A Brain‐Wide Atlas of Astrocytic Oxytocin Receptors Reveals a Glial Basis for Nucleus Accumbens Modulation of Affiliative Behavior

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The cellular actors of oxytocin signaling are under intense scrutiny. A brain‐wide anatomical and functional analysis in mice and rats reveals widespread expression of oxytocin receptors in astrocytes. These receptors are functionally active and, in the nucleus accumbens, selectively regulate male social affiliation.

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COMPOSITES COMPRISING MODIFIED HARDWOOD AND WOOD POLYMERS/POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) [PDF]

BioResources, 2009
Chemical modification of hardwood sawdust from ash-tree species was carried out with a solution of maleic anhydride in acetone. Wood polymers, lignin, and cellulose were isolated from the wood sawdust and modified by the same method.

Recent Advances in Carbon Cathode Materials toward High‐Performing Zinc‐Ion Hybrid Supercapacitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aqueous zinc‐ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) have emerged as promising next‐generation electrochemical energy‐storage devices. Porous carbon materials have been extensively studied as cathodes, with advances in tailoring pore structures and material properties to enhance performance.

Perimeter‐intensified inverse Zr‐Co oxygen carrier for biomass chemical‐looping gasification with high CO selectivity

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Chemical‐looping gasification (CLG) offers a promising route for renewable biomass valorization, yet conventional oxygen carrier regeneration with O₂/H₂O is energy‐intensive and often produces low‐quality syngas. Here, we develop an inverse ZrO2/Co3O4 oxygen carrier that enables selective biochar oxidation and efficient lattice‐oxygen transfer

Development of Wood-Crete from Hardwood and Softwood Sawdust [PDF]

The Open Construction and Building Technology Journal, 2013
Wood-crete, a new building material has previously been developed from sawdust, inorganic binder and addition of waste paper, finding its use mainly for wall panelling or other non- and semi-structural applications with good thermal insulating properties. In this study, the properties

Inverse Vulcanized Sulfur Polymer Composites From Poultry‐Industry Products and Lignocellulosic Biomass Waste

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This work explores the use of various fillers, including eggshell powder, feather meal, peanut hulls, and sawdust to reinforce a base binder GFS90 (comprised of 90 wt.% sulfur, 5 wt.% chicken fat, and 5 wt.% sunflower oil). The resulting composites showed impressive compressive strengths ranging from 15.3 to 36.2 MPa, making them a potential ...

Wood Sawdust as a Low‐Cost Filler in Whole‐Tire Reclaimed Rubber: Mechanical Characterization and Factory‐Scale Cost Analysis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐tire reclaimed rubber is upgraded with wood sawdust, a carpentry by‐product available at no cost, across loadings from 0 to 20 wt%. At 5 wt%, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, viscosity, and water absorption all stay within commercial specification, and real factory data show an annual production saving near $62,000 with no capital ...

Efficient sampling of shiitake-inoculated oak logs to determine the log-to-mushroom transfer factor of stable cesium [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Stable cesium (133Cs) naturally exists in the environment whereas recently deposited radionuclides (e.g., 137Cs) are not at equilibrium. Stable cesium has been used to understand the long-term behavior of radionuclides in plants, trees and ...

Material Characterization of Lignin‐Filled Polypropylene Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ground and spray‐dried lignin powders are compared as fillers for polypropylene composites. Differences in powder preparation methods are associated with differences in powder characteristics and composite behavior after melt compounding. Spray‐dried lignin produces smaller particles and fewer large agglomerates, while a 5 wt% lignin loading provides a

Application of sawdust concrete in construction

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2022
Sawdust concrete is a type of lightweight concrete in which some of the mineral aggregate is replaced by sawdust - a by-product of wood processing. It is not a new material, but its potential is not utilised to its full degree.
