Glass fertilizers are new type of advanced and controlled released fertilizer and made of glass matrixes with macro elements most useful for plants and also incorporated with microelements which are important to the growth and development of corps or plants. This study the glasses sample was prepared, which may be used as slow release fertilizer for different type of plant. All of samples were analyzed by using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The results of the experiments reported here demonstrate that is possible to adjust the release of phosphate from the fertilizer to phosphate demand of the plant.

In 2023, La Niña conditions that generally prevailed in the eastern Pacific Ocean from mid-2020 into early 2023 gave way to a strong El Niño by October. Atmospheric concentrations of Earth’s major greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—all increased to record-high levels. The annual global average carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere rose to 419.3±0.1 ppm, which is 50% greater than the pre-industrial level. The growth from 2022 to 2023 was 2.8 ppm, the fourth highest in the record since the 1960s. The combined short-term effects of El Niño and the long-term effects of increasing levels of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere contributed to new records for many essential climate variables reported here. The annual global temperature across land and oceans was the highest in records dating as far back as 1850, with the last seven months (June–December) having each been record warm. Over land, the globally averaged temperature was also record high. Dozens of countries reported record or near-record warmth for the year, including China and continental Europe as a whole (warmest on record), India and Russia (second warmest), and Canada (third warmest). Intense and widespread heatwaves were reported around the world. In Vietnam, an all-time national maximum temperature record of 44.2°C was observed at Tuong Duong on 7 May, surpassing the previous record of 43.4°C at Huong Khe on 20 April 2019. In Brazil, the air temperature reached 44.8°C in Araçuaí in Minas Gerais on 20 November, potentially a new national record and 12.8°C above normal. The effect of rising temperatures was apparent in the cryosphere, where snow cover extent by June 2023 was the smallest in the 56-year record for North America and seventh smallest for the Northern Hemisphere overall. Heatwaves contributed to the greatest average mass balance loss for Alpine glaciers around the world since the start of the record in 1970. Due to rapid volume loss beginning in 2021, St. A

The experiment was conducted to study strain distribution in circular disk of PMMA by photoelasticity in reflection polariscope. The strain in circular disk was induced by two point load created by hydraulic system (535.37-994.63 N) with the step increase of 153.21 N. We added the Babinet compensater in basic reflection polariscope to observe the fractional isochromatic fringe order in the first quadrant of disk and we calculated strain by using stressstrain optic laws. The result showed the relation between absolute of different strain in first quadrant of circular disk and the relation of force with absolute of different strain. It was found that maximum different strain produced at contact area of disk decreased along horizontal and vertical direction. The relation of force with different strain was linear.

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10 (PO4)6(OH)2, HA), is an attractive material of an inorganic compound whose chemical composition and crystallographic structures are similar to the composition of the bone. A natural source such as egg shells is composed of 94 wt. % of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which can be calcined as calcium oxide (CaO) by the calcinations process. The efficient temperature to produce CaO is 900 °C for 2 hours. The synthesis of nano-HA was done by the mixing the diammonium phosphate (DAP) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and subjected into a microwave for 30 minutes at 1100 W irradiation power. Ball milling process was used for 30 minutes to mix the nano-HA with different compositions of titanium. These were pressed to form pallets by hand hydraulic pump (force=2300 psi). The pallets then were sintered at 1200 °C with the heating rate of 3 °C/min for 2 hours. The pallets were tested by several mechanical testing including hardness, compression strength and wear. From the results, HA-25wt. %Ti composite gave the highest hardness, compression and coefficient of friction for wear test values which were 89.6 Hv, 82.5MPa and 0.76μ respectively. It showed that by adding Ti to nano-HA, the mechanical properties of nano-HA could be enhanced. The microstructure analyses by optical micrograph showed that nano-HA-Ti particles displayed shape likes needle morphology. The particles showed the high tendency to form the agglomerations.

Neodymium (Nd 3+ ) doped calcium barium phosphate glasses have been studied in different concentration of Nd 3+ ions. The absorption and luminescence spectra, the Judd–Ofelt (JO) intensity parameters Ω 2,4,6 and other radiative properties, which is radiative transition probabilities ( A R ), stimulated emission cross-sections (σ(λ p ) and branching ratios ( β R ) were calculated. These glass samples have shown strong absorption bands in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) region. The emission spectra of glass samples have exhibited three emission transitions, which are assigned to 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 9/2 , 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 11/2 and 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 13/2 transitions, respectively. Also, the results obtained were compared with reports on similar glasses.
