Wastewater Sewage Sludge Management via Production of the Energy Crop Virginia Mallow
Agronomy, 2022 Wastewater treatment plants are facilities where wastewater is treated by technological processes. A byproduct of a wastewater treatment plant is sewage sludge, which can be both a good soil conditioner and a source of nutrients for the crops to which it

Thermal and Stress Properties of Briquettes from Virginia Mallow Energetic Crops. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 The article discusses the influence of briquetting/compaction parameters. This includes the effects of pressure and temperature on material density and the thermal conductivity of biomass compacted into briquette samples. Plant biomass mainly consists of lignin and cellulose which breaks down into simple polymers at the elevated temperature of 200 °C ...

Effect of the Aqueous Quercetin Solution on the Physiological Properties of Virginia Mallow (<i>Ripariosida hermaphrodita</i>) Grown Under Salt Stress Conditions. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciThe current increase in energy demand, along with the deepening climate crisis, has led to the need for alternative energy sources. One of these is the cultivation of energy crops. In turn, issues related to the deepening problem of soil salinization are an important aspect of environmental protection on a global scale.

Using Advanced Tri-Axial Accelerometer Data to Improve Behavioral Time Budgets and Bioenergetic Estimates of Wintering Lesser Scaup. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe compared two observational methods, traditional ground truthed diurnal scanning observations and 24‐h tri‐axial accelerometer GPS/GSM transmitter data, for calculating behavioral time budgets and estimated the daily energy expenditure of wintering Lesser Scaup.

Quantitative Low‐Field 19F Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analysis of Carbonyl Groups in Pyrolysis Oils
ChemSusChem, Volume 16, Issue 17, September 8, 2023., 2023 Simpler, cheaper, accurate: Low‐field, or benchtop, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers prove capable of quantitative analysis of pyrolysis oils from a range of lignocellulosic feedstocks. The NMR estimates of total carbonyl content compare favorably with titrations while the acquired spectra allow for the quantification of carbonyl groups ...
