Restoration - Science topic

The Amazon Tropical Rainforests are referred to as the 'lungs of our planet'. The Amazon Tropical Rainforests and other highly biodiverse natural boreal areas are one of the key factors in removing CO2 from the atmosphere and are thus a limiting factor for greenhouse gas emissions, slowing the rate of progressive global warming, reducing the scale of the ongoing climate crisis. The tropical rainforests of the Amazon and other highly biodiverse natural forests and other natural green areas are a major reservoir of terrestrial biodiversity. In some but unfortunately still few countries and urban agglomerations, the scale of aforestation exceeds that of forest deforestation. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the tropical rainforests of the Amazon and many other natural forests of the tropical and subtropical zones. It is essential for the future of future generations of people, the state of the biosphere and the planet's climate to protect the state of biodiversity in the natural ecosystems of the tropical rainforests of the Amazon and other natural forests and to convert deforestation processes into aforestation. The state of biodiversity of the planet's biosphere and the rate of progressive global warming depend to a large extent on this. It has therefore been a common knowledge issue for many years to significantly increase the level of nature conservation, including the protection of the biodiversity of the tropical Amazon rainforest and other natural forest and natural ecosystems. It has also been a matter of common knowledge for many years, confirmed by many scientific studies and published scientific papers, that the processes of deforestation of the tropical Amazon Rainforest and other natural boreal, forest formations of the planet must be urgently converted to processes of aforestation. This, if it has been common knowledge for years, is why deforestation processes still dominate many times over aforestation. This problem was already signalled by researchers and scientists in the second half of the 20th century. Unfortunately, large-scale deforestation of the tropical Amazon rainforest and other natural forest formations of the planet continues. In addition, over the last 15 years the scale of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and other natural forest formations of the planet has increased instead of decreasing. At the UN climate summit COP26, many countries pledged that by the end of this decade at the latest, i.e. by 2030, deforestation processes would be significantly reduced to such an extent that aforestation processes would prevail. But why should we wait until 2030 for this when we know how important this is for the preservation of the planet's biodiversity and for the urgent issue of halting or slowing down the progressive process of global warming. The improvement of conservation techniques and the development of aforestations programmes is fostered by the society-wide pro-environmental awareness of citizens, modern technologies, available financial resources, scientific knowledge, etc. So what is missing, what still needs to change. Is the key problem still the lack of changes in politics and business, i.e. the necessary changes towards pro-environmental and pro-climate reforms, the development of a real environmental policy and environmental protection, the implementation of the concept of sustainable economic development, the realisation of sustainable development goals, the pursuit of sustainability of the development of civilisation with the surrounding nature and climate, the carrying out of a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic, dirty economy of excess towards a sustainable, green economy of moderation, a closed loop economy?

In view of the above, I would like to address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

Dear Researchers, Scientists, Friends,

The question is about the choice between short-term environmental gain (CO₂ absorption by fast-growing trees) and long-term restoration of biodiversity through the creation of natural ecosystems. According to the accepted research hypothesis, diverse forest ecosystems offer greater ecological benefits in the long term, but fast-growing plantations can be an effective tool in the short term for reducing CO₂. Industrial plantations of fast-growing trees (e.g. eucalyptus or pine) are often used as a way to quickly absorb CO₂. However, their value for the restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem stability is limited. Natural forests offer more ecosystem benefits, such as improved water retention, soil protection and the restoration of wildlife populations, but they take much longer to regenerate. The decision on which afforestation strategy to choose requires consideration of local environmental conditions and short- and long-term objectives.

I have described the key issues concerning the problem of the ongoing process of global warming, the negative effects of this process and, consequently, the need to increase the scale and accelerate the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy, climate protection, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet in the following article:

In the following article, I have summarised the results of my research on the relationship between sustainability issues, the origin and significance of the Sustainable Development Goals, the essence of sustainability in the context of social, normative, economic, environmental, climate and human rights aspects, etc. The research also addressed the issue of key determinants of human existential security as an element of the concept of sustainable development.

