Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Biobased Reactive Plasticizer on the Morphology and Properties of Sustainable Flexible Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) Produced by Blown Film Extrusion

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A comparative investigation of two epoxy additives derived from cardanol (NC513 and NC514s) for production of films based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) clarified their distinct roles, with NC513 mainly acting as a plasticizer, reducing viscosity and enhancing ductility ...

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Anatomists' experience and perspectives on the international transfer of human remains for the purpose of education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anecdotally, educational institutions without access to human remains may choose to import these from other countries; however, there is currently no published information illuminating the existence of this trade. This study therefore aimed to document the nature of international transfer of human remains for education, and explore anatomists'

The Struggle for Sustainable Waste Management in Hong Kong: 1950s–2010s

Worldwide Waste, 2019
As Hong Kong’s landfills are expected to reach saturated conditions by 2020, the city can no longer rely on landfilling alone as the sole solution for waste treatment in the long term. Drawing on five months of archival research at the University of Hong

Combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and adding red mud as a secondary catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming of digestate

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This work studies the combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and introducing red mud as a support catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming (TCR®) of digestate. The TCR® method, developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT (abbreviated as Fraunhofer UMSICHT), is an extension

Evaluation of Environmental Sustainability of Biorefinery and Incineration with Energy Recovery Based on Life Cycle Assessment

Fermentation
Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and ISO standards, we compared the global environmental sustainability (ES) of two technologies that process the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) in Mexico. The first technology was a biorefinery (BRF)
