Hydroponics refers to the art of growing plants in water without soil (land). Nutrients for the plants are supplied to the roots in the form of solution that can be either in the form of static or flowing. Hydroponics can be cultivated both in green house and glass house environment. The limitation in green house environment is to maintain the temperature, pressure, humidity value at a particular level. In addition to that, monitoring on PH value and electrical conductivity in hydroponics is another challenge that has to be monitored and maintained. Manual monitoring is in practice which is a very trivial task else the plants may die out. This project, focuses on two tasks, the first one is to automate the greenhouse environment monitoring. The subsequent is automation of PH level, temperature, turbidity and electrical conductivity maintenance. IOT is used to transfer the retrieved data to the internet (mass storage) and mobile app is used to communicate the current status to the user through the use of internet to their mobile phones, so that monitoring & maintenance will be easier. This Hydroponics system requires less manual intervention, water and space than traditional agricultural systems.

The spatial variability of salt accumulation through the soil profile was studied at Latachapali union of Kalapara upazila, Patuakhali district, Bangladesh. The soil samples were collected from 30 locations covering six villages of the union: Kuakata, Malapara, Fashipara, Khajura, Mothaopara and Tajepara. Five locations were randomly selected from each village. From each location soil samples were collected from three soil depths at 0-2 cm, 2.1-4 cm and 4.1-6 cm. Electrical conductivity of top 0-2 cm soil depth was 20.49 dS/m, in 2.1-4 cm soil depth was 7.14 dS/m and in 4.1-6 cm soil depth 4.15 dS/m. The study soils were strongly acidic having pH value 4.73, 4.99 and 5.20 in 0-2, 2.1-4 and 4.1-6 cm soil depth, respectively. The highest of 8.8 Na:K ratio was found in 0-2 cm soil depth. The Na:K ratio gradually decreased with the increase of soil depth, having 6.59 in 2.1-4 cm and 5.42. in 4.1-6 cm soil depth. The results clearly reveal that the top soil is very much sensitive to salt stress. Based on the electrical conductivity and Na:K ratio the Fashipara, Kuakata and Tajepara village were found seriously affected by salinity.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 42, No. 1, 11-23, 2018

Porous ceramic pellets for possible environmental application were produced from different Latvian clays by sintering at different temperatures. Their characteristics and influence of additives were analysed using X-ray diffraction, mercury porosimetry and BET tests. The obtained ceramic pellets from calcareous clays after immersion in distilled water change its pH value, which affects their capability to adsorb ions or molecules on the surface. The sorption capabilities are dependent on the pH level of water solution, composition of clays, and used adsorbate. Porosity of the produced pellets is mostly within range from 15 to 25 % throughout all sintering temperatures with a slight decrease at 1050 ?C. The specific surface area has a wide range up to 30 m2/g. The highest surface area has pellets sintered at lower temperatures. The adsorption capability of pellets was evaluated using water solutions with different ions. The most promising results were obtained with iodine sorption. For most pellets the sorption capacity was 12.7 mg/g, although for the pellets sintered at 1050 ?C it was lower.

Assessment of soil and soil-water salinity is essential in agricultural production, therefore it is necessary to find out the non-costly, effective, rapid and reliable integrated methodology for this purpose. The paper presents the results of using the electromagnetic induction instrument EM31-MK2Ô in combination with collecting and analyzing soil and soil-water samples, and applying GIS and geostatistical techniques to assess the current status of soil and soil-water salinity in Ben Tre province. Apparent soil electrical conductivity ECa measured from ground surface to 6 m in depth increases from inland to the sea in northwest - southeast direction; ECa is closely related to topsoil salinity to 30 cm deep and to soil-water salinity at depth of 10–100 cm. Current status of soil and soil-water salinity in 2018 was assessed with a 4-fold increase in information, from 16 km2/data point to 4 km2/data point. Consequently four maps were established, consisting of electrical conductivity ECe and total solube salt TSS distributions of soil; electrical conductivity σw and total dissolved solid TDS distributions of soil-water.

Despite being a well-known human pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae plays a significant role in the biotechnology field, being considered as a microbial cell factory in terms of valuable chemical biosynthesis. In this work, Klebsiella pneumoniae DSMZ 2026 was investigated for its potential to biosynthesize 1,3-propanediol (PDO) and 2,3-butanediol (BDO) during batch fermentation under controlled and uncontrolled pH levels. The bacterial strain was cultivated at a bioreactor level, and it was inoculated in 2 L of specific mineral broth containing 50 g/L of glycerol as the main carbon source. The process was conducted under anaerobic conditions at 37 °C and 180 RPM (rotations per minute) for 24 h. The effect of pH oscillation on the biosynthesis of PDO and BDO was investigated. Samples were taken every 3 h and specific tests were performed: pH measurement, main substrate consumption, PDO and BDO production. The cell morphology was analyzed on both solid and liquid media. After 24 h of cultivation, the maximum concentrations of PDO and BDO were 28.63 ± 2.20 g/L and 18.10 ± 1.10 g/L when the pH value was maintained at 7. Decreased concentrations of PDO and BDO were achieved (11.08 ± 0.14 g/L and 7.35 ± 0.00 g/L, respectively) when the pH level was not maintained at constant values. Moreover, it was identified the presence of other metabolites (lactic, citric, and succinic acids) in the cultivation media at the beginning of the process, after 12 h and 24 h of cultivation.

