Herein, we report on a solid-state electrochemical sensor based on ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) for on-site detection of glyphosate. Accordingly, ZnO NPs was drop-cast on the surface of a disposable screen-printed carbon electrode. Eco-friendly ZnO NPs of only 7 nm crystallite sizes were obtained by green sol-gel synthesis using lemon (Citrus limon) waste aqueous extract as the green reducing and capping/stabilizing agent and Zn nitrate precursor as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction and diffuse reflectance. SEM confirmed successful electrode functionalization with the synthesized nanoparticles. Under laboratory conditions in acetate buffer (pH 5), the sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.648 \u00b5M, a wide linear detection range (0.5 \u00b5M to 7.5 mM), and a rapid detection time of 30 min. When tested in river water, the sensor achieved a detection limit of 0.96 \u00b5M using differential pulse voltammetry. It also exceptionally tolerated interference from similar organophosphorus compounds and ions commonly found in river water. The excellent detection performance of the sensor was attributed to the strong coordination interactions between Zn atoms and phosphonate/carboxylate groups that are enhanced by a hydrogen bond at acidic pH, as determined by chemical calculations. This disposable sensor offers a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for monitoring glyphosate in water systems.", "keywords": ["QD71-142", "Environmental water", "Eco-friendly ZnO nanoparticles", "Computational modeling", "Pesticides", "Eco-friendly ZnO nanoparticles;", "[SDV.MP] Life Sciences [q-bio]/Microbiology and Parasitology", "Analytical chemistry", "Sensor"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5084742"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Talanta%20Open", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.2139/ssrn.5084742", "name": "item", "description": "10.2139/ssrn.5084742", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.2139/ssrn.5084742"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1021/acs.est.3c01816", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-06-24T16:18:03Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2023-09-08", "title": "Effects of Climate Change on Soil Organic Matter C and H Isotope Composition in a Mediterranean Savannah (Dehesa): An Assessment Using Py-CSIA", "description": "Dehesas are Mediterranean agro-sylvo-pastoral systems sensitive to climate change. Extreme climate conditions forecasted for Mediterranean areas may change soil C turnover, which is of relevance for soil biogeochemistry modeling. The effect of climate change on soil organic matter (SOM) is investigated in a field experiment mimicking environmental conditions of global change scenarios (soil temperature increase, +2-3 \u00b0C, W; rainfall exclusion, 30%, D; a combination of both, W+D). Pyrolysis-compound-specific isotope analysis (Py-CSIA) is used for C and H isotope characterization of SOM compounds and to forecast trends exerted by the induced climate shift.

Observed short- and mid-chain n-alkane \u03b413C shifts point to an increased microbial SOM reworking in the W treatment; a 2H enrichment of up to 40\u2030 of lignin methoxyphenols was found when combining W+D treatments under the tree canopy, probably related to H fractionation due to increased soil water evapotranspiration.

In a fire, timber\u2014a natural polymer\u2014degrades in the thermochemical process of charring, causing it to lose structural strength. In spite of significant research on the physics of charring, the chemical kinetics\u2014reactions and kinetic parameters for pyrolysis and oxidation\u2014remains a scientific challenge to model accurately. Current kinetic models are either computationally too expensive or neglect key chemical pathways. Here we derive a new appropriate kinetic model for fire science at the microscale using a novel methodology. First, we built a kinetic model for each component of timber (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) from literature studies and experiments of the components. Then, we combined these three models into one kinetic model (8 reactions, 8 chemical species) for timber. This approach accounts for chemical differences among timber species. However, the timber model is only able to reproduce the trend in the experiments when literature parameters are used. Using multi-objective inverse modelling, we extract a new set of optimised kinetic parameters from 16 high-quality experiments from the literature. The novel optimised kinetic model is able to reproduce these 16 and a further 64 (blind predictions) experiments nearly within the experimental uncertainty, spanning different heating rates (1\u201360\u2009K/min), oxygen concentrations (0\u201360 %), and even isothermal experiments (220\u2013300\u2009\u00b0C). Furthermore, the model outperforms current kinetic models for fire science in accuracy across a wide range of conditions without an increase in complexity. Incorporated into a model of heat and mass transfer, this new and optmised kinetic model could improve the understanding of timber burning and has the potenial to lead to safer designs of timber buildings.", "keywords": ["Technology", "Engineering", " Chemical", "Energy & Fuels", "THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS", "Charring", "0904 Chemical Engineering", "Chemical", "Timber", "02 engineering and technology", "WOOD", "7.

