Evaluating Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium) as a Co‐Fermentation Feedstock for Bioethanol Production
Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium), a perennial grain developed by the Land Institute, presents a promising alternative to conventional ethanol feedstocks due to its deep‐root systems, low fertilizer requirements, and carbon sequestration potential.

Mulching and soil tillage influence on the thermal behaviour of a Luvisol surface layer [PDF]
, 2009 Important energy exchanges at soil surface regulate the thermal environment within top soil layer and the boundary layer above it. By this reason, the application of mulches or the modelling of micro relief by soil tillage are common practises to modify ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of microalgal biomass and wheat straw with and without thermo-alkaline pretreatment [PDF]
, 2017 This study aimed at analyzing the anaerobic co-digestion of microalgal biomass grown in wastewater and wheat straw. To this end, Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) tests were carried out testing different substrate proportions (20–80, 50–50 and 80–20 ...

Chemical Treatment of Wheat Straw
Journal of Animal Science, 1980 Summary An in vitro digestion study, a lamb growth trial and a lamb digestion trial were conducted to evaluate the effect of different NaOH and Ca(OH)2 treatments on the energy availability of wheat straw. In vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) of wheat straw was increased 29% by chemical treatment with 1% NaOH plus 3% Ca(OH)2 and by as much as 86 ...

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Sulfur and nitrogen affect wheat yield and the protein content and quality. Hard red spring wheat (Albany cultivar) grown under six different soil nitrate application levels (0, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 lbs/acre) and two sulfur levels (0 or 20 lbs/acre) was used.

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.
