your contributions have truly made a difference. #Hydroponics #Agriculture #SustainableAgriculture #Innovation #GreenTechnology #SustainablePractices #EnvironmentalEngineering

Cheese melting is more than just magic—it's science! Prateek Sharma, a food scientist at Utah State University College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, explains how casein proteins, calcium bonds, and acidity determine whether cheese turns gooey or stays solid. Learn how slight changes in milk and cheese-making techniques create the perfect melt (or not) in all your favorite dishes in the link below!

Annals of Forest Science is an international Research journal devoted to publish research results under different formats (research, review, data and opinion papers among others) with a full open access procedure and moderate APCs. It is devoted to forests in a changing world, and a focus is made on pluri- and inter-disciplinary research required to address the complex issues posed by forests. In our posts, we will report on the published material, analyse the broader picture that is addressed in the published papers, and disseminate more information about our journal and its commitment to Open Science and Scientific Integrity (data policy, Open Peer Review, debates, and many others).   To follow us on LinkedIn:     Annforsci To read the journal:              https://lnkd.in/eBikwXq8 To submit a manuscript:      https://lnkd.in/e8-4Qhqn To browse our blog:              ist.blogs.inrae.fr/afs/ Annals of Forest Science is one of the journal produced by INRAE (since 1964) and published by Springer-Nature since 2011), under a full Open Access Procedure since 2022.

Article update: Another article published in the International Journal of Agricultural and Statistical Sciences: "Assessment of Land Use System and Its Impact on Soil Properties of Indian Solonetz Soils". This study focuses on understanding how different land use systems—arable land, pasture, and bare land—affect the chemical and microbiological properties of salt-affected soils in India. Our findings highlight the significant role of farmers' land use decisions and their impact on soil health, particularly in areas prone to salinization and degradation. You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gnWUmmeC A big thank you to my co-authors :) Marianna Makádi, Dr. Jaspal Singh, Márta Fuchs, Ádám Csorba, Michéli Erika, Gábor Várbíró, and Tamas Szegi.

Finland's JUFO Publication Forum is downgrading 271 journals from MDPI and Frontiers to Level 0, indicating they no longer recommend publishing in these journals due to quality concerns. And yes, the list includes Plants, Agronomy, Horticulturae, Agriculture, Frontiers in Plant Science and alike. https://lnkd.in/dexG_JmR

I am excited to share my latest article, "Unpacking Parco Agricolo Sud through a socio-spatial production perspective," published in the Italian Class A academic journal Territorio. It reports some of my initial doctoral research work carried out in Milan, specifically in the South Milan Agricultural Park. This paper is part of a collection of eight articles entitled "Beyond Eboli—issues of rural order," curated by Antonio di Campli and Chiara Nifosì. https://lnkd.in/dCuTxJgd

Soil moisture (SM) is crucial in major agricultural regions worldwide. Solar spectrum (SS) and thermal spectrum (ST) information facilitates monitoring of crop SM using satellite data. However, the derived behavior from SS and ST differs in the achieved response. Therefore, it is relevant to explore the response of satellite-derived approaches with in-situ measurements. In this study, we discuss results obtained in wheat and barley campaigns in the central region of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. You can read the study and give your impression. I believe it's important to consider that phenology is a relevant aspect that can alter a result. https://lnkd.in/d-u_ukxg
