Effects of composting manures and other organic wastes on soil processes and pest and disease interactions [PDF]

, 2003
Introduction Composts and manures are of major importance in providing fertility in organic farming systems, since synthetic fertilisers are prohibited. It is understood that composts have radically different nutrient release characteristics to those of

Astrocytic Mitochondria Transplantation Rescues Neuron Loss and Dendritic Injuries in Acute Cerebral Ischemic Stroke Mouse Model by Flexibly Regulating Mitochondria Dynamics

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Cerebral ischemic stroke causes neuronal oxygen/energy deprivation, disrupting mitochondrial function including reduced membrane potential and bioenergetics, exacerbating neuronal injury. Mitochondrial defects are, therefore, a central neuropathological node and potential therapeutic target.

Characterisation of untreated and treated biodegradable wastes [PDF]

, 2007
As part of a Defra sponsored project (WRT220), approximately 40 biodegradable wastes were characterised according to biodegradability (DR4 and BM100), total PTE content, C:N ratio and biochemical composition.

Human Leukocyte Elastase Triggered Nanoparticles for Targeted Antimicrobial Delivery and Oral Microbial Modulation

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study explores enzyme‐responsive nanoparticles for targeted antimicrobial release in inflamed oral environments. Nanoparticles formed by complexing peptides and chlorhexidine respond to human leukocyte elastase and release chlorhexidine selectively. P7 (ECAAPVCE)‐based formulations show optimal properties and stability, with antimicrobial activity

Climatic, edaphic, and biotic controls over storage and turnover of carbon in soils [PDF]

, 1994
Soil carbon, a major component of the global carbon inventory, has significant potential for change with changing climate and human land use. We applied the Century ecosystem model to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine

Mechanism of Hydrogen Sulfide Generation and Prevention Strategies in Oil and Gas Fields: A Case Study of the Sickle Bay Operation Area

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the persistent exceedance of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations and the limited effectiveness of existing treatments in the Sickle Bay oil production area, this study deeply analyzes the mechanism of H2S generation in the Sickle Bay oil production area and proposes targeted prevention and control strategies. The results show that

Modeling impacts of changes in temperature and water table on C gas fluxes in an Alaskan peatland [PDF]

, 2015
Northern peatlands have accumulated a large amount of organic carbon (C) in their thick peat profile. Climate change and associated variations in soil environments are expected to have significant impacts on the C balance of these ecosystems, but the ...
