Integrating Trees, Shrubs, and Perennial Biomass Crops into Livestock Systems: A Pathway to Sustainable Tropical Farming Systems
Abstract: Livestock production in the tropics faces increasing challenges due to climate change, land degradation, feed shortages, and environmental concerns. Integrating trees, shrubs, and perennial biomass crops into livestock farming systems offers a sustainable approach to addressing these challenges. This study explores the potentials of agroforestry-based livestock systems in enhancing feed availability, improving animal nutrition, promoting soil health, and mitigating the environmental footprint of livestock farming. Trees and shrubs provide high-protein …

Promoting Sustainable Agricultural Practices to Mitigate Nitrate and Pesticide Contamination in Uttar Pradesh Groundwater
Abstract: Groundwater serves as an indispensable resource for human consumption, agriculture, and industry globally, holding particular significance in India, where it supports over 80% of irrigation in states like Uttar Pradesh. However, the intensification of agricultural practices, characterized by the indiscriminate application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, has led to widespread contamination of these vital aquifers. This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of the prevalence, primary sources, and multifaceted impacts of …

Newly developed closed ecological cycle for solving environmental problems and obtaining high-quality biofuels
Abstract: Stagnant "green" zones of freshwater lakes, resulting from the excessive reproduction of phytoplankton in sunlit, stagnant waters, present a grave environmental hazard by causing the demise of phytoplankton and fish, and releasing hydrogen sulfide, rendering the water unsuitable for agricultural purposes. In this regard, the development of a closed ecological cycle, including the concentration of phytoplankton from the "green water" of the lake, which allows using most of the phytoplanktonconcentrate …

Classification of Electrical Conduits and Fittings in a Construction Project
Abstract: Building wiring is the electrical wiring and related devices such as meters, switches and light fittings used in buildings or other structures. Electrical wiring uses insulated conductors. Wires and cables are rated by the circuit voltage, temperature and environmental conditions (moisture, sunlight, oil, chemicals) in which they can be used, and their maximum current. Wiring safety codes vary by country and the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) is attempting to standardize …

Mechanical Characterization using Finite Element Analysis of Jute and E-Glass Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Composite Materials
Abstract: Recently, there has been a greater inclination towards natural fiber reinforced plastics composites (NFRPC) because these are environmentally friendly and cost-effective to synthetic fiber reinforced composites. The availability of natural fibers and ease of manufacturing have tempted researchers worldwide to try locally available inexpensive fibers and to study their feasibility of reinforcement purposes and to what extent they satisfy the required specifications of good reinforced polymer composite for tribological applications. …

Impact of Structural and Yielding Factors on Retaining Walls Behavior
Abstract: ABSTRACT Many factors are found to impact the behavior of retaining walls, RWs. These factors should be adopted in the design processes of these walls to satisfy the design requirements. They are linked to issues like structural behavior and yielding of the RWs. The major impacts of these factors are reviewed herein with some details. The reviewed factors exhibited that the yielding of RWs affects the design and modeling of …

A Smart App-Based Irrigation System for Sustainable Agriculture
Abstract: Abstract : Agriculture is significant factor in meeting up with the needs of the future, as well as the world's population that is likely to increase significantly in the coming years but agriculture is highly dependent on the availability of water. In many places erratic rains and scarce water resources have meant traditional irrigation methods have been inefficient and unsustainable. Farmers often use fixed time or judgment in irrigating the …
