in this study, the ultrasonic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of organics in textile industrial effluent was studied using zno nano catalyst, zno nano catalyst was synthesized by using sol-gel method. the structure and morphology of the catalyst were investigated using scanning election microscopy (sem), electron dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (eds) and x-ray diffraction patte...

abstract saturated water content is one of the important parameters which its measurement is necessary in estimation of soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves. in several researches, saturated water content is assumed to be equal to soil total porosity. in some others, its value is estimated by pedotransfer functions using readily available parameters, such as bulk d...

zero tillage practices have a direct effect on soil microbial communities modifying soil productivity and sustainability. the crop sequences used can change the aforementioned properties, too. in this study, we evaluated the effect of crop sequences under zero tillage management on soil biological and chemical properties including vertical distribution of soil organic carbon, soil basal respira...
