Rethinking ethanol separation in continuous spirit production from a process intensification perspective

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract Continuous neutral‐alcohol and food‐grade ethanol production is an energy‐intensive process in which distillation and rectification alone account for 50–85% of total plant energy use. While significant advances in separation technology have emerged over the past two decades, the spirits industry continues to rely predominantly on multi‐effect ...

Normative scores and clinical cut‐offs of the Cyclothymic–Hypersensitive Temperament Questionnaire in adolescence

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Cyclothymic–Hypersensitive Temperament (CHT) is a multidimensional, transdiagnostic affective disposition characterized by mood instability, interpersonal sensitivity, heightened emotional reactivity and impulsive behaviors. The CHT Questionnaire (CHTQ) currently lacks of normative references and empirically derived thresholds ...

Linking Basis of Leader–Member Exchange Differentiation to Diversity Climate and Idea Generation

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diversity climate has been recognized as a key factor in preventing negative and fostering positive diversity effects. Despite this, the literature provides limited theory for leaders and organizations on how to create positive diversity climates—and even fewer empirical tests.

Characterising Vento Norte Downslope Windstorms and Their Thermal Impacts in Southern Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using 20 years of hourly INMET observations in Santa Maria (southern Brazil), we identify 189 Vento Norte (VNOR) downslope windstorms, ~72% in winter, marked by abrupt warming, drying and strong northerly gusts. Across five biometeorological indices (TEFW, TDI, THI, HDI, Humidex), VNOR hours consistently show significantly higher thermal discomfort ...

High‐Fidelity Synthetic Raman Spectra Generation for Sinter Basicity Prediction Using β$$ \beta $$‐Variational Autoencoders

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
A β$$ \beta $$‐variational autoencoder with β$$ \beta $$ = 0.1 generates high‐fidelity synthetic Raman spectra of industrial sinter with a 16‐fold improvement in spectral fidelity over SMOTE‐based augmentation (KL divergence: 0.0075 vs. 0.121), enabling reliable basicity prediction (R2 = 0.83) from limited labeled datasets.

Forging environmentalism: The influence of childhood nature experiences on people's pro‐biodiversity value orientations and attitudes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract With the rapid expansion of transnational biodiversity policy instruments promoting large‐scale landscape transformations that depend on public support for their success and feasibility, understanding the mechanisms underlying pro‐biodiversity attitudes has become important.
