Highlights• Effects of manure-derived pellets on raspberry performance were evaluated• Composted, blended, and pelletized manure (CBP) did not compromise plant performance relative to urea• CBP enhanced berry weight• CBP increased leaf magnesium concentration• CBP has the potential to...

Accumulation of cadmium in rice planted in Cd-contaminated soil could cause a severe toxicant impact on humans. A negative influence on Cd absorption of rice was found by hydrochar (HC) addition, which was reported more nutrient and lower phytotoxicity through nitric acid aging. However, there...

The formation of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) is always associated with the valence changes of transition metals. The crystalline structures of metal oxides and the role of degradation byproducts in the formation and stabilization of EPFRs have not been fully addressed. In...

Microplastics (MPs) have attracted increasing concern as emerging contaminants of global importance in recent years. Soil is considered an important sink for MPs. Due to environmental weathering, MP surfaces are often charged, but there are limited studies on the interaction of differentially...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to report the design and implementation of the enhanced participant-driven photo elicitation method in a qualitative interview study, to assess the performance of the method to investigate a research topic in everyday life health information behaviour and...

Internet of Things (IoT) devices create new ways through which personal data is collected and processed by service providers. Frequently, end users have little awareness of, and even less control over, these devices’ data collection. IoT Personalized Privacy Assistants (PPAs) can help overcome...
