New approach to soil management focusing on soil health and air quality: one earth one life (critical review).

Soil plays a key role in ecosphere and air quality regulation. Obsolete environmental technologies lead to soil quality loss, air, water, and land systems pollution. Pedosphere and plants are intertwined with the air quality.

Thermodynamic mathematical model of the Kastanozem complex and new principles of sustainable semiarid protective silviculture management.

The Kastanozem complex in the dry steppe of southern Russia underlies an artificially-constructed forest strips. Deep ploughing to a depth of 45 cm was used to process the soil prior to planting. Between 20 and 40 cm depth, soil density was high, 1.

Comparative in vitro study of the effectiveness of nanosecond electrical pulse and laser lithotripters.

A comparative in vitro research of the efficiency of nanosecond electropulse (Urolit-105M) and Holmium laser (Auriga) lithotripters is presented in this work. Four sizes of BegoStone cement stones of various densities were fabricated for these tests. A comparison of the efficiency of the lithotripters was performed in the experiments on pairs of probes corresponding to a predetermined stone size.
