Projections of water availability in the near future are increasingly worrisome due to climate change. It is, therefore, high time to seek and develop technologies that would guarantee water availability in the future. In this respect, desalination of seawater is one of the most important alternatives, as specific attention needs to be directed at improving the existing techniques of it. This is why updating information about new achievements for researchers is so important in improving such technologies. This comprehensive review article analyzes advancements in seawater desalination through a bibliometric study encompassing 8523 scientific papers published from 1966 to 2023. The analysis identifies eight key research areas, highlighting significant improvements in energy efficiency and membrane technology. The review examines innovative approaches, including the application of nanopart...

Organic production is nowadays more important for the care of the environment. Therefore, fresh horticultural products such as green beans produced with organic compost are healthier and are influenced by their sensory characteristics. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of organic compost on the biometric characteristics of fruits and leaves, texture, and sensory attributes of fresh green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), as assessed by consumers. A completely randomized design (CRD) with five experimental treatments with different levels of organic compost was used. The results show the direct influence of the level of organic compost concentration on foliar characteristics, as the concentration of compost increases, its chemical properties are increased. However, there is no direct influence on biometric, firmness, physical-chemical, and color characteristics. The S...