In the Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum and non-accumulator Solanum melongena, the role of these organic ligands in the accumulation and detoxification mechanisms of Cd are debated. In this study, we used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to investigate Cd speciation in these plants (roots, stem, leaves) and in the soils used for their culture to unravel the plants responses to Cd exposure. The results show that Cd in the 100\u00a0mg\u00a0kg-1 Cd-doped clayey loam soil is sorbed onto iron oxyhydroxides. In both S.\u00a0nigrum and S.\u00a0melongena, Cd in roots and fresh leaves is mainly bound to thiol ligands, with a small contribution of inorganic S ligands in S.\u00a0nigrum leaves. We interpret the Cd binding to sulfur ligands as detoxification mechanisms, possibly involving the sequestration of Cd complexed with glutathione or phytochelatins in the plant vacuoles. In the stems, results show an increase binding of Cd to -O ligands (>50% for S.\u00a0nigrum).

The analyses were carried out on a mixture of 30 PFAS, including both regulated and unknown substances (which are expected to be introduced in the guidelines), characterized by different chemical features, using LC-vials of two different materials, namely, glass and polypropylene, and dissolved in two solvents, namely, water and water-methanol. The temperature of analysis and the concentration of PFAS were also considered through LC-MS analyses at different times, in the 0-15 h range.

Twenty-four hours' deployment time was suitable for most of the studied elements. However, short deployment led to insufficient element accumulation or non-establishment of steady state while long deployment (from 18 to 144\u202fh depending on the element) led to saturation of the binding gels and/or competing effects with other major elements. In addition, this study showed that the matrix of the digested sewage sludge lowers the accumulation of some trace elements in the DGT samplers, leading to labile concentrations underestimation of roughly 10-30% (depending on the element). Moreover, compared to the conventional total dissolved elements measurement, DGT technique allowed to quantify 7 out of 12 labile elements whereas only 3 out of 12 dissolved elements were quantified.

In this paper, two approaches are adopted to describe centrifuge test outcomes for tunnelling in dry silica sand of varying relative density. Firstly, empirical expressions for the prediction of settlement trough shape and magnitude are presented; additionally, a set of equations is given to describe the settlement troughs using modified Gaussian curves. Next, semi-analytical expressions (modifying an elastic analytical solution for incompressible soil and ovalized tunnel) are developed to predict both vertical and horizontal movements within the ground. Results from both methods can capture the main effects that cover-to-diameter ratio, relative density, and volume loss have on surface and subsurface ground movement profiles.

Under the same conditions, phloroglucinol and 2-mercaptoethanol led to a reaction equilibrium with significantly lower conversion yields. Application to commercial tannin extracts showed that a menthofuran-to-extract weight ratio of 1 gave the same yields of procyanidin constitutive units as 10-fold higher molecular equivalent phloroglucinol and 100-fold 2-mercaptoethanol. Finally, guidelines for implementing the menthofuran depolymerization method are proposed to assess the tannin content and composition of extracts as well as of plant materials without prior extraction.", "keywords": ["[CHIM.ANAL] Chemical Sciences/Analytical chemistry", "m\u00e9thode analytique", "Ing\u00e9nierie des aliments", "Menthofuran", "Analytical method", "01 natural sciences", "Catechin", "Chemistry Techniques", " Analytical", "Polymerization", "[CHIM.ANAL]Chemical Sciences/Analytical chemistry", "Food engineering", "Biflavonoids", "Condensed tannins", "Proanthocyanidins", "tanin", "Plant Extracts", "UHPLC-DAD-MS", "540", "6.

