Evaluation of the Effect of Thermo-mechanical Treatment on the Resistance of Commercial OSB to Decay Fungi

Medžiagotyra, 2019
insertion of chemical agents, which are subject to leaching when exposed to weathering. In this context, the thermo-mechanical modification seeks to increase the durability of wood, without polluting the environment.

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Effects of White and Brown Rot Decay on Changes of Wood Ultrastructure

BioResources, 2014
Fungal decay results in gradual decomposition of compounds of wood cell walls. Mass loss of wood is usually applied to characterize the decay. However, mechanisms of brown and white rot decay are significantly different, resulting in different ...

Multi‐Vine Disease Prediction in a Field Test Spanning Whole Growth Season at Wine‐Industrial Site (McLaren Vale)

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
Overall, the findings provide reliable evidence for block‐level disease early warning, inspection prioritisation, and spray decision‐making, helping to reduce unnecessary inputs, lower environmental burdens, and improve the resilience and sustainability of vineyard production systems.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Differential Mechanisms of Soft Rot Resistance in Lettuce Grown Under White and Blue Light

Food and Energy Security
Specific light wavelengths can affect plant responses to pathogens. In this study, we investigated the soft rot resistance of lettuce grown under different light conditions and analyzed the underlying molecular mechanisms using RNA‐seq data.

The GSTome Reflects the Chemical Environment of White-Rot Fungi

PLOS ONE, 2015
White-rot fungi possess the unique ability to degrade and mineralize all the different components of wood. In other respects, wood durability, among other factors, is due to the presence of extractives that are potential antimicrobial molecules. To cope with these molecules, wood decay fungi have developed a complex detoxification network including ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Accommodating Women: Geographies of Citizenship in the Twentieth‐Century Campaign for Women's Jury Rights

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australian women were among the first in the world to receive electoral suffrage, yet it took until 1997 before they had full equality of jury suffrage. This article examines the debate around female jurors by focusing less on discourses of citizenship than on the subterranean spatial arrangements upon which equality depended.

Syphilis and ‘Sons of Empire’: The ‘Prostitute’ and Britain's Fighting Arm in Nineteenth ̵ Century Colonial Punjab

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The British army in India took great care to provide European troops with facilities for sexual relations while anxiously managing venereal disease. Examining archival evidence, political debates and medical discourse from the nineteenth century, this article examines the colonial military enterprise of regulated prostitution in colonial ...
