Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The world's population is expected to grow rapidly, with the vast majority of people living in urban areas. Closing nutrient loops is therefore increasingly important for food security and environmental stability. In Germany however, the current treatment of organic and green waste and sewage sludge (derived from wastewater) includes ...

A rapid molecular approach to determining the occurrence of pathogen indicators in compost [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 An accurate method for enumerating pathogen indicators, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Salmonella spp. is important for assessing the safety of compost samples. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of pathogen indicators in compost samples by using a molecular approach known as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Agroindustrial activity generates substantial waste during harvesting and processing. This study investigated the potential use of sugarcane bagasse, corn cob husk, and wheat bran as substrates for enzyme production by Aspergillus niger and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. Aspergillus niger and C. subvermispora exhibited comparable filter paperase

Understanding Compositional Structures in Art Historical Images using Pose and Gaze Priors [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Image compositions as a tool for analysis of artworks is of extreme significance for art historians. These compositions are useful in analyzing the interactions in an image to study artists and their artworks. Max Imdahl in his work called Ikonik, along with other prominent art historians of the 20th century, underlined the aesthetic and semantic ...

How Companies Move to Circularity: Internal Reorganizing and Adjustment of External Collaboration
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms in various industries strive to narrow, slow down, and close resource flows, moving toward a circular economy (CE). We theorize that the transformation of established companies toward CE includes two critical interconnected dimensions—adjustment of external collaboration relationships and internal reorganization.
