Temperature Optimization in CEA Cannabis Production

Lighting and heating remain high-cost energy considerations in controlled environment agriculture, whether for food or medicinal plant production, yet how these parameters affect highly valued phytochemical profiles in Cannabis sativa inflorescence and subsequent cannabis products remains largely unexplored in industrial settings. This information could prove useful for licensed producers of cannabis or indoor food producers […]

Novel approaches to stimulate regeneration in the retina

Vision loss caused by retinal degeneration remains untreatable, posing a significant medical challenge. Unlike mammals, certain vertebrates like fish and frogs possess a remarkable regenerative ability in their retinas, mediated by Müller glia—specialized support cells that can proliferate and replace lost neurons. In mammals, however, Müller glia fail to regenerate neurons after injury, instead undergoing […]

Simplified technique for measuring ammonia emissions during manure management: A validation study

Manure storage and spreading release various air emissions, including ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and particulate matter. Among these, ammonia is the most common gas emitted, which can harm air quality, human health, and the environment. High ammonia levels contribute to air pollution by forming fine particulate matter, which harms human health and […]

Propagating Instrumental Systematics to Cosmological Analysis Pipeline for HIRAX

This research sheds light on the mysterious force of dark energy, driving the universe’s accelerated expansion, and reveals how cosmic structures evolve. Since hydrogen makes up most of the universe, its natural radiation at radio wavelengths allows us to map large volumes of space and track the distribution of matter. The Hydrogen Intensity and Real-time […]
