A hybrid technique to enhance the rainfall-runoff prediction of physical and data-driven model: a case study of Upper Narmada River Sub-basin, India.

Accurate streamflow prediction is crucial for effective water resource management and planning. This study aims to enhance streamflow simulation accuracy in the data-scarce Upper Narmada River Basin (UNB) by proposing a novel hybrid approach, ANN, which combines a physically-based model (WEAP) with a data-driven model (ANN). The WEAP model was calibrated and validated using observed streamflow data, while the ANN model was trained and tested using meteorological variables and simulated streamflow.

Water volumes and mulches affect plant growth, leaf nutrient status and orchard soil mineral content of sweet orange cv. Mosambi.

Day-by-day increasing irrigation water scarcity requires the application of water-saving irrigation techniques to sustain agriculture production. A two-year field investigation was conducted during 2018 to 2020 to determine the effects of various mulches and irrigation volumes on the growth, leaf chemicals and soil properties of one-year-old sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis) cv. Mosambi.

Synergistic metal halide perovskite@metal-organic framework hybrids for photocatalytic CO reduction.

The photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) into multi-electron carbon products remains challenging due to the inherent stability of CO and slow multi-electron transfer kinetics. Here in, we synthesized a hybrid material, cesium copper halide (CsCuI) intercalated onto two-dimensional (2D) cobalt-based zeolite framework (ZIF-9-III) nanosheets (denoted as CsCuI@ZIF-1) through a simple mechanochemical grinding. The synergy in the hybrid effectively reduces CO to carbon monoxide (CO) at 110 μmol/g/h and methane at 5 μmol/g/h with high selectivity, suppressing hydrogen evolution.

Optimizing crop quality and yield: Assessing the impact of integrated potassium management on Chinese cabbage ( L. subsp. ).

Potassium, a pivotal macronutrient essential for growth, development, and crop yield, serves as a critical determinant of soil productivity. Its depletion disrupts the equilibrium of soil nutrients, prompting an investigation into integrated potassium management strategies to address this challenge. A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2020 using a randomized complete block design, with eight treatments, each replicated three times in Chinese cabbage ( L.

Unlocking growth potential: Synergistic potassium fertilization for enhanced yield, nutrient uptake, and energy fractions in Chinese cabbage.

The implementation of integrated potassium management presents a viable approach for augmenting plant growth, yield, and nutrient uptake while enhancing soil nutrient availability. A field experiment was executed during the rabi season of 2020, employing a randomized complete block design encompassing eight treatments involving standard (100%) and reduced (75% and 50%) rates of the recommended dose of potassium (RDK) administered through muriate of potash (MOP). Treatments included variations in the incorporation/exclusion of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), farmyard manure (FYM) at 25% of potassium recommendation, and foliar application of nano potash.

Laparoscopic Versus Open Ventral Hernia Repair: Experience at a Tertiary Care Center in Western Rajasthan.

Background Ventral hernias are the second most common type of hernias accounting for 21-35% of all hernia types. Ventral hernia includes incisional, umbilical, epigastric, and Spigelian hernias, among others. Currently, patients and surgeons prefer laparoscopic repair of ventral hernias.

Environmental aspects of wastewater reclamation.

The population is increasing rapidly and the demand for water by cities, industries and agriculture has tended to grow even faster than the population. Wastewater reclamation consists of a combination of conventional and advanced treatment processes employed to return a wastewater to nearly original quality, reclaiming the water. The environmental health aspects associated with reclamation of wastewater include quality aspects and public health aspects.
