Drought negatively affects crop growth and development, so it is crucial to develop practical ways to reduce these consequences of water scarcity. The effect of the interactive potential of compost (Comp), mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and carbon nanoparticles (CNPS) on plant growth, photosynthesis rate...

2.3.2. Functionalization Approaches for Textiles Surface Modification To give or enhance functional qualities of common polymer fabrics, two main approaches could be employed. The first is centered on the creation of novel fibers, which is still an expensive strategy that frequently necessitates learnin...
ST was chosen because it is a methodology that supports the identification of key variables in a system (e.g., water quantity, water quality, number of sport-fishing tourists, or the estimation of the fish stock). It does so with a group model-building approach, where 30–40 participants...
