Nanoparticles as catalysts of agricultural revolution: enhancing crop tolerance to abiotic stress: a review

Ensuring global food security and achieving sustainable agricultural productivity remains one of the foremost challenges of the contemporary era. The increasing impacts of climate change and environmental stressors like drought, salinity, and heavy metal (HM) toxicity threaten crop productivity worldwide. Addressing these challenges demands the development of innovative technologies that can increase food production, reduce environmental impacts, and bolster the resilience of agroecosystems against climate variation. Nanotechnology, particularly the application of nanoparticles (NPs), represents an innovative approach to strengthen crop resilience and enhance the sustainability of agriculture. NPs have special physicochemical properties, including a high surface-area-to-volume ratio and the ability to penetrate plant tissues, which enhances nutrient uptake, stress resistance, and photosynthetic efficiency. This review paper explores how abiotic stressors impact crops and the role of NPs in bolstering crop resistance to these challenges. The main emphasis is on the potential of NPs potential to boost plant stress tolerance by triggering the plant defense mechanisms, improving growth under stress, and increasing agricultural yield. NPs have demonstrated potential in addressing key agricultural challenges, such as nutrient leaching, declining soil fertility, and reduced crop yield due to poor water management. However, applying NPs must consider regulatory and environmental concerns, including soil accumulation, toxicity to non-target organisms, and consumer perceptions of NP-enhanced products. To mitigate land and water impacts, NPs should be integrated with precision agriculture technologies, allowing targeted application of nano-fertilizers and nano-pesticides. Although further research is necessary to assess their advantages and address concerns, NPs present a promising and cost-effective approach for enhancing food security in the future.

Realization of a 2H–Si microneedle with an ultrafast growth rate of 6.7 × 104 Å·s-1

Abstract Nanomaterials have facilitated the development of innovative technologies in various industries. However, most research has been limited to nanoscale phenomena, and the effects of nanoscale phenomena on microscale crystal growth remain obscure. In this study, we demonstrated a straight 2H-Si microneedle with a longitudinal growth rate of 6.7 × 104 Å·s-1, which could not be explained by conventional crystal growth mechanisms, through AlN nanowires. The AlN nanowires were grown using the hydride vapor-phase epitaxy method, which induced the formation of Al membranes when NH3 supply was ceased. At this time, an elliptical Al membrane was created within 0.166 s, in accordance with the principle of Plateau–Rayleigh instability. The average spacing of the Al membrane was 4 μm, and approximately 10,000 elliptical Al membranes absorbed SiCl almost simultaneously to form a 40-mm 2H-Si microneedle within 100 min of growth time. Therefore, we realized straight 2H–Si microneedles with a growth rate of 6.7 × 104 Å·s-1. Differing from the conventional growth mechanism, this new growth method sheds light on the mechanism by which nanoscale phenomena contribute to the growth of microscale crystals.

The review article theoretically substantiates the peculiarities of the speech development of children with Down syndrome. Emphasized the importance of speech development as a key tool of socialization and cognitive activity of a child with Down syndrome, which helps to become part of a social group, improve self-esteem and reduce alienation. It is noted that the peculiarities of the speech of children with Down syndrome are manifested in a noticeable lag in the development of the child's active speech, which is accompanied by an insufficient level of understanding of the speech of others. The main characteristics of the speech of children with Down syndrome are revealed: physiological and anatomical features (muscle hypotonia, peculiarities of the structure of the oral cavity, difficulty breathing), delay in speech development (late speech development, difficulty in constructing sentences), pronunciation and articulation (problems with the articulation of sounds , monotony of speech), cognitive and communicative features (cognitive impairments, difficulties in understanding and reproducing speech, well-developed visual-spatial memory), individual progress. The main problems of speech development in children with Down syndrome are indicated, which are associated with a delay in both expressive and receptive speech, which affects the ability to learn and social interaction; peculiarities of articulation and phonetics (due to the hypotonia of the muscles of the face and oral cavity, children often have difficulties with the pronunciation of sounds and words, which makes it difficult to understand their speech), cognitive difficulties (intellectual disabilities can reduce the ability to master complex grammatical constructions and expand vocabulary), sensory integration. Prospects for further research are outlined: improvement of individualized approaches to a child with Down syndrome, taking into account his strengths; development of innovative technologies for speech development; research of alternative and additional communication; working out the algorithm and tools of early intervention in the speech therapist's work with a child with Down syndrome.

In situ formed Se-TiO2 as a highly reusable photocatalyst for selenium reduction and removal from industrial wastewater.

Selenium (Se) release from anthropogenic activities such as mining, power generation, and agriculture poses considerable environmental and ecological risks. Increasing prevalence and awareness of Se-related issues have driven the development of many innovative Se treatment technologies. Photocatalysis has shown promise towards Se removal from industrial wastewaters with minimal residuals, and is generally considered a low-cost, robust, non-toxic, and potentially solar-powered method. Despite this, its real-world application towards environmental remediation remains extremely limited. This is because research into practical considerations, such as photocatalyst stability and reusability, is often overlooked or understudied in favor of developing academically interesting but impractical materials. In this work, commercial anatase TiO2 is stress tested through fifteen cycles of reuse towards the photocatalytic reduction and removal of selenate in synthetic mine-influenced brine (SMIB) without washing or regeneration. Remarkably, selenate removal exceeds 99.3% throughout all cycles. In situ Se-TiO2 heterojunction formation, and changes to its properties including Se loading, particle size, and crystal phase, are characterized through X-ray absorption spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and diffuse reflectance UV/vis, while their effects on catalyst performance are elucidated. This work underscores the importance of catalyst recyclability for practical photocatalytic environmental remediation and discusses the effects of extensive use on photocatalyst performance.

Integrating Citizen Participation in the Development of New ICT Services for Smart Cities

The transition of cities towards a smarter approach significantly benefits from citizen participation in the development and implementation of innovative information and communication technology (ICT) products and services.
