Non-point-source pollution due to loss of phosphate (PO 4 3- -P), nitrate (NO 3 - -N), ammonium (NH 4 + -N), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) from agricultural-lands receiving broiler-litter (BL) has been a serious concern. Although biochar application for reducing such pollution is considered ecofriendly, its efficacy is limited by low-functionality. An attempt was made to engineer biochar for immobilizing these anionic (PO 4 3- -P,...

Bimsoil slope (Bimslope) or Soil-Rock-Mixture slopes are complex geological formations made up of geotechnically important ‘blocks’ enclosed in a finer-textured ‘matrix.’ These geomaterials possess heterogeneous properties owing to changes in the block and matrix properties that can arise from natural weathering processes or various anthropogenic activities. The present study focuses on the stability analysis of a Bimslope und...
