Enhanced Degradation of Vinyl Copolymers Based on Lipoic Acid

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1345-1351, 15 March 2025.
ABSTRACT The introduction of degradable units into the backbone of commodity vinyl polymers represents a major opportunity to address the societal challenge of plastic waste and polymer recycling. Previously, we reported the facile copolymerization of α‐lipoic acid derivatives containing 1,2‐dithiolane rings with vinyl monomers leading to the ...

Spatial recovery of the murine gut microbiota after antibiotics perturbation

open access: yesmBio
Bacterial communities are highly complex, with interaction networks dictating ecosystem function. Bacterial interactions are constrained by the spatial organization of these microbial communities, yet studying the spatial organization of microbial ...

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Pesticide prioritization based on risk and model diet proposals for assessing cumulative exposure to pesticide residues in the Brazilian population through food consumption

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A risk classification of registered pesticides in Brazil was conducted, and the contribution of food to cumulative pesticide exposure was evaluated. Model diets were proposed, based on Brazilian consumption patterns. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide residue exposure assessments can be carried out during both the pre‐regulation and post‐regulation phases ...

Multivariate Tests for Comparing Lifetimes of Parallel Systems

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Life testing of engineering systems with dependent components requires robust multivariate methods. Parametric approaches depend on restrictive assumptions, limiting their use in complex or unknown lifetime distribution settings. This study evaluates nonparametric methods for comparing parallel system lifetimes under minimal sample ...

Failure Analysis and Maintenance Planning for Repairable Deteriorating Structural Systems Subject to Imperfect Maintenance

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The analysis of a system that deteriorates under imperfect maintenance is essential in reliability engineering. Imperfect maintenance does not fully restore a system to its original condition, leading to complex degradation patterns. Statistical inference techniques allow for precise estimation of degradation parameters, maintenance effects ...
