Ultrasonic Extraction and Separation of Taxanes from Taxus cuspidata Optimized by Response Surface Methodology

Separations, 2022
Taxanes are natural compounds with strong antitumor activity. In this study, we first extracted taxanes from the needles of Taxus cuspidata using ultrasonic (US) extraction, and then assessed the effects of different extraction conditions on the yields ...

Effects of Pyrolysis Control Parameters on the Structural Properties of Biomass‐Derived Activated Carbon Materials and Their Energy Applications

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

Developing High-Efficiency PCR Mini-Barcoding to Enforce Conservation Efforts Against Illegal Trade and Habitat Loss of Endangered Taxus L. in the Himalayas

Conservation
Environmental and ancient DNA are mostly present in degraded forms in nature. Plant forensics is necessary for plants like Taxus (Taxaceae), which is a medicinal, as well as poisonous, endangered plant.

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...
