Economics of forest biomass for bioenergy: potential site preparation savings from coarse woody harvesting residue removal in a short-rotation Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.) plantation [PDF]

Silva Balcanica, 2021
The study used time studies and cost analysis to assess potential economic benefits from site preparation cost reductions resulting from producing coarse woody harvesting residue (CWHR) for bioenergy. In contrast, previous studies have predominantly used

Cloning and characterization of the hamster and guinea pig nicotinic acid receptors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
In this study, we present the identification and characterization of hamster and guinea pig nicotinic acid receptors. The hamster receptor shares ∼80–90% identity with the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of human, mouse, and rat receptors. The guinea
