In this study, we present an innovation method to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles colloidal solution by Zn2+ precipitation, and using COS and COS-I2 as a stabilizer agent to replace high molecular weight chitosan in previous studies. [17,18,24] It was favorable due to COS with small Mw did not precipitate at alkaline pH. Thus, ZnO/COS and ZnO/COS-I2 composite nanomaterials were prepared in this work will be oriented to use as antimicrobial agrochemicals, and post-harvest preservation.

Microalgal harvesting has still been a challenge to investigators who take their investiment into microalgal production. The cost for microalgal downstream processing is as high as 20% of the total production of biodiesel. Among hundreds of curent methods of biomass harvesting, autoflocculation and bacteria-based aggregation are still being researched and applied in large-scale producuion.

The Siraha district of Nepal experiences surplus mango production during the season that ends up being wasted or sold at throw-away prices due to imperfect marketing. Thus, this survey research was conducted to investigate the market channels of mango, post-harvest mechanisms, constraints, marketing margins, market shares, consumer purchasing behaviors, and patterns of purchasing in Siraha.

The study "Assessing the status of mechanization and proposing technical solutions for lime farming in the Mekong River Delta" was conducted to assess the current status of mechanization in lime growing activities of farmer households in the Mekong River Delta. The current status of mechanization was assessed through different groups of criteria that reflect the scale of mechanization level, resources of farmers applying mechanization, results, and production efficiency.

The power generated by the coupled system from the non-linear impact is sensitive to the thickness ratio of the beams and the clearance. The variation in thickness ratio alters the spacing of the natural frequencies of the system which causes modes to interact. This study shows that higher power is produced than the linear system, depending on the dissimilarity in the mode shapes of the interacting close modes.

This paper focuses on vibration mitigation and energy harvesting in a coupled oscillator-pendulum system. Generally, the concept of a vibration-based energy harvester is similar to a vibration absorber, it is naturally desired to use the same system for simultaneous vibration reduction and energy recovery.

Phenmedipham is an herbicide used especially in the sugar beet harvest to fight against broad-leaved weeds and studies of its voltammetric behavior and detection have not been done before. The superior properties of carbon nanotubes such as electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and wide potential ranges make them attractive for chemical sensors and the phenmedipham compound gave an oxidation peak at +1320 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) on the nanostructured multiwalled carbon nanotube paste electrode.

Atlantic salmon production in Tasmania (Southern Australia) occurs near the upper limits of the species thermal tolerance. Summer water temperatures can average over 19 °C over several weeks and have negative effects on performance and health. Liver tissue exerts important metabolic functions in thermal adaptation. With the aim of identifying mechanisms underlying liver plasticity in response to chronic elevated temperature in Atlantic salmon, label-free shotgun proteomics was used to explore quantitative protein changes after 43 days of exposure to elevated temperature.

Fine mapping of the BnUC2 locus related to leaf up-curling and plant semi-dwarfing in Brassica napus
Studies of leaf shape development and plant stature have made important contributions to the fields of plant breeding and developmental biology. The optimization of leaf morphology and plant height to improve lodging resistance and photosynthetic efficiency, increase planting density and yield, and facilitate mechanized harvesting is a desirable goal in Brassica napus.

Correlation and path analysis was worked out among thirty chickpea genotypes with three replications under both rainfed and irrigated conditions utilising yield, drought tolerant traits and mechanical harvestable traits during rabi, 2018 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Nandyal, Andhra Pradesh, India. Biological yield per plot and harvest index exhibited significant positive correlation with seed yield and drought tolerance index. 100 seed weight and number of pods per plant also contributed positively to DTI and seed yield under rainfed conditions.

Manual harvesting of paddy is more time consuming and has become a costly operation. Hence there is a need for mechanization of harvesting, at present the available machinery for harvesting are large in size and expensive and are not reaching the small scale farmers. The rotary type cutting mechanism has been developed with the proper transmission system by using the knapsack power sprayer engine as a prime source.

Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the most versatile emerging cereal crops having wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Pre and post harvesting operations are the most labour intensive operations that are presently done manually in India and need to be mechanized. The physical properties of seeds play an important role for designing seed metering device.
