Effect of agricultural substrates mixtures on yield and components in oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) (2024)

Mushroom cultivation is virtually non-existent in Yemen, despite it becoming increasingly common as an effective biotechnological practice for recycling agricultural by-products into valuable human food. Most farmers dispose of their agricultural waste, while it could be utilized beneficially as substrates for mushroom production.This study was conducted to investigate the effect of available agricultural waste mixtures on the growth of fungus Pleurotus ostreatus, yield and their components when

Yield improvement of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) production using cotton seed cake with combination of wheat straw amended with rice bran cellulosic waste materials (2019)

In recent years agricultural and industrial waste bio-conversion into food has attracted the world attention but has received diminutive attention in Pakistan. Pleurotus ostreatus is a good source of protein, amino acid, vitamins and also contain less amount of fats cholesterol. The present study was conducted to check the yield production of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus by using different agriculture waste materials such as wheat straw and rice bran with cotton seed cake. Five treatments

Enhancing Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus Ostreatus) Yield Through Three Substrate Variations: A Comparative Study (2025)

This study explores the optimization of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) cultivation through the experimental variation of substrates, aiming to enhance yield. A comparative analysis of three (3) substrates was analyzed for their efficacy in supporting mushroom growth. The study used a descriptive approach, systematically documenting and analyzing the effects of different substrate compositions on mushroom yield, height, and stem thickness. This experimental approach was used to conduct a c

Yield performance of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) on different substrate (2020)

Substrate type is an important factor determining growth and yield of oyster mushroom. Five different substrates namely rice straw, maize husks, banana leaves, fingermillet husk and mixture of rice straw and black gram pod shell (1:1) were evaluated for the yield and related attributes of Pleurotus ostreatus. Standard cultivation practice was followed with steam sterilization and spawning was done on 575 g of substrate in individual poly-bag. The data of three flushes were recorded. Our results

Possible Interventions for the Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Children and Adolescents (2023)

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic psychological disorder triggered by traumatic events and it is characterized by at least one month’s experience of symptoms that are divided into four groups: intrusions (nightmares; flashbacks related to the trauma); negative alterations in cognition and mood (anhedonia and persistent negative affect); avoidance (efforts to avoid internal and external reminders of the trauma); and hyperarousal (sleep disturbances and exaggerated startle respons

Veteran-Centered Investigation of Architectural and Space Design Considerations for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (2021)

Aim: This study sought to investigate architectural and space design considerations for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that urban design features could have a positive impact on the mental well-being of individuals suffering from PTSD. However, evidence-based architectural and space design guidelines for PTSD are largely absent. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 veterans diagnosed with PTSD to gain insights in

Integrated structural and energy building retrofit by reinforced concrete wall addition (2024)

AbstractIn light of the paramount considerations of environmental sustainability and the protection of both life and property, a significant number of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings fall short of meeting contemporary standards in terms of their structural and energy performances. In response to these pressing concerns, there is an imperative need for comprehensive building retrofitting processes that integrate both structural and energy considerations. One such approach, the additio

Embodied Energy and Carbon Footprint of Concrete Compared to Other Construction Materials (2023)

The main objective of infrastructure design codes is to protect the public’s welfare, health, and safety, none of which appear directly related to the current sustainability movement that has focused on protecting the natural environment, conserving resources, and minimizing the toxicity of construction materials and processes. Some United States jurisdictions have adopted language related to sustainability based on the United States Green Building Council to curtail adverse effects of global cl

Optimisation of Embodied Carbon and Compressive Strength in Low Carbon Concrete (2022)

To improve the prediction of compressive strength and embodied carbon of low carbon concrete using a program algorithm developed in MATLAB, 84 datasets of concrete mix raw materials were used. The influence of water, silica fume and ground granular base slag was found to have a significant impact on the extent of low carbon concrete behaviour in terms of compressive strength and embodied carbon. While the concrete compressive strength for normal concrete increases with reducing water content, it
