Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Fungal Community Structure and Their Association With Soil Physical Properties in Degraded Soil From the Brazilian Semiarid

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

Exact Solutions for the Moving Firefighter Problem on Trees

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The moving firefighter problem (MFP) is a more realistic variant of the classic firefighter problem (FP), where firefighters require time for both travel and defense. Unfortunately, the only known exact solution for the MFP does not scale. In this paper, we establish that the MFP is NP‐complete on trees of maximum degree three and present four

Impact of Priming Volume Reduction on Hematocrit Retention in Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Retrospective Analysis

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Retrograde autologous priming and venous antegrade priming replace the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit crystalloid with patient blood to mitigate hemodilution. However, their effectiveness in pediatric patients, particularly when analyzed as continuous variables, remains unclear.

Design and Statistical Optimization of PLA Organoclay‐Based Dispersions for Recyclable Packaging Paper

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Through experimental design, polylactic acid (PLA)—organoclay dispersions were optimized to produce biobased coatings that have a high barrier potential while maintaining repulpability, promoting sustainable packaging solutions. ABSTRACT Performance and recyclability of paper coatings depend on precise control of polymer, surfactant, filler ...

Diffusion Coefficients of Organic Compounds in Molten High‐Impact Polystyrene

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the determination of diffusion coefficients in molten high‐impact polystyrene. ABSTRACT Polystyrene (PS) is a widely used packaging material, but its recycling for food‐contact applications is still limited, partly due to a lack of quantitative data on the migration behavior of potential contaminants.

Farmers’ Preferences for Sustainable Crop Protection: An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes farmers' preferences for sustainable crop protection, focusing on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices by incorporating social‐psychological factors to capture economic and behavioral dimensions. Using data from German and Polish potato farmers, we apply an integrated choice and latent variable framework that combines

Modeling the Thermal Properties of Hydrogen‐Based Direct Reduced Iron Using Computational Thermodynamics and Machine Learning

steel research international, EarlyView.
Hydrogen‐based direct reduced iron (H‐DRI) melts differently from scrap and carbon‐bearing DRI. This work combines differential scanning calorimetry experiments, FactSage thermodynamics, and simple composition‐based regression to predict solidus, liquidus, heat capacity, and enthalpy for H‐DRI.
