Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was

ADSORÇÃO DE CONTAMINANTES DO BIODIESEL POR FIBRAS DE BAGAÇO MODIFICADAS NA SUPERFÍCIE

Química Nova
Sugarcane bagasse fibers chemically modified on its surface were used to adsorb contaminants from biodiesel. Two biodiesel samples were used as adsorbates: crude and washed biodiesel.

Investigating the cyclic breaking of butyl-, methyl- and ethyl-biodiesel from waste vegetable oil using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry

Cogent Engineering, 2017
The main advantage of biodiesel to fossil-diesel is attributed to the ester functional group in its structure. Many researchers have affirmed that the functional group assists the diesel engine to function at its peak.

Assessing the Effects of Biodiesel Production on Sustainability: A Bayesian Two‐Stage Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable development transforms production systems, requiring integrated environmental, social, and economic strategies. Energy systems are key agro‐industrial supply chains in developing countries. Brazil's soybean supply chain impacts Gross Domestic Product, mainly through exports.

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Artificial Neural Network Surrogate Modelling for Predicting and Optimising CO2 Conversion to Methanol Under Uncertainty

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a data‐driven surrogate modelling framework that combines an artificial neural network (ANN) with particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimise methanol production under uncertain conditions.

Including Harvested Grain Biogenic CO2 to Address a Critical Flaw in Climate Accounting

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international climate accounting system excludes both the biogenic CO2 sequestered in harvested crops and the biogenic CO2 emissions that occur when grain is digested or burned as biofuel. Despite being described in the literature as a critical flaw in climate accounting all parties within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
