Bioreceptivity of building stones: A review

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2012
In 1995, Guillitte defined bioreceptivity, a new term in ecology, as the ability of a material to be colonized by living organisms. Information about the bioreceptivity of stone is of great importance since it will help us to understand the material properties which influence the development of biological colonization in the built environment, and will

Biocarbon from peanut hulls and their green composites with biobased poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
There are millions of tons of post-food processing residues discarded annually. Currently, these waste materials are discarded to landfill, used as animal feed or incinerated. This suggests that there are potential uses for these materials in value-added

Biodegradable Blown Film Composites from Bioplastic and Talc: Effect of Uniaxial Stretching on Mechanical and Barrier Properties

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2023
As public awareness about climate change grows, there is an increase in the research on bioplastic packaging films. This is the first‐ever scientific report on uniaxially stretched biobased‐polybutylene succinate‐co‐adipate (BioPBSA) and talc (15 and 25 ...

Surface consolidation of natural stone materials using microbial induced calcite precipitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Natural stone tends to have high porosity and is easily eroded by environmental weathering. In recent years, industrialisation has caused an acceleration of stone decay due to the toxic by-products of industry breaking down the stones’ constituents ...

Underutilized Agricultural Co-Product as a Sustainable Biofiller for Polyamide 6,6: Effect of Carbonization Temperature

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Polyamide 6,6 (PA66)-based biocomposites with low-cost carbonaceous natural fibers (i.e., soy hulls, co-product from soybean industry) were prepared through twin-screw extrusion and injection molding.

Expanded uncertainty modeling of the uranium isotope dilution standards

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2021
In this paper, a statistical uranium isotope dilution mass spectrometry approach is presented to simulate the wide range of spike-sample mixed ratios of 235U/238U, in terms of their related expanded uncertainties and uncertainty budget indexes. To obtain

Characterization of Wastes and Coproducts from the Coffee Industry for Composite Material Production

open access: yesBioResources, 2016
This study characterizes and compares coffee chaff (CC) and spent coffee grounds (SCG), the two most useful coffee waste products, and evaluates their performance as fillers and/or reinforcing agents in polymer composites.

Assessing feed efficiency in beef steers through feeding behavior, infrared thermography and glucocorticoids*

open access: yesAnimal, 2010
A better understanding of the factors regulating feed efficiency and their potential as predictors of feed efficiency in cattle is needed. Therefore, the potential of three classes of traits, namely, feeding behavior characteristics: daily time at feeder
