Kinetic Assessment of Kraft and Thermally Upgraded Kraft Papers Aged in Five Alternative Dielectric Fluids

Polymers
The lifespan of an electrical transformer, primarily determined by the condition of its solid insulation, is well known under various operating conditions when mineral oil is the coolant in these machines. However, there is a trend toward replacing this oil with biodegradable fluids, especially esters; therefore, an understanding of the ageing of solid

On Kant's first insight into the problem of space dimensionality and its physical foundations [PDF]

, 2015
In this article it is shown that a careful analysis of Kant's "Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces" leads to a conclusion that does not match the usually accepted interpretation of Kant's reasoning in 1747, according to which the Young Kant ...

Development of a co‐culture of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus and Cupriavidus taiwanensis for inhibitors removal from hemicellulose prehydrolysate

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Valorization of Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) peel for peroxidase production and its immobilization on alginate beads for 2,4‐dichlorophenol bioconversion

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Sodium alginate was modified with EDC/NHS for the immobilization of Yacon peel peroxidase, resulting in a novel biocatalyst for the oxidation of 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Abstract Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) roots are emerging as an alternative source of peroxidase. This study aimed to extract, immobilize, and characterize the peroxidase from Yacon peel,
