Torrefaction of biomass: influence of operating conditions on products and grindability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Biomass is a renewable fuel, increasingly considered as an important resource for alternative fuels with significant environmental advantages. Thermo-chemical conversion of biomass is a mean to produce energy and to reduce greenhouse gases.

High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Environmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts.

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.

The Impact of Fibre Oxidation on the Preparation of Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC)

open access: yesBiomass, 2022
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fibre oxidation on the extent of substituted sulfate on cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). In this investigation, fully bleached softwood (SW) and hardwood (HW) pulps from an Alberta pulp mill were oxidized under low