MOD inlays for Endodontically treated teeth have been known historically for high fracture rate clinically, particularly with wide cavities and thin remaining cusps, and with the conventional luting procedure that involve no adhesive cementation. Surprisingly, some still believe that every MOD cavity in the posterior endodontically treated teeth should be restored with onlay or overlay. I think the clinical decision of this matter is related to several considerations including, the cavity size, the support of the remaining tooth structure, the thickness of the axial wall, the type of the tooth, and the dentists expertise, decision, and professionalism of restorative and adhesive procedures.

Is there any clinical evidence that support the cuspal coverage in all situations?

Dear Researchers, Scientists, Friends,

The loss of biodiversity is one of the greatest environmental challenges. The question is whether it is more effective to protect untouched areas or to restore degraded environments. For the purposes of this discussion, I have formulated the following research thesis: the creation of new protected areas better protects unique ecosystems, but restoration may bring greater global benefits. The research shows that the protection of existing natural areas, such as rainforests, is crucial for the preservation of unique species and ecosystem functions. On the other hand, restoration allows the recovery of degraded land, e.g. by recreating wetlands or planting forests, which can increase the global area that is friendly to life. Both approaches require significant financial resources and international cooperation, therefore it is necessary to prioritise an approach tailored to local needs.

My following articles are related to the above issues in some aspects:

How to monitor ecological restoration effects from site-unit-watershed scale? What indicators should be considered in the monitoring of ecological protection and restoration effects？

I am working on a dental adhesive (bonding) and want to know which one of my samples is better. I am not talking about shear or bending or tensile strength. I just want to know what the characterization method is for dentists to know that the dental adhesive reaches the adhesion qualification before applying restoration.

What is the limit for composite restorations?

What is the importance of finishing and polishing in direct composite resin restorations in anterior teeth?

Book Theme: The rivers of India, vital lifelines that support agriculture, industry, and drinking water needs, are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change and human activities of the Anthropocene. The impact of rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increasing frequency of extreme weather events is profoundly affecting the geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, and socioeconomic fabric associated with these waterways. This book project (edited volume) explores how climate change is influencing Indian rivers (impact) and outlines potential strategies for mitigation and adaptation (resilience). It also covers the impact of various human activities on the fluvial morphology, hydrology, and riverine environment. Yet, as we step further into the 21st century, these vital waterways face unprecedented challenges. Reviving and restoring fluvial ecosystems is essential for reviving the health of India's rivers. This involves rehabilitating wetlands, reforesting riparian zones, and restoring natural river channels that have been altered by human activity. The need to reimagine and revitalize India's rivers has never been more urgent. To ensure their sustainability and health, a comprehensive blueprint is essential—one that balances ecological preservation with socioeconomic development. Research initiatives from a range of academic perspectives, including geography, biology, hydrology, geomorphology, environmental sustainability, environmental science, water economy, sociology, and political geography, are required for the book project.

How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?

Now in Iran, according to my suggestion, Unilit roof is used in the roofs of residential and office buildings, which is very light. I took this suggestion in an article for the seismological organization in Tehran and gave 14 suggestions to prevent the Tehran earthquake, including 2 They implemented it. One of them removed the bricks from the roof of residential and office buildings and put unilite and poured concrete on top of it, which is very resistant because there is a round rod inside the bits and it was mixed with concrete, and I also said that in metal buildings from 7 or 8 should be used next to the walls because it makes the Masguni houses stronger and also 2 parking spaces should be used under the buildings, like palm trees or dates, which have deep roots and will not fall during an earthquake. Buildings must have deep roots and also in the science of retrofitting structures, divergence is used, that is, natural or artificial rubber is used under the pillars of the houses, and steel springs are used in the middle, so that during an earthquake, the building, like a car or A car that has a spring and the springs play, the building goes up and down but does not fall, and this is a building engineering science that makes buildings resistant to earthquakes and natural disasters. And secondly, through the injection of water and salt solution, the energy of the faults can be removed. Because it comes from the earth's core, which has 6000 degrees Celsius of heat. At any moment, this heat transfers to the surface of the earth. Therefore, the energy inside the earth must be removed, and by transferring the water and salt solution that all the oil extraction companies have, which is known as the injection of water and salt solution, like a tiny needle that is inserted into a balloon so that the balloon does not burst, we humans can create an artificial earthquake. Let's prevent the earthquake explosion and create an artificial earthquake ourselves and release the pressure inside the earth. And 3, we should not build residential or office buildings where there is a fault line, because the buildings are heavy and the taller and bigger they are, the more pressure is placed on the faults. So either we have to build a single floor or not at all to prevent an earthquake from happening.

