Off Seasonal Tomato Production Practices in Nepal
Abstract: Solanaceous crop, tomato, a good source of minerals, vitamins and organic acids, is used as protective food and grown all over the world as annual plant. In Nepal, farmers are growing it mainly as offseason crop to earn good value even though risk is higher and are facing different problems. Different methods such as exploiting agro climatic diversity, generation of micro-climate, adaptation of grafted plants etc are in use. Use …

Potato Starch-Based Composites for Industrial Application
Abstract: Plastic has become an essential element in our daily life. Plastics derived from polyolefins such as polyethylene are currently used in plastic film for food wrapping, garbage bags, mulching, compost bags, and many more. These plastics are typically inactive and resistant to microbial attack and hence they remain in nature for a long time without any deformation and has a harmful effect on atmosphere. Biodegradable plastics can help solve this …

Green Manufacturing Implementation Framework for Ethiopian Manufacturing Industry
Abstract: In the current period of fierce market competition, industries are introducing efficient production processes to ensure their existence. The rate of contamination of natural resources such as water, soil, and air are increasing due to industrial waste. Rapid environmental degradation has demanded that enterprises worldwide adopt environmentally responsible manufacturing practises. Green manufacturing methods were envisaged and implemented in this context by large-scale firms in industrialised countries. Managing green manufacturing practises …

Analysis of Geological Structure for the Application of Geotechnical Engineering to Optimize Thermal Extraction in Geothermal Wells
Abstract: The characterization of the geological terrain for geothermal applications from the heat transfer point of view has been made. Horizontal, vertical and inclined geological layers have been analyzed. Uniform and homogeneous terrain are better candidates for low or high enthalpy geothermal applications while heterogeneous soil have a poorer performance from the thermal transfer point of view. The characterization process of soil structure and properties allows to take the appropriate decision …

Electronic Waste: A Critical Non-Renewable Pollutant
Abstract: E-waste is an indirect and unexpected waste that affects people, animals and the environment through contamination of air, soil and water. The distribution and long-term storage of electronic waste can have serious impacts on environmental resources. India is the largest energy consumers and are also responsible for the increase in energy and energy waste. Therefore, this article focuses on a detailed description of e-waste management in India, including the recycling …
