Sustainable Business Assessment of Remanufacturing Waste Cooking Oil to Produce Biodiesel

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
To replace fossil diesel, biodiesel is produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils. To improve the environmental sustainability, biodiesel can be produced using waste cooking oil (WCO). To highlight to broad relevance of this process, we analyzed the sustainability of WCO‐derived biodiesel based on commercial industrial‐scale machinery and ...

Sustainable materials systems for triboelectric nanogenerator

SusMat, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2024.
To address environmental issues, the development of biodegradable material‐based TENGs is a sustainable trend. It can be concluded that natural materials and biodegradable synthetic materials can act as reliable tribomaterials in energy harvesting and self‐powered sensing. Sustainable material‐based TENGs can get rid of short‐comings as well as play an

Ultrastructure and Function of the Stalk Gland Complex of Pompholyx faciemlarva (Rotifera: Monogononta)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.
Pompholyx mother possesses the rare ability to change the tension on the secreted thread, which alters the proximity of the egg with respect to her body. The two‐headed gland secretes a single, long, electron‐dense thread that traverses the duct and attaches to the egg surface through the cloaca. A set of retractors and protractors muscles connected to

Reproductive ecology and egg parasitism of the Samoan swallowtail butterfly

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract We investigated the reproductive ecology and effects of egg parasitism on the Samoan swallowtail butterfly (Papilio godeffroyi), which survives only on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, after having disappeared from the much larger islands of Upolu and Savai‘i in independent Samoa.

Low microbial abundance and community diversity in the egg capsule of the oviparous cloudy catshark (Scyliorhinus torazame) during oviposition

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2024.
This research reveals that embryos of the oviparous cloudy catshark (Scyliorhinus torazame) acquire pathogen resistance by Stage 30. The intracapsular environment of freshly laid eggs exhibits low microbial abundance and diversity. This clean environment persists until the early opening of the capsule, suggesting its critical role in protecting ...

Effect of Insecticide Exposure Across Multiple Generations of the Earthworm Eisenia andrei

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 2058-2070, September 2024.
Abstract The toxicity of neonicotinoids and many of their replacement insecticides to nontarget soil invertebrates such as earthworms has previously been established. However, the long‐term effects of these substances on these organisms are largely unknown.

Orsay Virus Infection in Caenorhabditis elegans

Current Protocols, Volume 4, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Orsay virus infection in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans presents an opportunity to study host‐virus interactions in an easily culturable, whole‐animal host. Previously, a major limitation of C. elegans as a model for studying antiviral immunity was the lack of viruses known to naturally infect the worm.

A review on mechanisms and impacts of cold plasma treatment as a non‐thermal technology on food pigments

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1502-1527, March 2024.
Cold plasma (CP) is a novel non‐thermal food processing method. Color is one of the most important indicators of the quality of a product. Many studies reported that CP did not alter natural food pigments. The mechanisms of CP on the food color products are reported. Abstract Food characteristics like appearance and color, which are delicate parameters

The influence of incubation temperature on offspring traits varies across northern and southern populations of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
The influence of incubation temperature, not maternal provisioning, varies across populations of the American alligator. Responses to incubation temperature are a larger source of interpopulation trait variation relative to maternal provisioning and may be more likely to be modified by selection.