The Ultimate Anti-Seismic Design Method

The design mechanisms and methods of the invention are intended to minimize problems related to the safety of structures in the event of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and strong winds. It is achieved by controlling the deformations of the structure. Damage and deformation are closely related concepts since the control of deformations also controls the damage. The design method of applying artificial compression to the ends of all longitudinal reinforced concrete walls and, at the same time, connecting the ends of the walls to the ground using ground anchors placed at the depths of the boreholes, transfers the inertial stresses of the structure in the ground, which reacts as an external force in the structure’s response to seismic displacements. The wall with the artificial compression acquires dynamic, larger active cross-section and high axial and torsional stiffness, preventing all failures caused by inelastic deformation. By connecting the ends of all walls to the ground, we control the eigenfrequency of the structure and the ground during each seismic loading cycle, preventing inelastic displacements. At the same time, we ensure the strong bearing capacity of the foundation soil and the structure. By designing the walls correctly and placing them in proper locations, we prevent the torsional flexural buckling that occurs in asymmetrical floor plans, and metal and tall structures. Compression of the wall sections at the ends and their anchoring to the ground mitigates the transfer of deformations to the connection nodes, strengthens the wall section in terms of base shear force and shear stress of the sections, and increases the strength of the cross-sections to the tensile at the ends of the walls by introducing counteractive forces. The use of tendons within the ducts prevents longitudinal shear in the overlay concrete, while anchoring the walls to the foundation not only dissipates inertial forces to the ground but also prevents rotation of the walls, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the beams. The prestressing at the bilateral ends of the walls restores the structure to its original position even inelastic displacements by closing the opening of the developing cracks.

There are two ways to achieve it. To start, we can make buildings more ductile, that is, they can withstand stronger deformations without failing; On the other hand, we can design more rigid structures, which implies that the buildings resist greater accelerations.

These systems consist of elements for energy dissipation or assimilation. The first type of system seeks to increase the capacity to "lose" energy, such as the "Saint Andrew's Cross" trusses, and others work as seismic dampers or isolators.

To make buildings resistant to earthquakes, it is essential to incorporate various engineering principles and design practices. Here are the key steps and considerations in detail:

By integrating these principles and practices, engineers can significantly enhance the earthquake resistance of buildings, thereby reducing the risk of damage and loss of life during seismic events.

