Thermophilic fermentation of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol by a novel
Background Acetoin and 2,3-butanediol are two important biorefinery platform chemicals. They are currently fermented below 40°C using mesophilic strains, but the processes often suffer from bacterial contamination. Results This work reports the isolation

Effect of Varying Levels of Dietary 1, 3 Butanediol on Growing Chicks
Abstract THE incorporation of synthetic nutrients in poultry rations has been limited to amino acids, vitamins and other ingredients not normally classified as energy sources. Within the last few years a new area of study has developed concerning the use of man made compounds as energy contributors in poultry diets.

Fluorine‐Free Soft Nanocomposites for High‐Speed Liquid Impact Repellence
Fluorine‐free soft nanocomposite coatings are developed using silicone oil‐mediated mechanical‐stiffness control, enabling ‘dry’ liquid‐repellent surfaces that resist high‐speed water jet impacts up to ∼60 m/s. By tuning nanoparticle loading and oil content, the coatings also achieve >90% optical transparency, amphiphobicity with impact resistance to ...
