Tailoring Thermophysical Properties and Multiscale Machine Learning Modeling of 2D Nanomaterial‐Infused Beeswax as a Green NePCM for Sustainable Thermal Management Systems

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops eco‐friendly two‐dimensional nanoparticle‐enhanced phase change materials (2D NePCMs) using biodegradable beeswax infused with rGO, GO, and MXene nanoparticles. Experimental results demonstrated up to 21.9% enhancement in thermal conductivity with minimal latent heat loss, while machine learning models achieved >95% predictive ...

The dose makes the poison: have “field realistic” rates of exposure of bees to neonicotinoid insecticides been overestimated in laboratory studies? [PDF]

, 2014
Recent laboratory based studies have demonstrated adverse sub-lethal effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on honey bees and bumble bees, and these studies have been influential in leading to a European Union moratorium on the use of three neonicotinoids,

Gap analysis of nickel bioaccessibility and bioavailability in different food matrices and its impact on the nickel exposure assessment [PDF]

, 2020
The metal nickel is well known to cause nickel allergy in sensitive humans by prolonged dermal contact to materials releasing (high) amounts of nickel. Oral nickel exposure via water and food intake is of potential concern.

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.

The Colonial Official as Ethnographer; VOC Documents as Resources for Social History in Eastern Indonesia [PDF]

, 2012
The present article departs from the inherent problems of grasping the voice of the subaltern other in a colonial context. While postcolonial theoreticians have occasionally spoken pessimistically about the possibilities of reconstructing the agency of ...

Effects of Beeswax Coating on the Oxidative Stability of Long-Ripened Italian Salami

Journal of Food Quality, 2017
Beeswax coating of foods put a barrier to oxygen, light, and vapour that can help to prevent oxidation of fat and pigments and water loss. The amounts of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and water activity (Aw) were assessed in Italian ...