Ongoing research shows that included in Goal 15 (out of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals) is the restoration of the natural environment of biodiverse ecosystems in post-industrial areas, the restoration of highly biodiverse forest ecosystems, the development of afforestation programs, which should already be implemented on a large scale by 2020 (Task 15.1. included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: By 2020, ensure the protection, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and other ecosystems, particularly forests, wetlands and drylands, and mountains, in accordance with international commitments). has still not been implemented in some countries. In some countries, in recent years, there are still many post-industrial areas, including mining spoil heaps, that have not been developed in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, i.e. restoration of the natural environment has not been undertaken. In addition, in some countries, still instead of sustainable forest management consisting of strict protection of old-growth, natural highly biodiverse forest ecosystems, restoration of biodiverse forest ecosystems referring to the natural ones occurring for thousands of years in a specific area characterized by a specific mix of natural and climatic conditions, industrial cultivation of only some tree species for industrial cutting is carried out, and predatory pseudo forest management consisting of cutting all trees in a specific area is carried out, including cutting down old-growth forests and by the way destroying entire biodiverse ecosystems, which also results in accelerated degradation, soil barrenness, deterioration of water retention and local microclimate. On the other hand, it has been widely known for many years on the basis of the results of thousands of research works that restoration of the natural environment, including biodiverse forest ecosystems, increases the scale of sustainability in terms of human-biosphere, climate and biodiversity relations. In turn, the restoration of the natural environment in post-industrial and other areas degraded by unsustainable human activity increases the areas of the biosphere and reduces the scale of the negative effects of civilizational unsustainable human activity, including reducing the scale of environmental pollution and reducing the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The effect is to slow down the progressive greenhouse effect and thus reduce the scale of global warming. Reducing the scale and slowing down the progressive process of global warming generates a reduction in the scale of the negative effects of the ongoing climate change, i.e. a reduction in the scale and frequency of weather anomalies and climatic disasters, including, above all, the increasingly severe periods of drought covering more and more land areas, in addition to the yearly occurrence of higher and higher summer temperatures, increasingly severe shortages of drinking water and/or increasingly violent storms with torrential rains and floods. Therefore, the restoration of the natural environment in areas degraded by the development of industry, ongoing mining activities or unsustainable agriculture in the industrial formula, including the development of afforestation programs, restoration of biodiverse forest ecosystems contributes to improving the local microclimate, improves water retention processes, slows down the processes of soil barrenness and/or reverses these processes, contributes to the restoration of highly fertile and biodiverse microbial soils, results in increasing the scale of ecological and climatic sustainability, increases the scale of resilience of the planet's highly biodiverse natural ecosystems and/or flexibility to adapt to a changing climate, and improves livelihoods for humans as well. Therefore, taking into account the above-mentioned great positive qualities of the processes of restoration of the natural natural environment, including biodiverse forest ecosystems then, in parallel, the scale of strict nature conservation should be increased, including increasing the areas of natural ecosystems, including natural natural ecosystems and those being restored. In this way, the amount of greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere will increase more slowly, and thus the process of global warming, which has been accelerating over the past several decades, can be slowed down. In view of the above, due to the high level of relevance of the process of restoration of the natural environment, reclamation of areas of natural ecosystems devastated by man, protection of highly biodiverse natural ecosystems for the climate and biosphere of the planet and also for future generations of people, restoration of the natural environment, including biodiverse forest ecosystems in post-industrial and other areas degraded by unsustainable human activities should be considered one of the priority elements of the green transformation of the economy. Implemented fully and seriously, the green transformation of the economy, in which an important role is played by pro-climate, pro-environmental, pro-biodiversity and thus realistically also pro-social policies, should also fully take into account the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Unfortunately, this is still not practiced in all parts of the world.

In my opinion, climate protection combines with the protection of the biosphere and the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems in many ways. Many issues of climate protection also affect the issue of the biosphere and biodiversity of the natural ecosystems of the planet. On the other hand, by taking care of the state of nature, protecting the natural environment, strengthening systems for protecting the biosphere, and improving solutions for protecting the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems, we also contribute to protecting the planet's climate. Many issues in the aforementioned issues of protecting the planet's climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems are interrelated. For example, increasing the scale of reforestation, restoration of natural ecosystems, restoration of biodiverse forest ecosystems both constitute an important element in the protection of nature, the biosphere and biodiversity of flora and fauna but are also an important element in the protection of the climate, both the microclimate locally and the climate globally. In recent times, the change in trends occurring in many urban areas from the ubiquitous years ago so-called concretization, that is, the removal of green areas, the creation of wide sidewalks, concrete squares, asphalt surfaces, etc. to greening, creation of new city parks, reduction of concretes, reduction of areas covered with concrete and asphalt, creation of additional green areas, lawns, flower meadows, pocket parks, etc. is also an important element of pro-climate and at the same time pro-environmental, sustainable economic development and a feature of a modern city developing in accordance with the green smart city concept. Also, the replacement of unsustainable, implemented according to the formula of intensive, production agriculture with sustainable organic agriculture at the same time fits into the pro-environmental and pro-climate policy. Conservation of water resources, implementation of water efficiency systems, creation of rainwater catchment facilities for use in agriculture and irrigation of parks and home gardens is also an important element of sustainable development, green closed-loop economics and protection of both the biosphere and the planet's climate. Also, the creation of new landscape parks, conservation areas, natural national parks is an important element in the protection of the biosphere, biodiversity and the planet's climate.

