The untapped power of a general theory of organismal metabolism [PDF]

arXiv
What makes living things special is how they manage matter, energy, and entropy. A general theory of organismal metabolism should therefore be quantified in these three currencies while capturing the unique way they flow between individuals and their environments. We argue that such a theory has quietly arrived -- 'Dynamic Energy Budget' (DEB) theory --

Review of recent advances in the design, synthesis, and modification of biochar for remediation of heavy metal pollution in water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Research frontiers in using biochar for heavy metal remediation. Abstract Heavy metal contamination of water has long been a serious environmental issue. Biochar and biochar‐based composites are emerging as effective and sustainable solutions for heavy metal removal due to their strong adsorption abilities and environmentally friendly nature.

Spatial moment dynamics and biomass density equations provide complementary, yet limited, descriptions of pattern formation in individual-based simulations [PDF]

arXiv
Spatial patterning is common in ecological systems and has been extensively studied via different modeling approaches. Individual-based models (IBMs) accurately describe nonlinear interactions at the organism level and the stochastic spatial dynamics that drives pattern formation, but their computational cost scales quickly with system complexity ...

Controlling Lampenflora in Heritage Sites: In Situ Testing of Polyoxometalate–Ionic Liquids in the Pommery Champagne Cellar

ChemPlusChem, EarlyView.
The article evaluates polyoxometalate–ionic liquids (POM–ILs) as biocidal agents against lampenflora in the UNESCO‐listed Pommery Champagne cellar. POM–ILs effectively inhibit microbial colonization over one year with minimal visual impact and outperform the commercial biocide Preventol RI80.

Learning Strategies from Nature's Blueprint to Cyclic Carbonate Synthesis

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The development of sustainable synthetic methods for cyclic carbonates draws inspiration from nature, focusing on eco‐friendly processes and renewable resources like CO2 and biomass. This review explore various CO2 activation mechanisms, green chemistry principles, and green catalysts.

Multigram‐Scale Organic Synthesis by Resonant Acoustic Mixing: Application to the Sustainable Preparation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
Knoevenagel condensation, Biginelli three‐component reaction and benzylic rearrangement are investigated at multi‐gram scale, by resonance acoustic mixing (RAM), to prepare biologically active molecules, also including the marketed Phenytoin (antiepileptic drug). Chem21 and DOZN 3.0 tools were used to assess the greenness of the RAM‐assisted syntheses,

Converting New Zealand Slash into S‐Doped Electrode Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
This study transforms forestry slash waste into high‐performance sulfur‐doped carbon electrodes via hydrothermal sulfurization. The resulting material (C‐HS‐New Zealand Slash (NZS)) exhibits high capacitance (148 F g−1) and energy density (15.3 Wh kg−1).

Why aren't we teaching this? Smart local energy systems and the young person's perspective

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract With the UK government's target of Net Zero by 2050, alongside the rising cost of energy in the UK, it is imperative that public opinion aligns with and promotes affordable, greener energy systems. Within this dialogue, young people's voices and lived experience are needed to deepen the impact of energy policy intervention strategies.

Morphological Profiling of Imaging Flow Cytometry Data Uncovers Heterogeneity in Infected Gephyrocapsa huxleyi Cultures

Cytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phytoplankton, such as the coccolitophore Gephyrocapsa huxleyi (G. huxleyi), has a major ecological impact through photosynthesis—the production of oxygen and organic material. A significant threat to G. huxleyi populations is viral infection with the specific Gephyrocapsa huxleyi virus (GhV).
