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.

Correlated Transient Response of Buried Cables and Lightning Channel Radiation of Return Strokes of Five Rocket‐Triggered Lightning Strikes

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data from five rocket‐triggered lightning flashes are adopted to analyse the correlated transient response of buried cables and lightning channel radiations. These five flashes have the same termination point that is right above the buried cables and involve a total of 32 return strokes.

Can I Have a Bite? The Influence of Infant Begging on Food Sharing in Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus Libidinosus). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Food sharing between mother and offspring in capuchin monkeys is a response to the infant's begging. Infants solicit more frequently high‐quality and hard‐to‐process foods and they are more likely to succeed when they are older and if the food item is not a lizard. ABSTRACT In primates, food sharing from mothers to infants may serve two main functions:
