Integrated bioconversion of starchy and hemicellulosic fractions of macauba oil presscake into ethanol by nonconventional yeasts

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Co‐fermentation of hexoses and pentoses from plant biomass to ethanol is a strategy to increase ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials and add value to residues from agroindustrial chains. The macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) is an oleaginous palm‐tree species considered to contribute to development in some regions of Brazil.

Novel applications of the dispersive optical model

open access: yes, 2016
A review of recent developments of the dispersive optical model (DOM) is presented. Starting from the original work of Mahaux and Sartor, several necessary steps are developed and illustrated which increase the scope of the DOM allowing its ...

Stranger Rape or Impromptu Consensual Sex? Investigating Mock Juror Decision‐Making in a Genuine Contested Rape Trial

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to better understand juror decision‐making in a less typical rape trial scenario where even prior acquaintance is disputed. Adopting an improved mock trial paradigm including a video‐recorded recreation of a genuine rape allegation and jury‐group deliberation, 156 jury‐eligible participants took part in 1 of 13 ...

Unveiling Bias: The Impact of Male Rape Myths and Stereotypes on Juror Verdicts in Male‐on‐Male Rape Trials

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined how male rape myths, racial/ethnicity biases, and sexuality stereotypes influence verdicts in male‐on‐male rape trials—an area that is currently under‐researched. A sample of 463 participants read a mock rape trial, where both the defendant and complainant were male, with defendant ethnicity (White, Black, Asian) and ...

Mechanism of Synergistic Effect of pH and Dissolved Organic Matter in Water on Photochemical Transformation Kinetics of Antibiotics

open access: yesYankuang ceshi
Photochemical transformation is the main way to eliminate antibiotic emerging contaminants in aquatic environments. pH and dissolved organic matter (DOM) are important for photochemical transformation of antibiotics in water, yet their synergistic ...

A Tandem Chemical Vapor Deposition Platform for the Solvent‐Free Synthesis of Polypeptide Architectures

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A solvent‐free, two‐step chemical vapor polymerization enables efficient, substrate‐independent synthesis of surface‐attached polypeptide films. Initiator deposition via CVD is followed by NCA ring‐opening polymerization. Characterization confirms film formation and functionalization, allowing precise micropatterning and bioactive surface design for ...

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Materials Based on a Complex of Oxidovanadium(IV) and Exopolysaccharide Levan in a Model of Insulin Resistance in Mice

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
A low‐toxicity bioactive composition of oxidovanadium(IV) and exopolysaccharide levan is synthesized, characterized, and shown to reduce hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and TyG index in a mice model of dexamethasone‐induced insulin resistance. Bioactive compositions containing vanadium complexes have been a viable strategy for constructing more ...

When Dihedral Angles Mask Denticity in Molecular Conductance

open access: yesChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
This study tests whether higher molecule–electrode denticity increases conductance in single‐molecule junctions. Using nonequilibrium Green's function technique in conjunction with density functional theory simulations and mechanically controlled break‐junction experiments on a tetradentate N‐heterohexacene, it is found that conductance depends mainly ...

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Experimental and Numerical Study on Enhancing the Performance of a Stepped Solar Still Using Porous Sponge Materials

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Three designs were built and tested: a single‐slope still, a six‐stepped still, and a six‐stepped still with 5 mm sponge sheets. The novelty lies in fixing porous sponge sheets to the vertical faces of the steps. Yield of freshwater and instantaneous efficiency were determined in various combinations, that is, base, stepped, and stepped‐cum‐sponge ...