In this article, the effects of Ohmic heating process conditions on electrical conductivity and heat transfer were investigated. In order to study the Ohmic heating process, various hydrocolloid solutions containing starch in water with concentrations of 4–8% in the static cells were used. Temperature increments increased electrical conductivity of the solution, linearly. The concentration of dispersed solid particles in the solution caused a progressive trend in time-temperature curve for hydrocolloid solutions (with concentrations of 4, 5.5 and 8%) without electrolytes. The electrical conductivity was raised by increasing temperatures. In order to consider the salinity impact on electrical conductivity and the heating rate, sodium chloride (with concentrations of 1–0.25%) was added to the solution. It was observed that the salt addition to the system had a major effect on electrical conductivity and time-temperature curves. The pH level was modified with Citric acid addition, and the influence of pH level on the time-temperature curves and heating rates were investigated. The Citric acid addition had no on significant effect on the time-temperature curves.

The surface water resources of Bodo/Bonny communities in Rivers State suffers regular pollution of its ecosystem due to increase in crude oil exploration, refining and activities of other industrial establishments operating within the coastal areas of the Ogoniland of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.  This have resulted in the wide scale contamination of most of its creeks, swamps and rivers with hydrocarbons and dispersant products resulting in the alteration of the ecological integrity of fragile aquatic systems, bioaccumulation of chemical contaminants by zoobenthos, sediment enrichment, and smothering or asphyxiation of the organisms in water by oil coating, thereby causing death. These conditions have resulted in serious threat to public health and the ecosystems. The study was aimed at determining the physico-chemical characteristics of Bodo/Bonny coastal waters impacted by crude oil spills and their effect on the marine ecosystems. Surface water was collected from 5 stations (BBW1, BBW2, BBW3, BBW4 and LFPW5) with LFPW5 serving as control. Physico-chemical parameters were investigated following standard methods. The results of the physicochemical characteristics of the various sampling points in the dry season showed that pH, TDS and Electrical conductivity values showed statistically significant differences at   P < 0.005. pH was slightly acidic in all sampling locations except for the Link fish pond, the values ranged from 6.20–6.40 which was below DPR Limit of 6.5-8.5 for potable water, TDS recorded 43175–57075 mg/L above DPR permissible Limit of 5000mg/L. Electrical Conductivity (EC) values ranged from 54050 -57050 µS/cm. The Dissolved Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand, Turbidity, Chloride recorded in this study varied significantly at P< 0.05. Results of the physicochemical parameters of surface water in the wet season fell within the standard limits except for the conductivity that was above the permissible limits. Comparatively the mean pH value of surface river water with Linked fish pond water which served as the control revealed that the Link fish pond water had the highest pH value of 7.9 than the surface river water samples with a pH of 6.4, TDS (60,200 mg/L), Electrical Conductivity (EC) (µS/cm3) followed a similar pattern with the mean EC value of 55,800 mg/L as against 750mg/L for the Link Fish pond water. Temperature recorded 310C as against 300C for the link fish pond while the Salinity (mg/L) of the surface river water was 31.63 mg/L. Dissolved Oxygen was  2.3 mg/L, Biochemical Oxygen Demand values for the surface river water was 0.49 mg/L while the Link fish pond water had 0.3mg/L. These values obtained in this study shows that the spilled oil in the water could impact on species abundance and biomass by depleting and depriving the fishes from available O2 for survival thus resulting in asphyxiation.

Tofu has the best quality vegetable protein because it has the most complete amino acid composition and is believed to have high digestibility (85% -98%). According to SNI 01-3142-1998 and SII No. 0270-1990 testing criteria for soy tofu based on smell, taste, color, appearance, or texture. Tofu soybeans are prone to physical or texture damage due to factors such as inappropriate pH levels and insufficient storage which results in damaged tofu. Therefore in this study, it is proposed to determine the elasticity of soy tofu with the parameters tested are the pH level in the manufacture of soy tofu, the storage temperature, and the capacitance value to see how thick the tofu is with a capacitive sensor using the capacitor principle. Where the parallel plate capacitor is a capacitor consisting of two parallel metal plates. The test results of all sensors are sent to the database and will be displayed on the page on the Android application which will provide real-time sensor output information to the user. Based on the results of testing on this system using a pH sensor, the pH value is around 3-4 which indicates that the pH level used is very good for use in tofu processing, at pH 4.56 with storage at 29 ° C the highest elastic capacitance value is 3.58.  In testing data delivery, the throughput value is 4336,217 b / s and the smallest delay value is 0.017ms because the smaller the delay value, the better the quality of data transmission because there will be no delay in sending data.

Agricultural productivity along with good nutrition plays a major role in addressing human health. The major source of nutrients for the growth of plants is soil.. The three main nutrients needed by plants are Phosphorus (P),Nitrogen (N) and silver-white element (K) square which are combined and made them into a single name thetrio(NPK). Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium, and sulphur. Smart Agriculture helps in identifying the nutrient contents present in the soil and also thereby increase the crop yield. The proposed work helps farmers to identify the nutrient contents present in the soil and also helps farmers to identify the type of crops that can be grown on the soil. An automated system can be developed for detecting moisture level, temperature, humidity, pH level in the soil. It also notifies the farmer with an alert message in case of fire. These values are obtained from individual sensors and they are sent to the cloud using Wi-Fi module. Using the API (Application Programming Interface) keys those values are transferred to the mobile application, through which the farmers can monitor their crops remotely. This mobile application also helps the farmers by suggesting a different type of crops that can be grown based on the pH level of the soil. It also suggests the farmers with the amount of limestone and sulphur to be added in the soil in order to raise or lower the pH value by 2.
