Continuous Purification of mRNA Produced by In Vitro Transcription Using High Performance Countercurrent Membrane Purification

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) therapeutics produced by in vitro transcription must be purified to remove residual enzymes and free nucleotides. This study examines the use of high‐performance countercurrent membrane purification (HPCMP) for the purification of mRNA therapeutics based on differences in the rate of diffusion across ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Sustainability Orientation and Sustainable Innovation: Can Organisational Resilience Clarify the Missing Link?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although firms that integrate a sustainability orientation (SO) may experience a significant improvement in their resource efficiency, many, particularly small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs), still struggle with the complexities of incorporating sustainability into their business models.

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Ternary Crosslinking Builds Nanosheet Hard Carbon and Interfacial Polarization Regulates Na⁺ Kinetics in Hard Carbon Anodes

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Nanosheet Hard Carbon for Fast Na+ Storage ABSTRACT Hard‐carbon anodes for sodium‐ion batteries are often constrained by low initial Coulombic efficiency, severe interfacial polarization, and sluggish Na⁺ kinetics, especially when porosity engineering amplifies electrolyte consumption.

INCREASED RESERVOIR BENEFITS: THE CONTRIBUTION OF SOIL CONSERVATION PROGRAMS

The objective of this research is to value soil conservation's impact on reservoirs. Using a model based on replacement cost, we estimate the benefits gained by marginal decreases in soil erosion for more than 75,000 reservoirs across the contiguous ...

Investigating Potential Wetland Development in Aging Kansas Reservoirs [PDF]

, 2017
Reservoirs around the world are losing their storage capacity due to sediment infilling; and with this infilling, the quality or value of some reservoir uses such as boating, fishing and recreation are diminishing.
