In order to improve the survival rate of transplanted seedlings and improve the efficiency of seedling transplantation, we developed an environmental friendly polymer konjac glucomannan (KGM)/chitosan (CA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) ternary blend soil consolidation agent to consolidate the soil ball at the root of transplanted seedlings. In the previous research, we found that although the prepared KGM/CA/PVA ternary blend soil consolidation agent can consolidate the soil ball at the root of the seedling, the medium solid content of the adhesive was high, which affects its spraying at the root of the seedling. At the same time, the preparation temperature of the KGM/CA/PVA ternary blend was also high. Therefore, to reduce the energy consumption and the cost of the KGM/CA/PVA ternary blend soil consolidation agent in the preparation process, this paper studied the influence of preparation conditions on the application performance of the environmental friendly polymer soil consolidation agent. We aimed to reduce the highest value CA content and preparation temperature of the KGM/CA/PVA ternary blend adhesive on the premise of ensuring the consolidation performance of the KGM/CA/PVA ternary blend adhesive on soil balls. It was prepared for the popularization and application of the environmental friendly polymer KGM/CA/PVA ternary blend soil consolidation agent in seedling transplanting. Through this study, it was found that the film-forming performance of the adhesive was better when the KGM content was 4.5%, the CA content was in the range of 2–3%, the PVA content was in the range of 3–4%, and the preparation temperature was higher than 50 °C. The polymer soil consolidation agent prepared under this condition has a good application prospect in seedling transplanting.
A large number of online education platforms in China has greatly facilitated the development of online education by allowing people to access quality educational resources at all times. Enhancing student engagement can effectively realize their learning efficiency and improve the overall learning process performance and final learning performance. Peer assessment generally requires learners to engage in a range of cognitive activities, such as critical thinking, monitoring, and reflecting, and has a positive and significant contribution to learning performance. In this study, an argumentative model of student engagement affecting learning performance was constructed, and the role of peer assessment engagement as a moderating variable in student engagement involving learning performance was analyzed. Results show that behavioral engagement and cognitive engagement can significantly contribute to learning performance. Peer assessment plays a moderating role in learning engagement, significantly contributing to learning performance. The average value of students’ final learning performance is significantly higher than that of midterm performance. Conclusions are valuable for improving the accuracy of peer assessment results, promoting learners’ reflection on learning, and constructing online peer assessment models based on learning behavior data.
Transplanting trees with rhizospheric soil is an important way to facilitate tree survival in the process of landscaping and reforestation. Traditional way to prevent looseness of rhizospheric soil is forming soil balls around the roots with bags, boxes or rope wrapping, which is cumbersome, laborious and easy to break. This study is aimed to develop a new type of degradable environment-friendly polymer as soil consolidation agent to facilitate tree transplanting. In this paper, the KGM/CA/PVA ternary blending soil consolidation agent was prepared by using Konjac glucomannan (KGM), chitosan (CA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as raw materials. Through the verification and evaluation, the clay and sandy soil can be consolidated and formed into soil balls by the ternary blend adhesive, which was convenient for transportation. The preliminary application of the ternary blend adhesive in the transplanting process of sierra salvia, Japanese Spindle (Euonymus japonicus) and Juniperus sabina ‘Tamaricifolia’ confirmed that the application of soil consolidation agent can effectively solve the problem that the root ball of seedling is easily broken in the process of transplant. And the application of soil consolidation agent has no adverse effect on the growth of transplanted seedlings. The research and development of ternary blending soil consolidation agent and its preliminary application in seedling transplanting will provide a new solution to solve the problem of soil ball breakage in the process of seedling transplanting. This is an important stage in the development of new seedling transplanting technology. Therefore, the research and development of soil consolidation agent is of great significance.
