How natural materials remove heavy metals from water: mechanistic insights from molecular dynamics simulations

Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci

Water pollution by heavy metals is of increasing concern due to its devastating effects on the environment and on human health. For the removal of heavy metals from water sources, natural materials, such as spent-coffee-grains or orange/banana/chestnut pee ...

Aldehyde-Assisted Fractionation Enhances Lignin Valorization in Endocarp Waste Biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Graham Reid Dick, Raymond Gérard Buser, Chloé Wegmann

Endocarp biomass, which forms much of the inedible portion of nuts and stone fruits, is a promising feedstock for aromatic chemical production due to its high lignin content and because it is a food industry waste. Here, we tested the nut shells and fruit ...

Characterization of Efficiency and Mechanisms of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Decontamination of Seeds for Sprout Production

Alexandra Waskow

The consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable products has strongly increased during the past few decades. However, inherent to all minimally processed products is the short shelf life, and the risk of foodborne diseases, which have been increasingly relate ...

Air pollution risk assessment on urban agriculture

Theoretical part (about 3 weeks from 20 Feb to 12 March) Literature search for current knowledge on air pollution in relation to urban farming: where is the accumulation; what kind of pollution can we find (dusts, dioxins, PM, heavy metalsâŠ); what are ...

Soft probes for bio-electrochemical imaging

Tzu-En Lin

The aim of bioimaging is to visualize properties and processes of living objects or biological samples and extracts image-related information for revealing important physical structures or map the distribution of specific biomolecules in tissues for clinic ...

Optimizing drip irrigation for eggplant crops in semi-arid zones using evolving thresholds

Paolo Perona

Field experiments were combined with a numerical model to optimize drip irrigation management based on soil matric potential (SMP) measurements. An experimental crop of eggplant was grown in Burkina Faso from December 2014 to March 2015 and plant response ...

Urolithin A induces mitophagy and prolongs lifespan in C. elegans and increases muscle function in rodents

Johan Auwerx, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Patrick Aebischer, Laurent Mouchiroud, Pénélope Andreux, Dongryeol Ryu, Evan Graehl Williams, Elena Katsyuba, Norman Lionel Moullan, Pooja Jha, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The biological effects of urolithins remain poorly characterized, despite wide-spread human exposure via the dietary consumption of their metabolic precursors, the ellagitannins, which are found in the pomegranate fruit, as well as in nuts and berries. We ...

Do crosstalks with primary and secondary metabolism limit or stimulate the detoxification of xenobiotics?

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Because plants are static and live in a competitive and sometimes hostile environment, they have evolved efficient mechanisms that protect them from abiotic and biotic stresses. These mechanisms include detoxification and sequestration of xenobiotic compou ...

Evolution of dispersal in explicitly spatial metacommunities

Andrea Rinaldo

We apply an evolutionary game theoretic approach to the evolution of dispersal in explicitly spatial metacommunities, using a flexible parametric class of dispersal kernels, namely 2Dt kernels, and study the resulting evolutionary dynamics and outcomes. We ...
