Abstract:
... The hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) is a very significant reaction, and it is a typical route for producing important chemicals from biomass. Efficient catalysts without any additive for the hydrogenolysis of HMF to DMF under mild conditions are highly desirable. Herein, we found that the Pd/C catalyst prepared in γ-valerolactone (Pd-GVL/C) is an efficien ...

Abstract:
... Attached microalgae cultivation for biomass/bioenergy production has been proposed these decades to avoid the energy-intensive harvest process. However, the external light could only propagate <200 μm in biofilm, which inhibits the growth of microalgae in deep layer. In this paper, the possibility of using inner light emitted by mix-cultured photobacteria for attached microalgae growth was investi ...

Abstract:
... There are several emergent properties useful as indicators of marine ecosystem status. Some of these are based on the cumulative trophic theory, which posits that biomass and production accumulate in repeatable and predictable patterns across trophic levels. These patterns result in a suite of curve parameters that can delineate when a marine ecosystem is undergoing perturbation or recovery. When ...