Key aspects of the negative effects of the ongoing process of global warming and the associated necessary acceleration of the processes of green transformation of the economy in order to decarbonize the economy, slow down the process of global warming, protect the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of natural ecosystems of the planet I described in the article:

The restoration of biodiverse natural forest ecosystems in civilization-degraded areas, post-industrial areas, post-mining spoil heap areas, post-agricultural areas characterized by permanent drought and depleted soil, areas increasingly exposed to the negative effects of climate change, including global warming, etc., is one of several key elements of restoration. is one of several key elements in the reclamation of the natural environment, and thus also one of the main factors in the green transformation of the economy, building a sustainable closed-loop economy, achieving the goals of sustainable development, protecting the planet's biosphere, biodiversity and climate. The technological advances taking place should help smoothly carry out the green transformation of the economy, protecting nature, biodiversity and the planet's climate. Accordingly, new technologies, including Big Data Analytics, artificial intelligence and other Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, should be used in the restoration of biodiverse natural forest ecosystems. However, the aforementioned new technologies, including Big Data Analytics technology, artificial intelligence and other Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, especially when they are used in large computerized data centers then consume large amounts of energy. Therefore, in order for the process of using new technologies, including Big Data Analytics, artificial intelligence and other technologies that consume large amounts of energy when they are used in large data centers to fit in with the trend of green transformation of the economy and the realization of sustainable development goals, they should be powered by electricity generated from renewable and zero-carbon energy sources.

A key premise for formulating such questions is the adage that a drop beats a rock. Often, when we wonder whether to choose a bicycle instead of an internal combustion car as a means of transportation in a situation of driving to a nearby store, the answer appears that, after all, with this one gesture, this action performed only by us in a situation where many other people, including neighbors, friends, etc. do not do it, we ourselves will not save the climate and the biosphere. But, after all, this is what many people think. And each individual, if this thinking would change and replace the car with a bicycle then one drop will turn into thousands and then into millions of drops, into rain, into a river and large-scale changes will be realized. The same applies, for example, to the issue of segregating waste, to the use of pesticides in the home garden, to the creation of a flower meadow instead of mowing the lawn, to changing consumption habits to more prudent and sustainable ones, on the reuse of used products and recyclables in the sharing economy, etc. Of course, green financial subsidies, regulatory change are key instruments to motivate this kind of change, to systemically address the issue of smoothly carrying out the green transformation of the economy to build a sustainable, zero-carbon, green closed-loop economy. However, the adage that a drop drills the scale is valid. In this regard, it is particularly important to change the consciousness and mentality of individual people individually and, at the same time, of many people in society.

We are trying to measure degree of conversion of resin composite under ceramic restoration using FTIR. The specimens are flat and are cured next to a cellophane strip, so they are smooth and relatively flat. However, since we are just interested in the aliphatic and aromatic peaks at 1638 and 1608 in the spectral data, even after being flat and in close contact with the ATR crystal, we do not get any signal.

Would you think of anything we might be doing wrong?

We tried crushing the resin composite specimens and using the powder, we still had no luck.

Any idea that might help us I look forward to your reply.

In my opinion, if plowing is done CORRECTLY, then the problem of restoring soil fertility can be solved.

Weather stations are key facilities to record long-term change in surface air temperature (SAT) in land. However, some weather stations are located in or near cities, and they may suffer from relocations due to the expansion of the cities and the resulting deterioration of observing settings. This is especially true in developing regions like China mainland. Most of the national stations in this region have been relocated for at least one time.

The practice has led to breakpoints in the SAT data series, and researchers have to make an adjustment called homogenization before they go further to analyze long-term change in SAT. Different homogenization procedures produced different results of the SAT trends, with some effectively restoring the urbanization effect in the historical SAT records. Thus the homogenization will bring in a new bias in the site and regional SAT data series.

Each country or region may have different practices when the weather stations are engulfed by buildings. What are you seeing in your countries or regions? Have the observational stations been also moved away from urban areas? How do you think about the possible influence of urbanization on the historical SAT records no matter what strategies have been practiced?

