The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Magnetic biochar (MBC) is a novel bio‐metallic composite material with high potential in sustainable water cleaning. Iron anchoring is critical in forming iron‐based MBC and will fundamentally impact its characteristics and functionality in dye removal applications. However, the mechanism is not well‐revealed.

A first assessment of genetic variability in the longhorn beetle Rosalia alpina (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from the Italian Apennines [PDF]
, 2018 The Rosalia longicorn (Rosalia alpina) is a strictly protected saproxylic beetle, widely distributed in Central and Southern Europe and mainly associated with ancient beech forests. To improve knowledge about the conservation status of R. alpina in Italy,

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Microwave‐assisted polyol synthesis in continuous flow produces metallic Cu nanoparticles, using ethylene glycol as solvent and reducing agent, lignin to stabilize the colloid and prevent oxidation, and metal‐seeds for particle size control. Metallic copper nanoparticles are a promising alternative to gold and silver in printed electronics due to their

A Disjunctive Conception of Acting for Reasons [PDF]
, 2008 A disjunctivist conception of acting for reasons is introduced by way of showing that a view of acting for reasons must give a place to knowledge. Two principal claims are made. 1.

Deriving the Charring Rate of a Wood Fibre Insulation Board by Exposure to the ISO 834 Standard Fire
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wood fibre insulation boards (WFIB) are widely used combustible building materials, commonly applied in energy‐efficient construction for their thermal and hygric performance. The present study investigates the behaviour of the most common type of wood fibre insulation when exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire.

Properties of dissolved and total organic matter in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor leachate of central European forests [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 We present the first investigation of the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) compared to total organic matter (TOM, consisting of DOM, < 0.45 μm and particulate organic matter 0.45 μm < POM < 500 μm) in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Drivers of wood‐inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests
Ecology and EvolutionThe hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). To

Improvement of seed germination of Fagus orientalis Lipsky [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis was seeking two main approaches for improvement of seed germination of oriental beech, a timber producing species in Hyrcanian forests in northern Iran. Germination behavior of beechnuts was enhanced either by decreasing the dormancy breakage
