Integrated biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol and spherical nanolignin production from coconut waste

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Green coconut waste was subjected to different fractionation methods to obtain integrated lignin nanoparticles and cellulosic ethanol. Pretreatment with gradual addition of dilute sulfuric acid provided a higher structural hemicellulose precursor yield (68.2%).

Biogas production from Opuntia stricta Haw.: microbial diversity and solid load influence on sludge recycle systems

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Long‐term assessment of the effect of OLR, HRT and temperature on domestic sewage treatment using AnMBR to enhance biomethane production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) to treat domestic sewage by removing organic matter and nutrients while producing biogas. AnMBRs combine anaerobic digestion with membrane filtration, and stand out for their low energy consumption, low sludge production and potential for ...

Triangulation of dispensing and wastewater data for surveillance during lisdexamfetamine shortages: A descriptive time series analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Lisdexamfetamine, a long‐acting stimulant for attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has experienced widespread shortages in Australia since late 2023, raising concerns about treatment continuity and shifts in stimulant use patterns.

Biographies, ontological security and the socio‐spatial politics shaping teachers' mobility in remote Australia

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The global teacher shortage continues to intensify, with disparate impacts across geographic and socio‐economic communities. In Queensland, Australia, where this study originates, post‐COVID teacher shortages have intensified workforce pressures, leaving several regional, rural and remote schools as some of the ‘hardest‐to‐staff’ in the ...

‘More than information’: A social listening and platform architecture analysis of online special educational needs and disabilities discourse

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Parents of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) increasingly seek information and support through online discussions, yet little is known about how architectural features of digital platforms shape the interactions and support that parents encounter. The paper makes two contributions: First, it develops and applies a

Functional Diversity and Oleaginous Potential of Fungal Strains From Hawaiian Soil Ecosystems

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungi represent an important but underexplored resource for microbial lipid production, including nutritionally valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. Hawaiian soils, shaped by volcanic parent materials and strong environmental gradients, provide a unique setting for discovering functionally diverse fungal strains with distinct metabolic traits.

Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
