Since ancient times, maritime transportation has played a very important role for the global trade and economy of many countries.The volumes of all major types of cargo, which are transported by vessels, has substantially increased in recent years.Considering a rapid growth of waterborne trade, marine container terminal operators should focus on up
Backyard chicken production is an integral part among rural families in the tropics like the Philippines.However, it has been declining as it continues to suffer low productivity with its small-scale operations.Among its production inputs, feeds remain to be the top cost driver, as well as the top contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that
Industrial development and urbanization has led to the diverse presence of metals in wastewater that are often improperly treated.The microalgae Euglena gracilis can tolerate high concentrations of metal via the excretion of organic metabolites, including phenolics.This study aims to evaluate how carbon amendment stimulates phenolic compound produc
The excessive drag/torque and the backing pressure is an important factor that restricts the improvement of the penetration rate and the extension of the drilling in the sliding drilling process of extended-reach wells and horizontal wells.To deal with this problem, this paper developed a novel controllable hybrid steering drilling system (CHSDS) b
Tropical seagrass meadows and coral reefs often function as interconnected marine habitats, but they are often studied and managed as homogenous units.As MSM 1000MG macrohabitats, seagrass meadows provide important benefits to adjacent reef ecosystems by acting as natural filters of sediments and nutrients, and by providing critical feeding, nurser
