Holistic valorization of microalgal slurry into biofuels via integrated simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using co-immobilized tri-enzymes

Author(s): Ha GS; Basak B; Ahn HJ; Baek G; Hwang JH; Roh HS; Chung WJ; Jeon BH;

The commercial viability of microalgal biorefineries is currently constrained by high energy demands during pretreatment and incomplete biomass valorization arising from cell wall recalcitrance. To overcome these challenges, this study developed a high-efficiency simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) strategy using an immobilized tri-enzyme ...

Interpersonal Capitalization and Unmet Interpersonal Needs Among Adolescents at Varying Risk for Suicidal Ideation: A Daily Diary Study

Author(s): Perezmontemayor Cruz I; MacNeil S; Renaud J; Gouin JP;

Introduction: Adolescents at risk for suicidal ideation tend to report more unmet interpersonal needs, namely perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Interpersonal capitalization-an interpersonal process involving disclosing a positive personal event to others and evaluating others' responsiveness to such disclosure-can promote positive a ...

Probing cognitive reserve with resting state functional connectivity in subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment

Author(s): Gu Y; Hsu CL; Boa Sorte Silva NC; Tam RC; Alkeridy WA; Lam K; Liu-Ambrose T;

Background: Subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) is characterized by white matter hyperintensities (WMH) that contribute to executive dysfunction and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Cognitive reserve (CR) is the brain's ability to maintain cognitive performance despite pathology. Resting-state functional connectivity ( ...

Assessing Port-related Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Mitigation Pathways Through a Comprehensive Framework Applied to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority

Author(s): Wang Z; Su Y; Lu Z; An C;

Maritime transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and ports play a critical role in shaping regional and national decarbonization pathways. This study develops a comprehensive framework to quantify both offshore and onshore GHG emissions associated with port activities and applies it to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) ...

eDNA Provides Accurate Population Abundance Estimates With Bioenergetics and Particle Mass-Balance Modelling

Author(s): Beaulieu J; Yates MC; Fraser DJ; Cristescu ME; Derry AM;

Anthropogenic activities have led to an unprecedented crisis in freshwater biodiversity loss. The capacity to monitor the abundance of wild populations is critical to conserving biodiversity, but conventional physical specimen collection methods are invasive, costly and labour-intensive. Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a promising alternative, being easy ...
