Trema micrantha extract for sustainable spider mite management

Abstract Given the increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to synthetic acaricides, this study evaluated the acaricidal activity of aqueous leaf extracts of Trema micrantha Blume (Cannabaceae) against adult females of Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836 (Acari: Tetranychidae) u...

Surfactantsfor Enhanced Oil Recovery: Progress andInnovations over the Past Decade

Abstract Surfactant-based strategies have emerged as key approaches for enhancing oil recovery (EOR), particularly in mature reservoirs where conventional production methods leave a substantial fraction of oil unrecovered. This review provides a comprehensive and critical assessm...

Effect of carcass electrical stimulation on sheep and goat meat quality: a meta-analysis study

Context The utilization of electrical stimulation (ES) in small ruminant carcasses is less common than in beef processing facilities. Nevertheless, ES shows promise in mitigating cold shortening and improving meat quality traits in small ruminants. Aim This meta-analysis assessed...

Toward Sustainable Water Treatment: Hydraulic Retention Time Effects on Natural and Chemical Coagulants in Continuous-Flow Helically Coiled Tube Flocculators

Access to safe drinking water remains a global challenge, particularly in decentralized and low-resource settings where conventional treatment technologies may be economically or operationally impractical. Combining low-energy hydraulic flocculation systems with biodegradable nat...

Case Studieson Sample Preparation with Diluted Acidfor Elemental Determination

Abstract Green chemistry provides a framework for redesigning laboratory practices to reduce environmental and safety impacts. In elemental analysis, replacing highly concentrated acids during sample preparation represents an important step toward more-sustainable practices. This...

Proteomic profile associated with the m aturation of somatic embryos of Euterpe edulis under polyamine treatments in material derived from a single mother plant

Abstract Euterpe edulis is of ecological and economic relevance and is currently threatened with extinction. Its vulnerability to extinction, combined with the recalcitrant nature of its seeds, justifies the search for alternative reproduction techniques. Somatic embryogenesis is...

Kinectics of calcium diffusion and associated physical changes in papaya fruit

Calcium-based treatments are recognized for their effectiveness in preserving the postharvest quality of papaya; however, the mechanisms and kinetics of calcium diffusion within the fruit pulp remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to characterize the calcium diffu...
