In many tropical areas, evapotranspiration is the most important but least known component of the water cycle.An innovative method, named E3S (for EVASPA S-SEBI Sahel), was developed to provide spatially-distributed estimates of daily actual evapotranspiration (ETd) from remote sensing data in the Sahel.This CONSOLE MAST SET new method combines the
Effect of hydrophobic modification of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and salt addition on Pickering emulsions undergoing phase-transition
The charge density of emulsifiers determines the thermodynamics and kinetics adsorption properties at the oil-water interface of an emulsion.This study examines the rupture resistance and stability of the crystallized dispersed phase based on the partitioning capability of Mousepads cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with different surface charges.The c
Assessment of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill impact on Gulf coast microbial communities
One of the major environmental concerns of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Mousepads in the Gulf of Mexico was the ecological impact of the oil that reached shorelines of the Gulf Coast.Here we investigated the impact of the oil on the microbial composition in beach samples collected in June 2010 along a heavily impacted shoreline near Grand Isle,
Development and performance evaluation of a Pedal Operated Seed Cleaner (POS-Cleaner)
Abstract Traditional grain cleaning methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and yet very inefficient.The use of available mechanical seed cleaners is widely limited since they Handle are expensive to own, operate, and maintain.A Pedal Operated Seed Cleaner (PoS-Cleaner) was developed and its performance evaluated.Appropriate engineering princi
