Animal manure improves soil fertility and organic carbon, but long-term deposition may contribute to antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) entering the soil-water environment.Additionally, long-term impacts of applying animal manure to soil on the soil-water microbiome, a crucial factor in soil health and fertility, are not well understood.The aim of
Governing Carbon Mitigation and Climate Change within Local Councils: A Case Study of Adelaide, South Australia
There is growing concern about climate change impacts on local government areas.In Australia, the federal carbon tax (from 1 July 2012) will also increase costs for local councils.This paper evaluates what carbon mitigation (i.e.energy, water, and waste management) actions have been implemented by metropolitan Bullet Pouches Adelaide councils (n=14
A Neuron-Based Kalman Filter with Nonlinear Autoregressive Model
The control effect of various intelligent terminals is affected by the data sensing precision.The filtering method has been the typical soft computing method used to promote the sensing level.Due to the difficult recognition of the practical system and the empirical Twin Upholstered Headboard parameter estimation in the traditional Kalman filter, a
Building Science Teacher Leaders for Indigenous Schools: Lessons from a Science Professional Development Workshop in Nepal
This is a case study of a science professional development workshop in Nepal with 17 teacher participants from four public schools.These schools mainly served Indigenous students in elementary, middle, and high school (Grades 9 and 10).The workshop focused on educating and building science teacher leaders for culturally relevant teaching and antira
The Role of Chemical Activation in Strengthening Iron Ore Tailings Supplementary Cementitious Materials
The preparation of iron ore tailings (IOTs) into supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is an effective approach to achieve value-added utilization of industrial solid waste.This study systematically investigates the hydration pattern and strength development of Portland cement systems with the incorporation of IOTs, steel slag (SS), granulate
