Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...

Influence of bio-filter configurations on hydraulic aspects while enhancing the sustainable self-purification of agricultural drainage water

Frontiers in Environmental Science
As global climate change exacerbates water scarcity, recycling agricultural drainage water is emerging as a promising solution in water resources-limited regions. This research investigated the hydraulic impact of using gravel bio-filters in contaminated

Effect of Submerged and Floating Plants on Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics and Nitrogen Removal in Constructed Wetlands

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2011
Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration affects the treatment processes in constructed wetlands. This study examined the dissolved oxygen dynamics and total nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands with submerged and floating plants. Four constructed wetland

An assessment of stress and production rate of sucker rod heat pipes in oil well pumping system

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The sucker rod pumping system is the preferred oil extraction technique. The concept about equipping the hollow vacuum space in solid sucker rods with heat pipe has been scrutinized in terms of stress and oil production evaluation. Abstract The implementation of the heat pipe concept in sucker rods for oil pumping systems negates the requirement for an

Delineation and mapping of coastal shark habitat within a shallow lagoonal estuary.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks. Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and provides a variety of potential

Quality of Spontaneous and Backslopped Fermented Cassava Flour From Different Cassava Landraces and Sensory Acceptability of the Cooked Dough

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The cooked Oko‐iyawo spontaneously fermented cassava flour's sensory acceptability was correlated with its amylose content, pH, pasting temperature, and water absorption capability. Cassava processors may be able to create consistently high‐quality fermented cassava flour for various end users with the use of the information provided in this study ...

Spatially Resolved Metabolomics of Optimal Cutting Temperature (OCT) Compound‐Embedded Tumors

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is emerging as a powerful tool for uncovering the distribution of metabolites in the tumor microenvironment and studying tumor metabolism in vivo. To date, MSI of biobanked tissues contextualized by patient data has been limited to peptides, proteins, and glycans—with few examples for metabolites.

Removal of pharmaceuticals from municipal wastewater using a powdered activated carbon‐supplemented moving bed membrane bioreactor

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The new European Union Wastewater Directive 2024/3019 requires upgrading sewage treatment plants to achieve 80% removal of micropollutants. This study aimed to compare different Powdered Activated Carbon dosing strategies within a hybrid Moving Bed‐Membrane Bioreactor (PAC‐MB‐MBR) system, to evaluate its performance and to study the
