Performance and Exergy Loss Analysis for a Single Slope Solar Still Using PMMA
Abstract: A solar still constructed using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) represents an improved approach to solar desalination, in which conventional materials such as metal or concrete are substituted or reinforced with PMMA- based composites PMMA sheets are often used as the transparent glazing cover of the solar still instead of glass. It allows maximum solar radiation to pass into the basin, heating the saline/brackish water effectively. A tubular solar still made from …

Mystery of Grass milk: A Deeper Dive into Quality, Quantity and Economics of Grass-milk in Dairy Cows
Abstract: Consumers perceive ‘grass-fed milk’ as healthier than conventional ones since grass-fed milk contains higher levels of beneficial fatty acids and lower levels of omega-6. The study highlights the nutritional benefits of feeding green grass, in terms of quality, quantity, and farm economics emphasizing its specific influence on the fatty acid profile of milk, including enrichment of omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acids. It also delves into the environmental benefits …

Comparative Study on the Growth and Yield of Ganoderma lucidium Mushroom Cultivated on African Peach (Nauclea diderrichii) and Bush Mango (Endospermum medullosum) Sawdust as Substrates
Abstract: This study was conducted to find out which substrate provides for the best artificial development of G. lucidium. Mango (Mangifera indica) leaves were added to the saw dusts of Nauclea diderrichii and Endospermum medullosum, which were both utilized as substrates for growing. The substrates were inoculated with Ganoderma spawn and then exposed and hydrated to start the fruiting process. Three replications of the process were carried out. It was observed …