However, data on the interplay between root hairs and open-field systems, under contrasting soils and climate conditions, are limited. As such, this study aims to experimentally elucidate some of the impacts that root hairs have on plant performance on a field scale.</p>Methods<p>A field experiment was set up in Scotland for two consecutive years, under contrasting climate conditions and different soil textures (i.e. clay loam vs. sandy loam). Five barley (Hordeum vulgare) genotypes exhibiting variation in root hair length and density were used in the study. Root hair length, density and rhizosheath weight were measured at several growth stages, as well as shoot biomass, plant water status, shoot phosphorus (P) accumulation and grain yield.</p>Key Results<p>Measurements of root hair density, length and its correlation with rhizosheath weight highlighted trait robustness in the field under variable environmental conditions, although significant variations were found between soil textures as the growing season progressed. Root hairs did not confer a notable advantage to barley under optimal conditions, but under soil water deficit root hairs enhanced plant water status and stress tolerance resulting in a less negative leaf water potential and lower leaf abscisic acid concentration, while promoting shoot P accumulation. Furthermore, the presence of root hairs did not decrease yield under optimal conditions, while root hairs enhanced yield stability under drought.</p>Conclusions<p>Selecting for beneficial root hair traits can enhance yield stability without diminishing yield potential, overcoming the breeder\uffe2\uff80\uff99s dilemma of trying to simultaneously enhance both productivity and resilience.

Limit state methods provide a poor physical representation of the fundamental mechanisms that give rise to seismic earth pressures, which depend on relative wall\u2013soil displacements. Such displacements are a consequence of soil\u2013structure interaction, which, in the absence of a strong inertial component (e.g. from a connected structure), are mainly sensitive to the ratio of wavelength-to-wall height and relative wall-to-soil flexibility. We present a simplified single-frequency procedure for computing seismic earth pressures applied to flexible retaining structures by vertically propagating shear waves. The procedure accounts for the first-order wavelength and wall flexibility effects while simplifying a number of secondary effects in a manner that produces a slightly conservative outcome. Input parameters to the proposed solution are readily attainable for engineering design applications. For typical earth retention systems, earth pressures computed using the proposed procedure are lower than those computed using limit state solutions.

Using predicted yields and covariance between varieties through different weather scenarios, we performed portfolio optimisation.

Land Suitability Analysis (LSA) is used to measure the level of suitability of growing a specific crop in the area and can also be used to evaluate future scenarios as a means for sustainable agriculture. LSA was employed to calculate current land suitability, as well as four scenarios of Soil-Improving Cropping Systems (SICS): (a) Conservation Tillage (CT), (b) Cover Crop (CC), (c) Crop Residue Management (CRM), and (d) Manure Application (MA). The scenarios of SICS were derived by increasing soil organic matter and cation exchange capacity values depending on the SICS hypothetically applied for a period of 100 years in the future. LSA was evaluated for maize in three sites: (a) Flanders (BE), (b) Somogy (HU), and (c) Hengshui (CH). LSA was performed using the Agricultural Land Use Evaluation System (ALUES) considering soil and climatic and topographic parameters. Weighing factors of input parameters were assigned using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results show that in Flanders, the highly suitable (S2) class covered 3.3% of the total area, and the best scenario for improving current LS was CRM, in which S2 expanded to 9.1%. In Somogy, the S2 class covered 18.3% of the total area, and the best scenarios for improving current land suitability were CT and CC, in both of which the S2 class expanded to 70.5% of the total area. In Hengshui, the S2 class covered 64.7% of the total area, and all SICS scenarios performed extremely well, converting almost all moderately suitable (S3) areas to S2. The main limiting factor that was recognized from a limiting factor analysis in all cases was the climatic conditions. This work proves that LSA can evaluate scenarios of management practices and recognize limiting factors. The proposed methodology is a novel approach that can provide land suitability maps to efficiently evaluate SICS scenarios by projecting soil characteristics and LSA in the future, thus facilitating management decisions of regional policy makers.</p></article>", "keywords": ["IMPACT", "AHP", "Environmental Studies", "land use planning", "Environmental Sciences & Ecology", "3301 Architecture", "01 natural sciences", "4104 Environmental management", "CARBON SEQUESTRATION", "AGROECOLOGY", "MANAGEMENT", "BINH THUAN PROVINCE", "0502 Environmental Science and Management", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "2.

