Phosphorus (P) is essential for plants, but in acidic soils, it's often tightly bound and unavailable. To make P easier for plants to use, farmers sometimes mix it with organic matter. This study explored how loamy and clayey soils in a tropical region handled P differently, when pH was changed, and
Imagine having no clean water for drinking, showering, or washing dishes. That's the reality for people in Richmond, Va. A power outage at the city's water plant sparked a chain reaction that's left residents without safe water since Monday. City officials now expect the outage to continue until at
Farmers rely heavily on weather and soil moisture to decide when to water their crops. A group in Spain hit a snag while setting up a vineyard. They needed a budget-friendly way to monitor soil and air conditions. Commercial options were either too pricey or didn't fit their needs. So, they rolled u
Energy planning is tough because many things affect how much oil and coal are used. For example, the economy, weather, and even political decisions can change how much energy is needed. To help with this, scientists have come up with a new way to predict energy use by combining different smart compu
Offshore oil fields face a big problem when the weather turns bad—microwave signals become unstable and noisy. To fix this, scientists used a method called Lagrange multiplier symplectic singular value mode decomposition to clean up the signal's noise. This was done in five steps: rebuilding the sig
On Monday, North Korea launched a ballistic missile as U. S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was visiting South Korea. Blinken warned that North Korea was getting closer to Russia in terms of advanced space technology. He also mentioned that while a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas would likely
Ever wondered how cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum relate to gold, oil, and stock prices? This study examined five major cryptocurrencies and their connection to these traditional markets. A special method called 'cross-quantilogram' and 'quantile connectedness' was used to see how these m
Scientists dived into the world of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), focusing on the Turkish variety "Sarı Ulak. " They were curious about its phenolic compounds (PC), volatile compounds (VC), and fatty acids (FA). To understand these better, they used techniques like GC-FID and HPLC for characterizati
Ever wondered how China’s carbon market and crude oil prices bounce off each other? Research shows they’re closely tied. The study used a method called Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) to break down price movements into different scales. This helped scientists see how risk flows be
Bacterial meningitis can be really harmful, especially for kids in locations like Yemen, where conflicts make it tough to manage and treat this disease properly. This study takes a look at why some kids with bacterial meningitis in hospitals don't make it, focusing on places without many resources.
