Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems – Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Nitrogen (N), the most critical and essential nutrient for plant growth, largely determines the productivity in both extensive and intensive grassland systems.

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

Evaluation of nitrification inhibitors for use under tropical conditions

, 1999
Six simple chemical compounds were evaluated for inhibition of nitrification. The compounds of o-nitroaniline, m-nitroaniline, o- nitrophenol, benzotriazole, and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol were compared with dicyandiamide by adding 10 μg inhibitor/g of a ...

Nitrification inhibitors mitigate N2O emissions more effectively under straw-induced conditions favoring denitrification

, 2017
The application of reactive nitrogen (N) in the form of synthetic/organic fertilizers plays a central role in supporting a larger human population, but also contributes to global warming through the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O).

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Functional carbon materials are synthesized from combination of biopolymer (chitin) and iron precursors. The resultant material exhibits superior surface area and adsorptive properties compared to carbon materials synthesized directly from pure chitin.

Soil Nitrification Rate Is Affected by Plant Species and Nitrogen Levels

Agriculture
The soil nitrification rate is significantly affected by plant species, and it is also modulated by different nitrogen levels in the soil. There are a wide range of plant species with the capacity to produce biological nitrification inhibitors (hereafter

Deciphering the Photopolymerization‐Induced Nanostructures and Interface Formation for Submicrometer Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reveals the UV‐curing‐induced monomer‐rich domain, oligomer‐rich domain, and entangled oligomer domain. The cured submicron films in stressed state induce interlayer nano‐wrinkle structures during the deposition of the second layer. Stress‐free cured films in relaxed state form non‐diffusive, diffusive and semi‐diffusive interlayer ...
