Realm of Thermoalkaline Lipases in Bioprocess Commodities

Journal of Lipids, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
For decades, microbial lipases are notably used as biocatalysts and efficiently catalyze various processes in many important industries. Biocatalysts are less corrosive to industrial equipment and due to their substrate specificity and regioselectivity they produced less harmful waste which promotes environmental sustainability.

Pest categorisation of Selenaspidus articulatus

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum unrooted cuttings from Uganda, in which Selenaspidus articulatus (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of S.

Howler monkey foraging ecology suggests convergent evolution of routine trichromacy as an adaptation for folivory

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1421-1434, March 2017., 2017
Primates possess remarkably variable color vision, and the ecological and social factors shaping this variation remain heavily debated. Here, we examine opsin genes, feeding behaviors, and reflectance of dietary foliage of wild mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata).

Efficacy of Green and Chemically Synthesized Nano Boron Nitride on Sunflower Germination

Nano Select, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2025.
The TEM shows thin sheets of green‐synthesized nano boron nitride, while structural analysis through powder x‐ray diffraction confirmed a hexagonal configuration of the nanoparticles. The green‐synthesized particle was responsible for improving the germination percentage compared to the chemically synthesized nano particle. ABSTRACT This study explores

The root of the problem: Direct influence of riparian vegetation on estimation of stream ecosystem metabolic rates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 9-17, February 2017., 2017
Abstract Abundant living roots can be found in some streams and other shallow marine and freshwater habitats. A reach of a small Brazilian forested stream had 28% cover by live roots and exhibited diurnal trends in dissolved oxygen that could be attributed to gross primary production, but we hypothesized that activity of riparian tree roots in the ...

UAV‐Based Land Surface Temperatures and Vegetation Indices Explain and Predict Spatial Patterns of Soil Water Isotopes in a Tropical Dry Forest

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 2, February 2025.
Graphical abstract illustrating the concept of isotopic enrichment of soil water depending on canopy status and plant type. Because of less shading provided, evaporative enrichment in areas without canopy cover is higher compared to areas with intermixed evergreen and leaf‐shedding trees and evergreen patches. E and T are Evaporation and Transpiration,
