Sustainable Palm Oil Extraction and Trends in the Use of Green Technologies: State‐of‐the‐Art and Future Directions

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palm oil, which is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the Elaeis guineensis Jacq. palm tree, is the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world. The extraction of this substance typically utilizes the conventional pressing method, a technique that is advantageous due to its low operating cost and simplified process.

Changing a Winning Team—Replacement of Brominated Flame Retardant and Antimony Trioxide in Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This comprehensive study investigates reducing the amount of brominated flame retardant (Br) and/or antimony trioxide (ATO) in acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene. Therefore, condensed‐phase flame‐retardant mechanisms are introduced into the flame‐inhibition system.

ontophylo: Reconstructing the evolutionary dynamics of phenomes using new ontology‐informed phylogenetic methods

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Reconstructing ancestral states for discrete characters is essential for understanding trait evolution in organisms. However, most existing methods are limited to individual characters and often overlook the hierarchical and interactive nature of traits.

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Predisposed vulnerabilities and survival among the Finnish soldiers of World War II: historical life course approach

Frontiers in Sociology
In this methodological paper we propose a historical life course approach to analyze soldiers’ predispositions to experience war-related violence and stress and to respond to it.

Does salinity make a difference—Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

Finnish Ospreys 1971–2017: Conservation and Research

Пернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) breeds all over Finland: from the southern archipelago (60o N) to the northernmost Lapland (70o N). The Finnish Osprey population decreased in the late 19th and early 20th century due to persecution. During the World War II
