Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...

Sustainability of Corn Stover Harvest for Biomass [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Off-farm demand for crop residues is expected to grow as bioenergy policies become effective. Demand for residues will provide farmers with an additional source of revenue but it may also trigger losses in soil organic carbon and increases in fertilizer ...

Contracts and Ownership Structures in the Bioeconomy: A Review of Their Design and Role in Innovation

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contracts and ownership structures play a critical role in fostering innovation in the bioeconomy. However, identifying which designs best promote bioresource circularity and collaboration remains challenging, as existing studies use diverse frameworks and are often limited to specific contexts or regions.

Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Intra‐Seasonal Crop Management and the Potential Benefit of Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts: Farm‐Level Embedded Risk Analysis in Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How large is the potential benefit for farmers from obtaining forecasts of total rainfall in the upcoming season? This critically depends on the local farm system and the crop management actions available to farmers to respond to the forecasts issued. Studies assessing the financial value of seasonal precipitation forecasts have so far focused

Effect of biological pretreatment with Trametes hirsuta yj9 on enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this study, a newly isolated Trametes hirsuta yj9 was used to pretreat corn stover in order to enhance enzymatic digestibility. T. hirsuta yj9 preferentially degraded lignin to be as high as 71.49% after 42-day pretreatment.
