Intensification of Ethiopian coffee agroforestry drives impoverishment of the Arabica coffee flower visiting bee and fly communities

Agroforestry Systems, 2018
Intensively managed shade coffee plantations are expanding in SW Ethiopia, at the cost of the more natural coffee agroforestry systems. Here, we investigated consequences for the potential pollinator community of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) in its natural range.

Optimal model‐based design of experiments for parameter precision: Supercritical extraction case

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the process of chamomile oil extraction from flowers. A parameter‐distributed model consisting of a set of partial differential equations is used to describe the governing mass transfer phenomena in a cylindrical packed bed with solid chamomile particles under supercritical conditions using carbon dioxide as a solvent ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics in water: Improving removal in wastewater treatment plants with alternative coagulants

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.

The Wire Is Not the Territory: Understanding Representational Drift in Olfaction With Dynamical Systems Theory

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Representational drift is a phenomenon of increasing interest in the cognitive and neural sciences. While investigations are ongoing for other sensory cortices, recent research has demonstrated the pervasiveness in which it occurs in the piriform cortex for olfaction.

Natural extracts of soursop flowers, aged green tea leaves, and ginger rhizomes mitigate thermo‐oxidative degradation of palm olein during plantain chip deep‐frying

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Addition of old green tea leaves, soursop flowers and ginger root extract at concentrations 1000, 1400, and 1800 ppm in palm olein significantly extend its shelf‐life during frying of plantain chips. These plants' extracts are potential alternative to the use of synthetic antioxidants in preserving oil quality. Abstract This work was designed to assess

Effect of auxins on flower formation in coffee (Coffea arabica L.)

Biologia Plantarum, 1986
With the aim to reduce the period of flowering and of fruit maturation, we investigated the effect of auxins on flower formation. For these experiments we used young decapitated plants with two plagiotropic branches. Both the auxins, indol-3-ylacetic acid (IAA) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), retarded flower formation in coffee, the latter ...
