Optimizing feather hydrolysate via machine learning for microbial recycling of waste concrete fines

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The concrete industry faces significant challenges from CO2 emissions and the disposal of waste concrete fines (WCF). Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) can bind WCF into bioconcrete, but the high cost of commercial culture media hinders its application.

The Single, the Whole, and the Pooled: Implications of Tissue Choice for Stable Isotope Analysis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the exciting era of non‐invasive tissue sampling and data reuse via open access databases, it is increasingly challenging to ensure comparability of sample types for stable isotope analysis in ecology. According to the theoretical predictions about the changes in the stable isotope values between prey and consumers and tissue turnover rates,

The Art of Reception: Field Visits as Microcosms for Development Interventions of Non‐Governmental Organisations in Uganda

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

Organizational Structure Dimensions and Their Impact on JVs and Acquisitions

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managers pursuing transformational growth through inorganic routes typically rely on joint ventures and acquisitions, basing their choices on factors such as target availability, risk propensity, and desired control over operations. This paper theorizes that managers can increase the likelihood of success in such transformations by aligning ...

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Evaluation of food safety in the handling of home enteral nutrition based on a new contamination risk classification: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Home enteral nutrition (HEN) offers clinical benefits and is increasingly used, although handling‐related health risks remain unclear. This study assessed food safety in HEN using a new contamination risk classification. Methods First, the inter‐rater reliability of the Food Safety for Handling HEN checklist was analyzed in 25 ...
