Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Health risks for human intake of aquacultural fish : Arsenic bioaccumulation and contamination

, 2011
Aquacultural tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus L.) and shrimp (Penaeus monodon L.) from groundwater-cultured ponds in southwestern Taiwan were analyzed to estimate arsenic (As) bioaccumulation and the potential health risk to human intake.

Effects of preservatives and poisons on the elemental and isotopic composition of freshwater particulate organic matter

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Sediment traps, often used in tandem with preservatives or poisons, are widely used for the collection of particulate organic matter (POM), providing insight into the source to sink mechanisms that shape major biogeochemical cycles and sedimentary carbon sequestration.

Degradable Nanocarriers Capable of Gene Delivery Derived from pH‐Responsive Polyester: RROP Copolymerization Between Cyclic Ketene Acetals

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Polyesters with inherent pH‐sensitivity are prepared through radical ring‐opening polymerization between cyclic ketene acetals. These polyesters demonstrate great potential as alternatives to conventional polycations for fabricating hybrid nanoparticles.

Sustainable Metal Recovery From E‐Waste: Exploring Greener Leachates in Hydrometallurgical Processes

MetalMat, EarlyView.
Recycling of electronic waste to synthesize valuable metals using green leachate. ABSTRACT The accumulation of electronic waste (e‐waste) poses environmental hazards and leads to the loss of valuable metals such as gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements.

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...
