Global Change Modulates Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency: Mechanisms and Impacts on Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics

Global Change Biology
Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a key parameter of initial microbial utilization of organic matter in soil. The responses of CUE to global change factors (GCFs) remain unclear due to their multiple effects and interactions.

Energy Efficient Construction Using Carbon Neutral Blocks

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
The present paper highlights the adoption of carbon neutral building blocks in various structural elements of building to reduce GHG emissions. The Soil-Cement Fly Ash (SCF) blocks developed can be used in masonry, lintels and slab panels to reduce energy to a greater extent. While the energy content of the block developed is zero (carbon neutral), the

Carbon Use Efficiency in Optimal Environments

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1989
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Crop physiologists have often been suprised at the lack of correlation between single leaf photosynthesis and yield. Conversely, canopy photosynthesis is highly correlated with yield. This difference should not be suprising because canopy photosynthesis is an integrated measure of 3 of the 4 physiological ...

Soil carbon formation is promoted by saturation deficit and existing mineral-associated carbon, not by microbial carbon-use efficiency.

Science Advances
Mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) is the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon, yet controls on its formation remain unresolved. Existing MAOC is thought to preclude additional C storage on minerals, but this perspective is difficult to ...

Carbon isotopes and water use efficiency: sense and sensitivity

Oecologia, 2008
We revisit the relationship between plant water use efficiency and carbon isotope signatures (delta(13)C) of plant material. Based on the definitions of intrinsic, instantaneous and integrated water use efficiency, we discuss the implications for interpreting delta(13)C data from leaf to landscape levels, and across diurnal to decadal timescales ...

High efficient carbon dioxides reduction using nonthermal plasma desorption

2017 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, 2017
We develop a highly efficient CO2 reduction treatment system using an adsorbent and a nonthermal plasma flow in the laboratory scale. The plasma reactor consists of twelve surface discharge elements which are energized by a 10 kHz bipolar pulsed high voltage power supply.

Lithological Controls on Soil Aggregates and Minerals Regulate Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency and Necromass Stability.

Environmental Science and Technology
Microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) drives soil C formation, while physical-chemical protection stabilizes subsequent microbial necromass, both shaped by soil aggregates and minerals.

Efficient lactulose production from cheese whey using sodium carbonate

Food Chemistry, 2015
An economical method of lactulose production from cheese whey was developed using sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). Three parameters such as temperature, reaction time, and Na2CO3 concentration were identified as experimental factors, and yield was selected as a response parameter. The experimental factors were optimised employing Response Surface Methodology

Strategies for Efficient Solar Water Splitting Using Carbon Nitride

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, 2017
AbstractGraphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4)‐based photocatalysts are promising for photocatalytic water splitting to produce clean solar fuels due to their low cost, suitable band structure and excellent photocatalytic performance. This review focuses on the state‐of‐the‐art progress of the strategies for modifying g‐C3N4‐based photocatalysts toward ...
