ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Mechanochemical upcycling of bio‐ and fossil‐based polyesters with alcohols and amines using MeONa as the catalyst selectively produces synthetically useful diesters and diamides, giving only alcohols as byproducts. This green and efficient protocol is readily scalable and can be transferred to the upcycling of polyester‐based postconsumer waste ...

Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops
Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic

Rosemary, citronella, and tea tree essential oils were evaluated as natural additives for sorghum silage at four inclusion levels (0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg kg−1 of fresh forage). Rosemary essential oil improved fermentation by increasing crude protein while reducing ammonia nitrogen and butyric acid concentrations.
