Hemp cultivation faces challenges due to the adoption of dioecious cultivars, which suffer from biomass loss and fibre heterogeneity. In contrast, monoecious cultivars offer simultaneous fibre and seed production, albeit with lower fibre quality. Underst...

Drying chicken manure with exhaust air from a chicken house is a new manure management method developed in recent years. The majority of the heat for this drying method comes from the waste heat of ventilation in a poultry house or ambient air, so the dr...

Water scarcity is one of the major concerns of this century. The photocatalysis through TiO2 can be suitable for improving liquid wastewater treatment. However, TiO2 is used as a powder (nanoparticles), which is a drawback for full-scale applications. To...

Prolonged drying times of terry fabrics is a problem as they can not be re-used until completely dry. To resolve this issue, we have designed a sandwich polyester in the mid-layer with low moisture content that could reduce the drying time with excellent...
