Constraints and Prospects of Mechanized Processing of Forest Tree Seeds
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2021 Trees are generally propagated from seeds and the suitability and quality of the seeds have a big effect on the success of the plantations, afforestation and reforestation programmes established from their seedlings.

Forest seed dispersal by carnivores in temperate forests and dry tropical forests [PDF]
, 2020 The mechanisms of forest seed dispersal and regeneration of various altered forest ecosystems are complemented by the action of carnivores. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of endozoochoric and diploendozoochoric mammals in the dispersal, scarification, and germination of seeds in two different forest ecosystems: temperate forest ...

Micropropagation of a recalcitrant pine (Pinus pinea L.): An overview of the effects of ectomycorrhizal inoculation [PDF]
, 2013 Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is an economically important forest species in some regions of Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain have nearly 500,000 ha of stone pine stands, representing 85% of worldwide distribution.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.By integrating machine learning into flux‐regulated crystallization (FRC), accurate prediction of solvent evaporation rates in real time, improving crystallization control and reducing crystal growth variability by over threefold, is achieved. This enhances the reproducibility and quality of perovskite single crystals, leading to reproducible ...

First report on the termiticidal activity of extracts of Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) seeds and on its active constituent squamocins [PDF]
, 2012 Termites inflict severe damage on wood and impede usage of several forest species. The biological metabolites could potentially replace synthetic termiticidal products which are becoming more restricted to use.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Unleashing the Power of Machine Learning in Nanomedicine Formulation Development
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A random forest machine learning model is able to make predictions on nanoparticle attributes of different nanomedicines (i.e. lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, or PLGA nanoparticles) based on microfluidic formulation parameters. Machine learning models are based on a database of nanoparticle formulations, and models are able to generate unique solutions

Seed dispersal in Pinus densiflora SIEB. et ZUCC. stand at Tsukuba,Ibaraki Prefecture [PDF]
, 1990 Seed dispersal in the Pinus densiflora artificial forest was recorded in relation to weather condition such as wind velocity and air humidity. Total number of seeds was 2093 per 2.5㎡, which were trapped in a period from December 1984 to September 1986 ...
