Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

The potential of cashew by-product processing for a more sustainable agri-food system

Discover Sustainability
In most cashew-producing countries, cashew apples, by-products of cashew nut production, remain largely unused despite their nutritional value. Similarly, cashew nut shells, a by-product of nut processing, are often wasted, even though they contain a ...

Agricultural Trade Integration in The Eastern Nile Basin: Trade Intensity, Complementarity, Concentration and Value-Added Structure. [PDF]

Fayoum Journal of Agricultural Research and Development
Agricultural trade can transform differences in production structures and resource endowments into regional food-security gains, but trade flows alone do not necessarily indicate effective economic integration.

Agricultural multifunctionality and trade liberalisation. [PDF]

Cahiers d'Economie et sociologie rurales, 2007
Les auteurs utilisent un modèle de commerce international en équilibre partiel pour analyser les interactions entre politiques tarifaire et environnementale en présence de bénéfices liés au caractère multifonctionnel de l’agriculture. Ils montrent que la libéralisation des échanges est sous-optimale si elle ne s’accompagne pas d’une politique ...

Electrolyte Engineering Challenges and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Aqueous Ammonium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries (AAIBs) face a hydrogen‐bond paradox: the HB network enables fast NH4+ transport but triggers water decomposition. This review dissects this dilemma, evaluates multiple electrolyte engineering strategies, and outlines four future directions for next‐generation AAIB design ABSTRACT Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries (AAIBs ...
