Integrated biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol and spherical nanolignin production from coconut waste

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Green coconut waste was subjected to different fractionation methods to obtain integrated lignin nanoparticles and cellulosic ethanol. Pretreatment with gradual addition of dilute sulfuric acid provided a higher structural hemicellulose precursor yield (68.2%).

Modeling Foliar Infection Dynamics in Wheat Using a SEIR Framework: Effects of Seed Treatment and Foliar Fungicide Under Mediterranean Conditions

Agrochemicals
The foliar pathogens of wheat, particularly Zymoseptoria tritici and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, represent a significant threat to yield. We used a SEIR (Susceptible–Exposed–Infected–Removed) model to quantify epidemic dynamics based on different ...

Stakeholder‐Driven Food Policy and Multilevel Governance for Agri‐Food Systems Resilience: Integrating Climate Change, Food Security, and Biodiversity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐resilient food systems require simultaneously addressing climate mitigation, food security, and biodiversity conservation. Yet most policy frameworks treat these interdependent goals as separate challenges, fragmenting action across sectors.
