A 3-factor experiment with 24-d vegetation of Brassica chinensis L. crops demonstrated the dependence of dry mass yield on lighting regimes provided by a lamp composed of white (color temperature 4000 K) and red (660 nm) LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Experimental data were used to build regressive dependences of plant dry mass and optimal light criterion (product of dry mass and photosynthesis efficiency) on 3 LEDs lamp parameters: photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), red and white PPFD ratio, and pulse period. The following LEDs light parameters were found to be optimal for the Chinese cabbage: time-averaged PFD - 500.μmol/(m².s), red and white PPFD ratio - 1.5 and pulse period - 501 ps. Considering the wattage rating for projectible vitamin greenhouse Vitacycle-To, continuous light should have PPFD = 430 pmol/(m²-s), rPPFD/wPPFD ratio - 1.5 and continuous light.

The human body is composed mostly of water fortified by a variety of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, all organized into an elegant structurally complex and functionally efficient machine in which our consciousness resides. This heterogeneous assemblage of essential ingredients is enclosed in a container known as the integument, or simply, the skin. The container is as important as its contents; when itself devoid of structural and functional integrity, it will both leak as well as become infused with potentially harmful external agents.

Extensive grazing carried out freely by exotic goats represents an important source of anthropogenic degradation in seasonally dry tropical forests of Brazil. The presence of these herbivores may negatively impact the local fauna through the reduction of habitat complexity. In this study, we investigate the effect of goat farming in scorpion assemblage from Brazilian seasonally dry tropical forest.

The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is a saprophagous insect known for bioconverting organic waste, potentially offering environmental benefits, such as contributing to waste reduction and nutrient cycling. The performance of larvae varies significantly with factors substrate moisture, larval density, and scale of production. Three experiments were conducted using a mix of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and chicken feed (CF).

In order to study the durability of solidified waste mud, dry-wet cycle experiments were carried out under the erosion of sodium chloride solutions with different concentrations. The unconfined compressive strength and mass change rate of solidified mud were studied and analyzed. The results show that when the number of dry-wet cycles increases, the unconfined compressive strength and mass of the sample show a downward trend.

The aim of this study was to investigate the associations among in-water vertical jump and various dry-land physical measures by taking the law of Archimedes into consideration, and by normalizing the dry-land measures both to body density and body mass. Seventeen elite water polo players from Hungarian first league were tested for dry-land counter movement and squat jump mechanical impulse, isometric squat force, and in-water vertical jump height. Body density was estimated by anthropometric measurements.
