Biochar and neem seed cake co-amendment effects on soil nitrogen cycling and NH3 volatilization in contrasting soils

Discover Applied Sciences
In a 28-day incubation study, ball milling technologies were applied to enhance the sorptive and functional properties of pristine biochar. The effect of ball-milled (BM) biochar, neem seed cake, and their co-amendment was evaluated on nitrification ...

Comparison of biochar and Poultry Litter Treatment (PLT) amendments on broiler litter quality and bird performance

Journal of Applied Poultry Research
SUMMARY: Broiler litter management is critical for overall bird health and performance. Poor litter conditions can result in increased ammonia (NH3) volatilization and moisture, which negatively impact bird productivity and welfare.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Easier, Safer, and Greener: Unlocking the Power of Solid Reagents in Organic Reactions by Mechanochemistry

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
This review highlights the powerful synergy between mechanochemistry and solid reagents to replace hazardous substances traditionally used in organic synthesis. Such an approach offers a safer and more sustainable pathway for conducting organic reactions, with potential benefits in both reactivity and selectivity. The use of solid bases, acids, and gas

Recent Advances in Tailoring Active Site Microenvironments of Fe–N–C Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the main factors affecting Fe–N–C catalysts for ORR: activity depends on active site structure, electronic configuration, and porosity, while stability is limited by metal leaching, carbon degradation, and inactive phase formation.

A Michaelis‐Arbuzov‐Type Pathway to a Protected 2ʹ‐Deoxy‐2ʹ‐Selenomethyl‐Adenosine‐3ʹ,5ʹ‐Phosphoroselenolate Guanosine Dinucleotide for Use in Modified m7G Cap Synthesis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Here we report a synthesis of the dinucleotide 4 for a projected future total synthesis of the m7G cap 1. Highlights of the route include: 1) a 3ʹ‐H‐phosphonate/5ʹ‐selenocyanate Michaelis‐Arbuzov coupling to forge the 3ʹ,5ʹ‐phosphoroselenolate; 2) an Amosova reductive selenomethylation to install the 2ʹ‐SeMe; 3) a solid CPR II 5ʹ‐O‐phosphitylation; and

Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Chlorogenic Acid Quantification in Coffee

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) concentration in coffee was predicted using mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy and a machine learning approach. Forty‐four roasting stages (140–220 °C) plus a green coffee control were analyzed. A multilayer perceptron regressor, trained on preprocessed MIR data, outperformed traditional peak analysis, enabling accurate and ...

A Methodology to Integrate Closed‐Cycle Heat Pumps into Batch Distillation Columns

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Batch distillation often cannot use vapor recompression due to contamination risks in food and pharma. This study proposes a design for integrating closed‐loop heat pumps using natural fluids. Results show significant energy savings, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional setups.
