Accelerating Sustainable Epoxy Resin Development Through Bayesian Optimization and Inverse Design

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Development of a machine learning framework for the optimization of the Tg of partially bio‐based epoxy resin formulations in a 13‐component design space using Bayesian optimization, active learning, random design, and inverse design. The results show that the BO effectively navigates high‐dimensional formulation spaces, and the final ML model could ...

Potential of Molecular Weight and Structure of Tannins to Reduce Methane Emissions from Ruminants: A Review

Animals, 2019
There is a need to reduce enteric methane (CH4) to ensure the environmental sustainability of ruminant production systems. Tannins are naturally found in both tropical and temperate plants, and have been shown to consistently decrease urinary nitrogen (N)

Synergistic Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in Arbutus unedo Leaf Extract by Biological Fluids: Implications for Functional and Nutraceutical Applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of biological fluids (saliva, blood plasma, and urine) on the antioxidant capacity of an aqueous extract derived from Arbutus unedo leaves. The extract displayed a concentration‐dependent reducing activity in the ferric reducing power assay (IC50 = 292 ± 7.54 µg/mL) and phosphomolybdenum assays (IC50 = 461.67 ± 4.

Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
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