In recent years, large-scale green investment projects have been launched in some countries, which are being carried out as part of the green transformation of the economy to build a sustainable, green, zero-carbon zero-growth and closed-loop economy. The essence of the ongoing large-scale implementation of the aforementioned processes in some regions of the world is to carry out a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess into a sustainable, green, zero-carbon zero-growth and closed-loop economy. One of the economic regions of the world where these issues have been prioritized, ambitious plans have been set out to smoothly carry out the green transformation of the economy is the European Union. One of the many components of the green transformation of the economy is the large-scale creation and implementation of new green technologies and eco-innovations. Well, in recent years, many new green technologies and eco-innovations are being created in the framework of clean emission-free energy, biodegradable materials, electromobility, cleaning up the polluted environment, increasing the scale of recycling, economical use of natural resources, conservation of clean water resources, restoration of green areas in cities, reforestation of wasteland and civilization-degraded areas, and so on. If such processes of efficiently carried out green transformation of the economy are carried out on a large scale in all countries of the world, there is still a chance to significantly slow down the progressive process of global warming and save the net from the projected global climate catastrophe. Therefore, the chance to save at least in part the remaining biosphere of the planet, to save the biodiversity of the natural ecosystems of the planet, i.e. the greatest value of the planet Earth that has been created by the many millions of years of evolution of life on the planet, increases. The issue of conservation, protecting the planet's biosphere and saving the remaining biodiversity and its restoration through the use of new green technologies and eco-innovations man can at least partially repair what he destroyed in the past. Man should protect the biosphere and climate, should restore the biodiversity of natural ecosystems with a view to the future of future generations of people, the future of the planet, the achievements of the evolution of life on planet Earth, and so on. If man in his nature is friendly towards the biosphere and not selfish towards the planet, the only planet he has, then he probably wants to save the climate, biosphere and biodiversity from total degradation. Accordingly, in recent years there has been a growing demand for the creation and implementation of new green technologies and eco-innovations. New research and implementation centers and new research projects are being established to develop new technological solutions so that the process of green transformation can be carried out more efficiently and quickly. And time is of the essence, as the process of global warming continues to accelerate and there is little time left to reach a critically high state of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Besides, thanks to the developing cooperation between scientists and researchers studying this issue, working in different parts of the world, the chances of realizing the plan to save the climate, biosphere and biodiversity from total degradation are becoming greater.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

I am haphazardly filling a few gaps in my knowledge of British history and I am currently reading Trevelyan's England Under the Stuarts because his name often came up when I overheard my friends who were history students talking about Cromwell, the Restoration, etc. However, I am finding his inflated writing style rather challenging. I find that his "literary" prose tends to get in the way of clarity: one needs to already know the general facts in order to figure out what he is saying.

Achieving acceptable dental restorations requires efficient communication between dentists and dental technicians.

Hundrends of millions have been invested in this feat, after some initial promise such as the Ashtekar's reformulation of GR, the Wheeler DeWitt equation etc (i. E. 100m to a research Group baseb on Imperial college, UK in early '00s).Reseasrch however cumilated to weird theories such as Loop Quantum theory that lost traction by the early'2020s.

Now research is based on 3 premises

GR focused

** diffeomorphism invariance (aborting the meaning of some SR results)

** shape dynamics

QM focused

** restoring locality if the wavefunction update if seen as physical process

Share your experience in restoration, restoration of ecosystems, special interest in high mountain systems. Particular interest in the work, methods of implementation and the results obtained.

Ecotechnology is an emerging science that focuses on applying ecological knowledge and environmental skills to attain sustainability in human developmental progress. It enables human activities to adapt more skillfully to natural ecosystem functions. It involves cross-disciplinary studies of nature, and basic sciences, especially blending ecology, biology, and technology. The emphasis is to avoid ecological and environmental damage in all human activities. Accordingly, it summarizes all the sustainable engineering models for preserving, restoring, and conserving natural ecosystems to make developmental progress accessible through generations. In simple terms, ecotechnology enables humans to protect biodiversity, and soil health, achieve sustainable agriculture, eco-friendly energy sources, food safety, and all other means to manage sustainable development. Therefore, the primary objective of Ecotechnology is to make human life happy forever through proper monitoring of natural ecosystems while employing innovative technologies and novel ideas for progress and development.