This report describes the tool ParetoPick-R, including how to run it, its data input requirements and the processes it employs. ParetoPick-R allows (1) to make the complex optimisation outputs understandable through various intuitive visualisation techniques, including for the links between the objective space and the decision space of Natural/Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRM) implementation plans. (2) It implements a methodology for reducing the high number of solutions from the previous optimisation to a manageable number while reducing information loss, and (3) allows to perform an Analytical Hierarchy Process for stakeholders to assign priorities based on pairwise preferences in a structured manner.

The analyses were carried out on a mixture of 30 PFAS, including both regulated and unknown substances (which are expected to be introduced in the guidelines), characterized by different chemical features, using LC-vials of two different materials, namely, glass and polypropylene, and dissolved in two solvents, namely, water and water-methanol. The temperature of analysis and the concentration of PFAS were also considered through LC-MS analyses at different times, in the 0-15 h range. Depending on the chemical structure and length of the PFAS, sampling and treatment procedures may be adopted to tackle the decrease and the release from the containers, reducing the risk of underestimating PFAS also in real water matrices.", "keywords": ["pfas; mass spectrometry; adsorption; drinking water; containers", "QD71-142", "Analytical chemistry"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.uniroma1.it/bitstream/11573/1696744/1/Mancini_Evaluation_2023.pdf"}, {"href": "https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsmeasuresciau.3c00027"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/11573/1696744"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/ACS%20Measurement%20Science%20Au", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "11573/1696744", "name": "item", "description": "11573/1696744", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/11573/1696744"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-09-07T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10259/7490", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-06-24T16:25:28Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2022-10-19", "title": "Comparative toxicological assessment of three soils polluted with different levels of hydrocarbons and heavy metals using in vitro and in vivo approaches", "description": "The biological effects induced by the pollutants present in soils, together with the chemical and physical characterizations, are good indicators to provide a general overview of their quality.

In this work, a factorial field experiment was established, where three climatic treatments (W, warming; D, drought; W\u00a0+\u00a0D, warming + drought), mimicking future climate change scenarios were installed over five years in a Mediterranean savannah 'dehesa', accounting for its landscape diversity (under the tree canopy and in open grassland). A combination of analytical pyrolysis (Py-GC/MS) and the study of biogeochemical proxies based on lignin monomers is used for the direct detection of lignin-derived phenols and to infer possible shifts in lignin dynamics in soil. A total of 27 main lignin-derived methoxyphenols were identified, exhibiting different patterns and proportions, mainly driven by the effect of habitat, hence biomass inputs to SOM. An accelerated decomposition of lignin moieties -(exhibited by higher LG/LS and Al/K\u00a0+\u00a0Ac ratios)- is particularly exacerbated by the effect of all climatic treatments. There is also an overall effect on increasing lignin oxidation of side chain in syringyl units, especially under the tree canopy due to the alteration in biomass degradation and potential stimulation of enzyme activities. Conversely, in open grassland these effects are slower since the microbial community is expected to be already adapted to harsher conditions.

