Growing food shortage encourage businesses to increase yields, mainly through extensive capacity building.However, this path often leads to a negative impact on the environment and does not consider social issues.Increasing yields requires the implementation of strategies for sustainable agricultural development and intensification of production.Se
Theoretical analysis and parametric investigation of an innovative helical air gap membrane desalination system
Abstract A helical air gap membrane desalination (HAGMD) system is designed in the present study.The condenser is designed as a cylindrical shape with helical fins machined on the outer surface of a hollow copper condenser.A detailed theoretical model, studying heat and mass transfer in the HAGMD module, was developed.The theoretical model for a cy
Recycling in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age: evidence of flint recycling at Ein-Zippori, Israel
This paper presents a new techno-typological analysis of a sample of small flakes that were produced through recycling from discarded blanks at the Late Neolithic and Early Cart - Jinker Bronze Age site of Ein-Zippori, Lower Galilee, Israel.This study shows that the systematic production of small flakes from previously discarded blanks was not rela
Effect of Plant Characteristics and Within-Plant Distribution of Prey on Colonization Efficiency of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Adults
Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has been widely used in classical and inundative biological control of mealybugs, including the long-tailed mealybug, Pseudococcus longispinus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae).This study was conducted Test Boards to investigate colonization and establishment efficiency of C.montrouzieri to manage P.l
Analysis of Diesel Knock for High-Altitude Heavy-Duty Engines Using Optical Rapid Compression Machines
In high altitude regions, affected by the low-pressure and low-temperature atmosphere, diesel knock is likely to be encountered in heavy-duty engines operating at low-speed and high-load conditions.Pressure oscillations during diesel knock are commonly captured by pressure transducers, while there is a lack of direct evidence and visualization imag