Thinking of writing an review article about forest restoration. Any ideas or suggestions on that will be most appreciated

The technological advances taking place are contributing to the improvement of computerized analytical techniques implemented on large data sets. The development of technological solutions typical of the current fourth technological revolution, including the improvement and creation of new generations of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies, makes it possible to carry out multi-criteria analysis and simulation and forecasting models carried out on large sets of information and data. Such analyses are carried out using computerized analytical tools including Big Data Analytics in conjunction with other Industry 4.0 technologies. When the aforementioned analytical tools are enriched with Internet of Things technologies, cloud computing and satellite-implemented sensing and monitoring techniques, the possibilities for multi-criteria analytics of large areas, e.g. nature, climate and others in real time conducted using satellites, emerge. When artificial intelligence technology, machine learning, multi-criteria simulation models, and digital twins are added to these analytical and research techniques, opportunities arise for creating predictive simulations for multi-factor, complex processes realized in real time. These can be complex multi-factor natural, climatic, ecological processes, etc., and concerning changes in the state of the environment, environmental pollution, changes in the state of ecosystems, biodiversity, changes in the state of soils in agricultural fields, changes in the state of moisture in forest areas, etc. caused by civilization factors. In view of the above, new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 can also help monitor the state of the environment and protect the tropical Amazon rainforest and other areas of forests, green areas.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

Please answer,

I invite everyone to join the discussion,

Thank you very much,

Mosaic maintenance and restoration has witnessed many experiences and expertise over 50 years, as many materials and techniques were relied upon, but there are many of them that negatively affected the mosaic and affected it undesirably. Giving solutions helps to ensure a very appropriate restoration of the archeological mosaic.

I have watched a number of videos of people restoring rusted objects. They use a range of methods including physical methods: scraping, sanding, and grinding along with various chemical/electrochemical methods. But can the metal be heated to remove rust? I know rust is caused by oxides. The issue is that when you use these methods they are destructive (some are less destructive) but some material is lost. I have seen some objects heated to retemper the metal. I am sure if I look hard enough I can find an answer. Of course, heating objects can also be destructive as well. Any thoughts?

How can groundwater affect forest Restoration/ aforestation?

I am working on a 33 bus distribution network and I am trying yo maximise the number of critical loads restored and am using Dist flow for my power flow studies which I incorporated as one of the constraints but i cant seem to get the constraints formulated correctly in MATLAB

We are looking for any reference that tested sowing all seed in a single year versus sowing the same total amount of seed but spread across several years (e.g., plant 1/3 as much seed over each of 3 years, and compare success to all the seed planted in 1 (or each) of the 3 years), particularly in a revegetation/restoration setting.

Hi Researchers,

I would like to start my PhD studies based on Environmental engineering and science. Therefore I need to prepare an effective research proposal as a part of finding my appropriate supervisor. I would like to get suggested topics from you all in one of my following research areas:

1. Renewable resources (materials/energy) at construction or agriculture

2. Green roof technology.

3. Water quality conservation and restoration

4. Life cycle assessment

Since most of the readers of this discussion are well experienced researchers than myself, I would like to keenly here every suggested topics from your sides. Please allocate some time for this discussion and let me know some valuable topics. Thank you.

I have been into the topic of restoring dead old dry batteries with sulfuric acid rather than replacing the battery with a new one to save some money. But I have my doubts to the practicality and the feasibility of this method. So, to the people of specialty and experts, is this method recommended practical wise and financial wise compared to replacing the dead old battery with a new one?

What are some good books (both new or classics) on community ecology and restoration ecology, which can be helpful to build concepts for a PhD? (My specific field of study is ornithology)

In the field of sports science, the recovery umbrella is a trending topic, and even more so in the world of elite sports. This is evidenced by the significant increase in scientific publications during the last 10 years as teams look to find a competitive edge. Recovery is recognized to be an integral component to assist athlete preparation in the restoration of physical and psychological function, and subsequently, performance in elite team sports athletes. However, the importance of recovery in team staff members (sports coaches and performance staff) in elite sports appears to be a forgotten element. Given the unrelenting intense nature of daily tasks and responsibilities of team staff members, the elite sports environment can predispose coaches to increased susceptibility to psycho-socio physiological fatigue burden, and negatively affect health, wellbeing, and performance Therefore, the aim of this opinion was to (1) develop an educational recovery resource for team staff members, (2) identify organizational task-specific fatigue indicators and barriers to recovery and self-care in team staff members, and (3) present recovery implementation strategies to assist team staff members in meeting their organizational functions. It is essential that we do not forget the coaching and performance staff in the recovery process.