Limit state methods provide a poor physical representation of the fundamental mechanisms that give rise to seismic earth pressures, which depend on relative wall\u2013soil displacements. Such displacements are a consequence of soil\u2013structure interaction, which, in the absence of a strong inertial component (e.g. from a connected structure), are mainly sensitive to the ratio of wavelength-to-wall height and relative wall-to-soil flexibility. We present a simplified single-frequency procedure for computing seismic earth pressures applied to flexible retaining structures by vertically propagating shear waves. The procedure accounts for the first-order wavelength and wall flexibility effects while simplifying a number of secondary effects in a manner that produces a slightly conservative outcome. Input parameters to the proposed solution are readily attainable for engineering design applications. For typical earth retention systems, earth pressures computed using the proposed procedure are lower than those computed using limit state solutions.

This paper proposes the use of these types of spaces and their integration as practical activities into the curricula of technological subjects. This approach will allow us to achieve two fundamental objectives: (1) To improve the academic results (grades) of students; and (2) to increase engagement and interest of students in the studied technologies, including IoT devices. These platforms are modeled using archetypes based on different typologies and usage scenarios. In particular, these usage scenarios will implement a learning strategy for each problem to be solved. The current work shows the evolution of these archetypes and their application in the teaching of disciplines/subjects defined in computer science, such as distributed computing and cybersecurity.</p></article>", "keywords": ["learning analytics", "Technology", "9.

However, data on the interplay between root hairs and open-field systems, under contrasting soils and climate conditions, are limited. As such, this study aims to experimentally elucidate some of the impacts that root hairs have on plant performance on a field scale.</p>Methods<p>A field experiment was set up in Scotland for two consecutive years, under contrasting climate conditions and different soil textures (i.e. clay loam vs. sandy loam). Five barley (Hordeum vulgare) genotypes exhibiting variation in root hair length and density were used in the study. Root hair length, density and rhizosheath weight were measured at several growth stages, as well as shoot biomass, plant water status, shoot phosphorus (P) accumulation and grain yield.</p>Key Results<p>Measurements of root hair density, length and its correlation with rhizosheath weight highlighted trait robustness in the field under variable environmental conditions, although significant variations were found between soil textures as the growing season progressed. Root hairs did not confer a notable advantage to barley under optimal conditions, but under soil water deficit root hairs enhanced plant water status and stress tolerance resulting in a less negative leaf water potential and lower leaf abscisic acid concentration, while promoting shoot P accumulation. Furthermore, the presence of root hairs did not decrease yield under optimal conditions, while root hairs enhanced yield stability under drought.</p>Conclusions<p>Selecting for beneficial root hair traits can enhance yield stability without diminishing yield potential, overcoming the breeder\uffe2\uff80\uff99s dilemma of trying to simultaneously enhance both productivity and resilience. Therefore, the maintenance or enhancement of root hairs can represent a key trait for breeding the next generation of crops for improved drought tolerance in relation to climate change.</p", "keywords": ["construction", "0301 basic medicine", "EP/M020355/1", "Supplementary Data", "QH301 Biology", "drought tolerance", "/dk/atira/pure/subjectarea/asjc/1100/1110", "610", "Rural and Environmental Science and Analytical Services (RESAS)", "Plant Roots", "630", "root hairs", "QH301", "Soil", "03 medical and health sciences", "646809DIMR", "agricultural sustainability", "SDG 13 - Climate Action", "BB/L025620/1", "rhizosheath", "phosphorus", "NE/L00237/1", "Hordeum vulgare", "580", "2.

We extracted the knowledge about 174 varieties from the dataset, which contained information about weather, soil, yield and regional statistical parameters. Next, we predicted the yield of each variety in each of 6,490 observed subregions of the Midwest. Furthermore, yield was predicted for all the possible weather scenarios approximated by 15 historical weather instances contained in the dataset. Using predicted yields and covariance between varieties through different weather scenarios, we performed portfolio optimisation. In this way, for each subregion, we obtained a selection of varieties, that proved superior to others in terms of the amount and stability of yield. According to the rules of Syngenta Crop Challenge, for which this research was conducted, we aggregated the results across all subregions and selected up to five soybean varieties that should be distributed across the network of seed retailers.
