BACKGROUND: Alternative furrow irrigation method is an effective procedure to reduce the amount of irrigation water in arid areas for economic production. OBJECTIVES: Assessment seed yield, its components and morphological characteristics of corn affected different level of irrigation regime and super absorbent polymer (SAP) under warm and dry climate con...

We report a novel experimental technique that measures simultaneously in three dimensions the trajectories, the translation, and the rotation of finite size inertial particles together with the turbulent flow. The flow field is analyzed by tracking the temporal evolution of small fluorescent tracer particles. The inertial particles consist of a super-absorbent polymer that renders them index an...

Inverse vulcanised sulfur polymer nanoparticles prepared by antisolvent precipitation–demonstrated as mercury ion absorbent in solution, showing high selectivity and capacity, membrane filters.

Adopting environmentally friendly or green technology and incorporating new alternative substrates for a sustainable agricultural industry has garnered the attention of numerous researchers. Although super absorbent hydrogels have exhibited great potential, natural hydrogel-based absorbents gained more interest due to their safe properties. The sources novel polymer are easily obtained from was...

Examining the behaviour of dense suspensions has proven to be difficult, both experimentally and numerically. Using super water–absorbent polymer, PIV measurement was successfully conducted in a hydrogel suspension with volume fraction (VF) Φ =20% (see Zhang Rival, 2018). However, due slightly refractive index mismatch, image quality will degrade significantly as particle loading is increased. ...
