Synergistic Advanced Oxidation and Physicochemical Treatment Strategies for Antibiotic Removal and Resistance Mitigation in Water

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of antibiotics in water not only causes environmental pollution but also increases the growth of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial genes, which pose serious threats to human beings and other water residents. Large numbers of people are reportedly affected by the resistant bacterial genes, as many broad‐spectrum antibiotics are not ...

Bio‐Based Sodium Alginate Beads Reinforced With Microalgae (Limnospira platensis): Structure–Property Relationships and Controlled Release Potential

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Development of sodium alginate beads doped with Limnospira platensis, designed for the gradual release of nutrients and bioactive molecules into soil. The biomaterial combines biodegradability, controlled‐release potential, and microalgal biomass valorization, contributing to reduced nutrient losses through leaching and the development of more ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Insecticidal Activity of the Soil in the Rhizosphere of Viburnum odoratissimum against Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Sociobiology, 2017
Methyl salicylate produced by Viburnum odoratissimum is known to exert lethal or sublethal effects on insects. Replacing conventional pesticides with insecticidal plants is necessary for environmental protection.

The Influence of Incongruent Line Extensions on Choice of a Brand's Pre‐Existing Products: The Mediating Role of Curiosity

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many brands have added highly incongruent products to their product lines, such as Lay's Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips, Blueberry Cheerios, and Carrot Cake Oreos. This paper investigates how highly incongruent products influence the choice of pre‐existing items in the product line.
