Virginia Mallow (Sida Hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby) – Properties And Application
Virginia mallow (or Virgina fanpetals) belongs to the Malvaceae family and it originates from the Southeastern parts of North America. In the 20th century, the plant was brought to Europe, specifically to Ukraine, and then it was introduced in Poland (Kasprzyk et al. 2013). Virginia mallow is mainly used in industry as biomass for energy generation and

Development and yielding of Virginia fanpetals depending on some elements of agricultural practices
In the years 2016–2018, two field experiments with species Sida hermaphrodita L. Rusby named Virginia fanpetals (syn. Virginia mallow) later in the manuscript as Sida, were carried out in the Świętokrzyskie province. They were located on light soil prone

Study of the influence of hornification treatment and jute and mallow fiber length on the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene (PP) composites. ABSTRACT The growing accumulation of plastic waste has driven its reuse in the development of new composites, with natural fibers emerging as promising reinforcements. However,

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

ABSTRACT Fostering meaningful and equitable collaboration between practitioners and local stakeholders remains a major challenge in conservation science and practice. Common barriers include differences in intentions, values, priorities, and access to decision‐making processes. We used a novel multidisciplinary approach combining ethnography, theory of

Miscanthus is a promising high-yielding and low-input perennial biomass crop. However, as miscanthus does not produce nectar, it provides less support for pollinators than other perennial biomass crops, such as cup plant, Virginia mallow, or wild plant ...

Abstract The magnitude of progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long‐term facilitation (vLTF) are two forms of respiratory plasticity that are enhanced in some humans with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This response might be linked to repeated nocturnal exposure to intermittent hypoxia or other traits connected to OSA.

We 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.

Comparison of the Effect of Perennial Energy Crops and Agricultural Crops on Weed Flora Diversity
The cultivation of perennial energy crops is a new agricultural system and so there is limited information available on its effects on biodiversity. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the cultivation of energy crops on the diversity of ...

Eight wild plant species were investigated as co‐substrates for pellet combustion. A long‐term field trial examined dry matter yield and biochemical composition, influencing combustion properties. Results show suitable combustion properties, comparable to Sida, with higher ash melting temperatures than Miscanthus, due to elevated calcium and magnesium.
