Equivalence classes of Fibonacci lattices and their similarity properties [PDF]

Phys. Rev. A 94, 023846 (2016), 2016
We investigate, theoretically and experimentally,the properties of diffraction spectra of Fibonacci lattices with arbitrary spacings. We show that, by means of a suitable composition rule, a Fibonacci sequence can be mapped into another one with a different lattice spacing.

CoMPosT: Characterizing and Evaluating Caricature in LLM Simulations [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Recent work has aimed to capture nuances of human behavior by using LLMs to simulate responses from particular demographics in settings like social science experiments and public opinion surveys. However, there are currently no established ways to discuss or evaluate the quality of such LLM simulations. Moreover, there is growing concern that these LLM

Short- and long-term effects of continuous compost amendment on soil microbiome community

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Organic amendment, and especially the use of composts, is a well-accepted sustainable agricultural practice. Compost increases soil carbon and microbial biomass, changes enzymatic activity, and enriches soil carbon and nitrogen stocks.

A Retrospective Analysis of Circular Economy and Industrial Decarbonization Metrics in the United States, 1998–2022

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, EarlyView.
Over two decades of emissions data are analyzed alongside economic indicators for 18 U.S. manufacturing industries. A retrospective analysis highlights interconnectedness (and in some cases, competition) between industrial growth, decarbonization, and materials circularity.

Survival of Salmonella spp. in Composting using Vial and Direct Inoculums Technique [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
The survival of Salmonella spp. as pathogen indicator in composting was studied. The inoculums technique was used to gives the known amounts of Salmonella spp. involved in composting. The inoculums of Salmonella spp. solution was added directly into the compost material. The direct inoculum was compared with inoculums in vial technique.

BRE‐X Emissions Database for End‐of‐Life Scenarios of Selective Building Construction Materials to Enable Circular Economy in Construction

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the United States, construction and demolition debris predominately end up in landfills with minimal end‐of‐life Re‐X (recover, recycle, reuse, etc.) scenarios, resulting in large environmental impacts and lost opportunities for material recovery.

Investigations into the characterization, degradation, and applications of biodegradable polymers by mass spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

Study on the effect of adding nutrients on fermentation of compost tea [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The study investigated the effects of additives (molasses, seaweed, and fishmeal) on compost tea's nutrient content and fermentation characteristics. Compost tea contains a lot of nutrients and can be used as a supplement for soil nutrients.
