BACKGROUND: Manual screening of a Kato-Katz (KK) thick stool smear remains the current standard to monitor the impact of large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). To improve this diagnostic standard, we recently design...
This paper delves into the engineering applications of lime-stabilized red clay, a highly water-sensitive material, particularly in the context of the climatic conditions prevalent in the Dalian region. We systematically investigate the impact of wat...
This study develops a hybrid machine learning (ML) algorithm integrated with IoT technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of soil monitoring and tomato crop disease prediction in Anakapalle, a south Indian station. An IoT device collected on...
BACKGROUND: Conventional microscopy of Kato-Katz (KK1.0) thick smears, the primary method for diagnosing soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, has limited sensitivity and is error-prone. Artificial intelligence-based digital pathology (AI-DP) m...
The biogeochemical cycling of sulfur (S) in paddy soil influences cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) migration. However, the impact of S application on Cd and As within the soil-rice system has not been fully explored. This study aimed to examine the effe...
Soil heavy metal pollution in mining areas poses severe challenges to the ecological environment. In recent years, machine learning has been widely used in heavy metal inversion by hyperspectral data. However, deterministic algorithms and probabilist...
Although composting has many advantages in treating organic waste, many problems and challenges are still associated with emissions, like NH, CO and HS, as well as greenhouse gases such as CO. One promising approach to enhancing composting conditions...
Micro/nano plastics (M/NPs) and antibiotics, as widely coexisting pollutants in environment, pose serious threats to soil ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the ecological effects of the co-exposure of M/NPs and antib...
Karst soils often exhibit elevated zinc (Zn) levels, providing an opportunity to cultivate Zn-enriched crops. (meanwhile) However, these soils also frequently contain high background levels of toxic metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), posing potential...
Soil nitrous oxide (NO) emissions exhibit high variability in intensively managed cropping systems, which challenges our ability to understand their complex interactions with controlling factors. We leveraged 17 years (2003-2019) of measurements at t...
