Abstract:
Composting of organic wastes is a management strategy linked to circular economy models through the transformation of these wastes into an organic product, compost, which can be used as fertiliser, soil amendment or growing media. However, the concept of ‘compost quality’ is not enough defined to take a technical decision about which is its best use or application. In the last decade, different guidelines and regulations about organic fertilisers have been developed. For instance, in Spain the Fertilisers Regulation categorises compost under five kinds according to the raw materials used - org

Cocoa and coffee are important crops in the area and are managed under organic production standards, and the use of organic fertilizers is high, especially compost. For this reason, physical-chemical indicators were evaluated, and the quality of the compost produced with different inputs and marketed in the Rupa Rupa district, Huánuco-Peru region, was determined.

The organomineral compost compositions, which provide increased biometric indicators of seedlings of forest plants, are described. Compost is obtained on the basis of the secondary resources of forest and agricultural production. The compost readiness indicator, depending on the composition and composting time, is proposed. The influence of the polymer structure-forming agent of the soil on the compost quality is shown. The influence of compost composition variations on the morphometric parameters of seedlings is studied. The recommended ratios of ingredients in organomineral compost for growi

Abstract:
Landfill diversion of organic wastes through composting is making compost products available for agricultural and horticultural crops. On certified organic farms, nonsludge green waste and manure composts are widely used because the use of these products removes harvest date restrictions imposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture when raw manure is applied. We quantified several pathogens in point-of-sale composts from 94 nonsludge facilities processing 2.2 million m3 year−1 of recycled green waste. Only one compost contained Salmonella (1.8 most probable number [MPN]/4 g), 28% had fecal co

The efficient characterization of compost quality is essential for optimizing its application in agriculture and soil improvement. In this study, a correlation-based approach was employed to evaluate relationships between physicochemical properties, structural features, and reactivity indicators of compost extracts—fulvic acid-like (FA-L), humic acid-like (HA-L), and dissolved organic matter (DOM)—and their respective bulk composts. The goal was to identify key compost parameters that can serve as reliable predictors of humic substance composition and bioactivity, thereby reducing reliance on

By defining patent quality through patent value indicators, we analyze each indicator’s relationship to the market value of firms. We find that an extra citation per patent increases a firm’s market value by 5 %, and an extra patent family member per patent increases a firm’s market value by 4 %.

As agricultural producers embrace the principles of the circular economy and regenerative practices, the use of organic fertilizers is becoming increasingly common. Composting is a robust, low-cost technology that stabilizes organic waste materials into organic fertilizers that can be safely applied to crops.

We selected a large wildfire that occurred in the Sierra del Teleno in 2012 (NW Spain), where we differentiated two recurrences and two burn severity situations. As a result, four scenarios were identified: low recurrence plus low severity, low recurrence plus high severity, high recurrence plus low severity, high recurrence plus high severity. In each one, a number of 1 m x 1 m plots proportional to the burned area were established. Three years

Abstract:
At present, the manufacturing industries require the implementation of more efficient and flexible fabrication processes to offer high-quality products. The changeover methodologies can be used to reduce the setup times, allowing the industries to be more competitive. The application of changeover methodologies is mainly influenced by the 4Ps model, which is composed of organizational and design factors, such as people, practices, product, and processes. However, this model is not useful in determining the relationship between each one of the Ps and the changeover activities. In this chapter,

Abstract:
Buckwheat grain processing produces a significant amount of buckwheat hulls, which are usually stored or incinerated, posing a threat to the environment, particularly to soil and air. The solution to this problem may lie in the production of biochar from buckwheat husks. Buckwheat husks have a favourable composition for biochar production. The resulting biochar can be used as an additive to compost to improve its characteristics, ensure a high-quality composting process and adsorb pollutants. Since the mechanisms of sorption of biochar produced from buckwheat husk are not yet well understood,

Abstract It is a standard practice to use a coating system as the primary defense in preventing external corrosion on pipelines1. Additionally, pipelines installed by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) also require special coatings which have high abrasion resistance to minimize damage during pull through2. However, given the aggressive nature of the installation method, some degree of compromised coating is inevitable. It is assumed that corrosion at the coating holidays will be suppressed through application of cathodic protection (CP). Considering the unknown effectiveness of CP at HDD’s

The CMP provides decision support by seeking to estimate the cost of corrosion management for water treatment compared to the economics associated with risk and reliability.

The question of what bibliometric indicator indicate has been discussed for several decades. Over that period, the use of indicators has increased, the number of indicators too, but the question of what the indicators exactly measure remains to be debated. In this paper we propose to approach it from the perspective of scale construction. Basically, this means that we interpret the publication-based and citation-based indicators as items that measure aspects of the scientific quality, but at the same time we accept that all these indicators are characterized by error.

Abstract:
The Better Jobs Index measures jobs in countries based on two dimensions: quantity and quality. The quantity dimension is composed of two indicators: the labor participation rate and the employment rate. Quality, on the other hand, consists of the formality rate and living wage sufficient to overcome poverty. Thus, the index is the weighted average of these four indicators*, and their scores range from 0 to 100. For a country to get 100 points, all people who participate in the labor force must be employed with a formal job that provides them with a living wage.* Indicators are calculated usin

The purpose of our study is to provide tools for waterresource management and land-use planning.
