Nitrogen Management in Crop–Soil–Environment Systems: Pathways Toward Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Szilvia Veres Zed Rengel Tarek Alshaal Nevien Elhawat

Publication Name: International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Publication Date: 2026-03-01

Volume: 27

Issue: 5

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy metal toxicity severely constrain plant productivity worldwide. Nitrogen (N), beyond its fundamental nutritional role, has emerged as a central regulator of plant stress responses through its involvement in metabolic reprogramming, osmotic adjustment, antioxidant defense, and hormonal signaling. This review synthesizes current advances in understanding how nitrogen availability and form influence plant tolerance to major abiotic stresses. Particular emphasis is placed on nitrogen-mediated modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging systems, nitrogen–carbon metabolic coordination, phytohormonal crosstalk, osmoprotectant biosynthesis, and regulation of stress-responsive gene expression. Recent molecular insights highlight the role of nitrogen transporters, nitrate signaling pathways, and nitrogen-use efficiency in stress adaptation mechanisms. Furthermore, agronomic and biotechnological strategies aimed at optimizing nitrogen management to enhance stress resilience are discussed, including precision fertilization, integrated nutrient management, and genetic approaches targeting nitrogen-responsive regulatory networks. By integrating physiological, biochemical, and molecular perspectives, this review provides a comprehensive framework for understanding nitrogen-driven mitigation strategies under abiotic stress conditions and outlines future research directions for sustainable crop production in changing environments.

Comparison of Hydrogen Related Policies and Achievements between Latin America and Europe

András Torma Péter Németh Susana Pérez Milicua Mendoza

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 114

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 991-996

Description:

Hydrogen, and green hydrogen will be one of the dominant energy sources of the future, the application of which will support the achievement of existing decarbonisation targets and contribute to the smooth integration of renewables into energy infrastructure based on its energy storage characteristics. The goal of this study is to compare hydrogen-related policies and achievements between Latin America and Europe. The research employs a comprehensive literature review to assess existing policy frameworks, technological advancements, and economic impacts in both regions. Preliminary findings indicate that while Europe has developed a more structured and well-funded hydrogen economy, Latin America shows great potential due to its renewable energy resources but lags in policy coordination and investment. The significance of this work lies in identifying key gaps and opportunities, aiming to provide policy recommendations that can enhance hydrogen development strategies in both regions, ultimately contributing to global decarbonization efforts.

Car Simulator Study for the Development of a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Dashboard Concept

Péter Földesi Gabor Kovacs Viktor Nagy Ágoston Pál Sándor

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2023-01-01

Volume: 107

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 415-420

Description:

In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS) have evolved with the integration of advanced technologies like touchscreens, enhancing vehicle functionality and infotainment features. However, the development of sustainable and user-centric dashboard interfaces embracing the Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) concept remains limited. This research aims to explore the usability, advantages, and disadvantages of the BYOD concept within the context of IVIS. Specifically, it investigated the control of the onboard air conditioning system and selected Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functions. To accomplish this, a complex simulation environment using Unity, Blender, and C# was developed. Eye-tracking technology was utilized to record participants' gaze patterns and attention allocation during experimental tasks. Following the simulation, participants provided subjective usability assessments of the system through questionnaires. The integration of a mobile phone with a suitable user interface as part of the BYOD concept generally led to enhanced usability and reduced distraction. This study underscores the potential benefits of integrating the BYOD concept into IVIS, emphasizing improved usability, sustainability, and user-friendliness. These findings hold significance for advancing the design of user-centric, sustainable interfaces in automotive technology.

A rapid and efficient DNA isolation method for qPCR-based detection of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in milk

Balázs Ásványi K. Szenthe István Gyurján Barbara Bánkuti Bettina Pancza Zsófia Sipos-Kozma Miklós Szathmáry Zoltán Tudós F. Bánáti Susan Szathmary László Stipkovits László Varga

Publication Name: Food Control

Publication Date: 2021-12-01

Volume: 130

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The objective of this study was to find an efficient, rapid, simple, and cost-effective method of pretreating raw milk samples to produce PCR-ready DNA for subsequent microbial detection using the strains of eight bacterial species. A total of 17 in-house protocols and three commercial kits were evaluated in three steps from scientific, practical, and economic perspectives. The results showed that an in-house procedure involving Triton X-100-based pretreatment and an inhibitor removal resin was superior to all other methods tested in terms of DNA yield, sensitivity, ease of sample handling, time efficiency, and cost per sample. Overall, this simplified preanalytical protocol was shown to have a great potential for use in rapid detection of dairy-related bacterial species, thereby enabling early intervention in the food chain and thus reducing the risk of negative economic and health outcomes.

Noise assisted high performance linear inductive distance sensor

Zoltán Pólik Zoltán Kántor

Publication Name: Przeglad Elektrotechniczny

Publication Date: 2014-12-01

Volume: 2014

Issue: 12

Page Range: 123-126

Description:

A temperature compensated linear inductive distance sensor assisted by added noise is demonstrated. The mixed signal processing algorithm performs an effective interpolation over a low-resolution two-dimensional calibration table addressed directly by the digitized noise-affected signals of distance and temperature sensing modules without further arithmetic operations. The table entries are directly passed to the output digital-to-analog converter. The output noise will be cancelled by the intrinsic low-pass behavior of the power output stage. The operation distance, the linearity parameters, as well as the performance of the sensor exceed the standard of the respective industrial products.

Cyclical inverse interpolation: An approach for the inverse interpolation of black-box models using tensor product representations

Adam Csapo

Publication Name: Asian Journal of Control

Publication Date: 2021-05-01

Volume: 23

Issue: 3

Page Range: 1301-1312

Description:

This paper proposes a novel approach to inverse interpolating black-box models, referred to as the cyclical inverse interpolation method (CIIM). The approach relies on the use of a multivariate surrogate function, expressed as a tensor product (TP) model, to systematically generate candidate inputs to the given black-box model with the goal of obtaining interpolated outputs. While the proposed approach is largely agnostic as to the form of this surrogate function, some of its properties, such as the semantics of its input dimensions with respect to the black box model, are constructively defined. The paper demonstrates the viability of the proposed approach both from a theoretical perspective and through numerical examples. Based on these results, it is argued that the approach can be used for the exploratory identification of black-box models that have scalar-valued outputs and can be particularly useful in working with black-box models that have a large number of inputs and exhibit highly nonlinear behavior.
