Strategic techniques for upgrading bio‐oil from fast pyrolysis: a critical review
Abstract Pyrolysis has been the subject of extensive scientific research due to its potential application to various waste streams and byproducts from different production systems. One of its main products is the liquid fraction known as bio‐oil – a complex material composed of a wide variety of organic molecules and a significant water content.

Production of a nutrient enriched biochar: a techno‐economic feasibility analysis
Abstract A techno‐economic feasibility analysis was conducted for a biomass pyrolysis plant that utilized Eucalyptus to produce fertilizer‐enriched biochar. Key parameters – biomass throughput, fertilizer loading, and selling price – were optimized for financial viability using net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), return on ...

Oncogenic herpesvirus HHV-8 promotes androgen-independent prostate cancer growth.
Mechanisms underlying progression to androgen-independent prostate cancer following radical ablation therapy remain poorly defined. Although intraprostatic infections have been highlighted as potential cofactors, pathogen influences on pathways that ...

HHV-8 (KSHV) is not associated with bacillary angiomatosis [PDF]
Bacillary angiomatosis is a rare pseudoneoplastic angioproliferative lesion occurring in patients with AIDS. This condition has been associated with Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana infections. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is thought to be the causative agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, a vasoproliferative neoplasm, also commonly found in patients ...
