Biomass‐Derived Carbon Nanomaterials: Synthesis and Applications in Textile Wastewater Treatment, Sensors, Energy Storage, and Conversion Technologies

open access: yesCleanMat, EarlyView.
Biomass Sources, synthesis techniques, structures, applications, and contribution toward SDG goals of biomass‐derived carbon nanomaterials. ABSTRACT Plant life has dominated this planet from the beginning of time. With over 82% of biomass (BM) coming from plants, primarily trees, plants are the dominant form of life on Earth.

Parsimonious Bayesian Factor Analysis for modelling latent structures in spectroscopy data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
In recent years animal diet has been receiving increased attention, in particular examining the impact of pasture-based feeding strategies on the quality of milk and dairy products, in line with the increased prevalence of grass-fed dairy products appearing on market shelves.

Deep Learning-based Cattle Activity Classification Using Joint Time-frequency Data Representation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Automated cattle activity classification allows herders to continuously monitor the health and well-being of livestock, resulting in increased quality and quantity of beef and dairy products. In this paper, a sequential deep neural network is used to develop a behavioural model and to classify cattle behaviour and activities.

PHYSIOLOGY AND ENDOCRINOLOGY SYMPOSIUM: Uterine infection: linking infection and innate immunity with infertility in the high-producing dairy cow.

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science, 2015
Uterine contamination with bacteria is ubiquitous in the postpartum dairy cow. Nearly one-half of all postpartum dairy cows develop clinical disease resulting in metritis and endometritis, which cause depressed milk production and infertility.

Converting New Zealand Slash into S‐doped Electrode Materials for High‐performance Supercapacitors

open access: yesChemSusChem, Accepted Article.
Slash is a waste product generated from commercial forestry operations. In 2022, flooding slash caused devastating damage when Cyclone Gabrielle directly impacted the Hawke’s Bay region of New Zealand. This study addresses the dual challenges of waste management and sustainable materials development by converting forestry slash into high‐performance ...

Nutritive value of maize silage in relation to dairy cow performance and milk quality.

open access: yesThe Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2015
Maize silage has become the major forage component in the ration of dairy cows over the last few decades. This review provides information on the mean content and variability in chemical composition, fatty acid (FA) profile and ensiling quality of maize ...

Do producer organizations improve trading practices and negotiation power for dairy farms? Evidence from selected EU countries

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue S1, Page 121-137, November 2022., 2022
Abstract This article analyzes the impact of producer organizations (POs) on dairy farmers’ self‐assessed experiences of unfair trading practices (UTPs) and negotiation power. We employ an endogenous switching regression (ESR) model using cross‐sectional survey data collected in four EU countries: France, Germany, Spain, and Poland.

Validation of Biometric Identification of Dairy Cows based on Udder NIR Images [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Identifying dairy cows with infections such as mastitis or cows on medications is an extremely important task and legally required by the FDA$'$s Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. The milk produced by these dairy cows cannot be allowed to mix with the milk from healthy cows or it risks contaminating the entire bulk tank or milk truck.

Pricing efficiency in livestock auction markets: A two‐tier frontier approach

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue S1, Page 139-151, November 2022., 2022
Abstract We estimate the pricing efficiency of a livestock auction market using a two‐tier stochastic frontier model. This model captures pricing inefficiency of a hedonic pricing model for livestock via exponential error terms above and below the hedonic model specification.
