This study demonstrates that a pilot-scale, chlorine-free process for converting Costa Rican pineapple peel residues into nanocellulose is both technically feasible and economically highly promising, yielding a 199.4% internal rate of return and a 19.5-month payback period for a plant targeting the European market.
This paper proposes and evaluates a hybrid data analytics framework that integrates Random Forest prediction models with graph-based knowledge systems to enhance the accuracy, spatial contextualization, and interpretability of soil organic carbon assessments in agroforestry systems, as demonstrated through a case study in Mexico.
This study evaluates five artificial inoculation methods and four disease severity assessment techniques for bacterial spot in almond, identifying needleless syringe, spray, and attached-shoot inoculation combined with percentage leaf area diseased scoring as the most effective approach for phenotyping resistance across different environmental conditions.
This study reveals that cassava stem and root rot disrupts the rhizoplane bacteriome by depleting beneficial taxa, and identifies native *Bacillus* strains as effective, eco-friendly biocontrol agents that suppress the pathogen *Fusarium falciforme* and enhance plant growth.
This systematic review demonstrates that moderate dietary supplementation with brown or red seaweed enhances gut microbiota diversity, immune function, and antioxidant capacity in sheep, leading to improved production performance, superior meat and milk quality, and potential disease prevention benefits.
This study utilizes a probabilistic Cost of Diet (P-CoD) model to estimate that adhering to Saudi Arabia's national dietary guidelines costs approximately 20–25 Saudi Riyals daily (600–750 Riyals monthly), providing a framework to assess the affordability of recommended diets across varying energy needs and economic conditions.
This study demonstrates that a pH-sensitive anthocyanin-based colorimetric indicator serves as an effective, real-time monitoring tool for fish freshness by accurately correlating visible color changes with volatile amine production (specifically TMA and NH₃) and microbial growth, as validated by GC-MS analysis and gas detection tubes.
This study characterizes the phytochemical profile of *Hermannia geniculata* leaf extracts, finding that polar solvents yield the highest phenolic content, but notes that the crude extracts exhibit only weak 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity, suggesting a need for further fractionation to fully evaluate their anti-inflammatory potential.
This study establishes an integrated management strategy for soybean root disease caused by *Fusarium ipomoeae* by identifying *Pseudomonas brassicacearum* and the fungicide pydiflumetofen as highly effective control agents when used in combination, alongside developing a species-specific qPCR assay for sensitive pathogen detection.
This study demonstrates that the indigenous fungal antagonist *Trichoderma harzianum* effectively suppresses *Fusarium* wilt and promotes growth in *Corchorus olitorius* through significant inhibition of the pathogen in vitro and reduced disease severity in screenhouse trials, outperforming *Aspergillus niger* and *Aspergillus flavus*.
