Flushed Hybrid Bioreactor Landfill: Innovation for enhancement of rate of biogas generation and reduction in stabilization time of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste in landfill

This study demonstrates that a flushed hybrid bioreactor landfill, specifically optimized with specific operational parameters in reactor FHB3, significantly enhances biogas generation rates by 17.16% and reduces the stabilization time of organic municipal solid waste by 26.16% compared to traditional anaerobic bioreactor landfills.

Combining metabolomic platforms (LC-MS and 1H-NMR) to characterize the metabolic response to feed restriction of European and local Caribbean pigs in a tropical climate

By integrating LC-MS and 1H-NMR metabolomics, this study reveals that while both Large White and Creole pigs primarily rely on amino acid metabolism during feed restriction, the Creole breed exhibits distinct metabolic fuel preferences and muscle deposition mechanisms that likely underpin its superior adaptation to tropical environmental challenges.

Dry Season Chemical Properties and Nutrient Status of Agricultural Soils in Gopalganj District Bangladesh

This study evaluated the dry-season chemical properties and nutrient status of agricultural soils in Gopalganj District, Bangladesh, revealing that while the soils are generally suitable for cultivation, they face moderate fertility constraints due to low organic matter and insufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels.

Presumptive Campylobacter occurrence and representative molecular confirmation in poultry and fresh produce from Punjab, India

A survey of poultry and fresh produce in Punjab, India, revealed a high prevalence of presumptive *Campylobacter* contamination (48.5%) across both matrices, with molecular confirmation of representative isolates indicating the presence of *C. jejuni* and *C. coli* markers, though further genomic and resistance studies are needed to establish transmission risks.

White plastic mulch in high and low trellis improves light microclimate, growth, ecophysiological and biomass parameters, and production in hops under tropical conditions climate

This study demonstrates that using white plastic mulch in both high and low trellis systems significantly enhances light reflection, physiological performance, and biomass production of hops grown in tropical climates, thereby improving the crop's viability outside its native temperate regions.

Deep Learning-Based Soil Quality Assessment Using NIR Spectroscopy for Precision Agriculture and Sustainable Land Management

This study demonstrates that a deep learning framework combining 1D-CNN and SMOTE with NIR spectroscopy can accurately and rapidly classify soil organic matter and total carbon in northern Thailand, offering a non-destructive, high-performance alternative to conventional laboratory methods for precision agriculture and sustainable land management.

Systematic evaluation of hyperspectral imaging workflows for predicting pigment and nutrient traits in tomato leaves under varying nitrogen supply levels

This study systematically evaluated hyperspectral imaging workflows to identify optimal combinations of sample partitioning, spectral preprocessing, feature selection, and machine learning models for non-destructively predicting pigment and nutrient traits in tomato leaves, revealing that while nitrogen-related traits were reliably predicted using CNNs, chlorophyll prediction remained limited and that workflow optimization must be tailored to specific target traits.

Citric Acid-Mediated Microwave Extraction Outperforms Conventional Heating for Recovery of Antidiabetic Polysaccharides from Centella asiatica

This study demonstrates that citric acid-mediated microwave extraction (CAM-MAE) significantly outperforms conventional heating methods by rapidly yielding high-purity, high-molecular-weight polysaccharides from *Centella asiatica* with potent antidiabetic and antioxidant activities.
