Effects of Biochar on Soil Organic Carbon Stability in Degraded Alpine Grasslands—A Study on Arid Regions in Central Asia by Yunpeng Hu, Maidinuer Abulaizi, Yuxin Tian, Yang Hu, Mo Chen, Keyi Li, Yuanbin Jia, Tianle Kou, Jianqin Zhou, Hongtao Jia

“…The addition of biochar decreased the stability of the soil carbon pools, but the stability of the soil carbon pools increased with time. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that changes in biochar application and particle size would indirectly affect the stability of soil carbon pools by influencing soil and plant indicators, while changes in electrical conductivity (EC) were the key factors influencing the changes of soil carbon pools in degraded LD and SD grasslands. …”

Enhanced Luminescence and Thermal Stability in High Gd³⁺/Eu³⁺ Co-Doped Ba₃Y₄O₉ Phosphors via Co-Precipitation Method by Dong Zhu, Chunfeng Wang, Xiaohuai Wang, Shun Han, Yuxiang Zeng, Ming Fang, Wenjun Liu, Deliang Zhu, Peijiang Cao, Youming Lu

“…The co-precipitation method was successfully used to synthesize Ba₃(Y_0.6−xGd_0.4Eu_x)₄O₉ (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.09) phosphors with heavy Gd³⁺ doping, resulting in significantly enhanced thermal stability and luminescence performance. Structural analyses confirm that Gd³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions substitute Y³⁺ in the lattice, causing lattice expansion and improving crystal asymmetry, which enhances Eu³⁺ emission. …”

Studying and understanding the architectural ornamentations of residential buildings in the historical city of Masouleh by Saeid Hasanpour Loumer, Ahad Nejad Ebrahimi, Hassan Sattari Sarbangholi, Ali Vandshoari

“…The results also show that the main factors influencing the formation of decorations on residential buildings in Masouleh are for enhancing security (doors), reducing structural pressures against wind and earthquake (domes), meeting spatial lighting needs (windows), increasing safety, creating green spaces and seasonal employment spaces (railings), meeting user needs for facilitating and enhancing user well-being in contemporary times, and eliminating the undesirable appearance of electronic equipment (bell covers and electrical meter boxes) derived from religious and cultural beliefs (floral motifs) stemming from people's interest in flowers and plants and being influenced by the geography of Gilan Province (floral decorations), as well as rooted in the religious and ritual beliefs of the people of Masouleh.…”

Ultrasound Pretreatment Prior to Hot Air Drying and Intermittent Microwave Drying of Apple Slices: Effect of Acoustic Density and Microwave Power by Fadime Begüm Tepe, Tolga Kağan Tepe

“…Rehydration ratio was positively influenced by US pretreatment at lower temperatures but was adversely affected at higher temperatures and higher microwave power levels due to structural damage. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were preserved or enhanced by microwave drying, whereas US pretreatment showed no clear benefit and, in some cases, led to degradation, likely due to prolonged sonication and water immersion. …”