Our university project group is studying the possibility to apply a plan for the (local) restoration of ice based habitats of polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Has the idea already been developed in some way?

Hi!

Please tell, does anyone know where to find information on the method of calculating the cost of an hour of work of a restorer or conservator? I've been looking for such a methodology for a long time, but unfortunately I can't find anything.

Thanks in advance for the reply!

Soon I will be writing a paper on IMPAIRED Folate-mediated One-Carbon Metabolism (FOCM) in COVID-19, and I will be needing input from a vast array of scientists and researchers who are interested in this field of study. Please feel free to introduce questions and thoughts regarding this topic of importance in restoring the FOCM in COVID-19 patients. I am looking forward to your thoughts and opinions and questions.

In patients having congenitally missing maxillary laterals, the orthodontist wishes to keep a space,that could be restored later. How can we determine the space required?

I see a similar issues encountered by other. Can anyone help answering. Thank you.

My hyperledger fabric network consists of 1 orderer, 1 organization and 3 peers. I tampered ledger of first peer and then tried to do another transaction on the same peer, then the following error was thrown:

"Error: deliver completed with status (SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE) before txid received - proposal response: "

But the transaction was executed and also the block was added in tampered ledger of peer. But the tampered data was not restored to previous state.

With the reference of the answer in this link - "https://intellipaat.com/community/17752/in-hyperledger-fabric-blocks-locations-and-validity-criteria", I came to know that if the tampering is done, "the state database can be dropped and rebuilt from the blockchain".

So this process of dropping and rebuilding the database is done automatically by peer or we need to do it manually?

In short, if tampering is done in ledger of peer, how can be the previous state of ledger restored?

Assume that the current coral cover is between 20% and 30%, down from 40% over the past 10 years and that the restoration project can be funded for at least 10 years.

Churches of the restoration faith are some of the complex churches because they do not have a specific doctrinal tradition like Catholicism, Methodism, Presbyterianism etc...they emphasise restoring the church to its pristine forms. It however has borrowed from the Calvinistic traditions and has embedded traditions in its teachings. These traditions have been overcrowded by different practices - the churches are like a court with multiple centres. The centre of the court can no longer be identified. Churches now clamor for unlearning their practices to relearn the traditions. Therefore the question is, How best can the churches of the Restoration faith unlearn their practices to relearn their faith traditions?

Date mussel Lithophaga lithophaga populations restoration project

I am interested in measuring if there has been an improvement in plant health in an arid ecosystem that has been restored by active planting of the dominant species that was over gazed and ultimately removed completely from some areas in the ecosystem. The species was reintroduced by active planting around 10 years ago and has reestablished well, about 1/3 of what I would consider similar to natural density. These planted areas include various additional "remnant" species from the original ecosystem and I would like to compare traits within species across degraded, restored, and natural conditions, but I'm not sure which traits would be the best to explore. What I have off the top of my head is' specific leaf area (SLA), flower/fruit set, stem/leaf water content, but I need more as the difference might be subtle.

Please suggest other traits that I can read up about.

Thanks and best regards,

Nicholas

Of course, in the long-term perspective rewetting of peatlands has the potential to fulfil the multiple restoration goals including those targeting on climate, water, and species protection. However, in particular if long-term drained and agricultural used sites are rewetted often shallow lakes are formed due to peat loss and soil shrinkage. Such inundation could be problematic if areas are affected which still have a higher conservation value due to occurrence of rare orchids or butterflies like Euphydras aurinia. Such a case seems to be an exception but indeed such remnants can be occasionally found in larger drained riparian peatlands located in depressions or other areas which were less affected by drainage measures. Is there any publications available reporting on (non-intended) negative consequences on biodiversity due to rewetting measures?

If I don't have aesthetic concerns, I prefer glass ionomer (Equa forte). I use bulk-fill composite in deep cavities. So, you?

I am seeking the best current methods and datasets (highest possible resolution) for defining and assessing global land degradation - ideally with a time series. I know there are different ways of exploring this e.g. biomass, productivity, land use/cover etc., but I would appreciate any thoughts on current modelling, datasets/resources and novel approaches.

I am also interested in the best methods for quantitatively mapping/modelling land restoration (biophysical) on a global scale, and if possible, historic land reconstruction.

Thanks!
