Assessing how pro-environmental perspectives impact participation in rooftop organic agriculture in urban neighborhoods by Mohammad Enamul Hoque, Abdullah Al Mamun, Perengki Susanto

“…Thus, some households have taken to producing organic food on their rooftop gardens to mitigate the aforementioned challenges, which could improve the green environment and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Given the emergence of this trend, this study aims to predict organic food production intention and behaviour within urban rooftop home gardens using an integrated model of the value-belief-norm (VBN) theory and theory of planned behaviour (TPB). …”

“…SpO2 at 3 min had the strongest correlation to patients’ diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (r=0.41, p<0.01). We found significant differences in 6MWD (F=2.44, p=0.033), SpO2 change (F=2.58, p=0.025), HR at 0 min (F=2.87, p=0.014), HR at end of 6 min (F=2.58, p=0.025) and HR zenith (F=2.64, p=0.022) between the subtypes of ILD.Conclusion This observation provided an important evidence regarding oxygen titration. …”

Catabolic pathway acquisition by rhizosphere bacteria readily enables growth with a root exudate component but does not affect root colonization by Stephan Christel, Alyssa A. Carrell, Leah H. Hochanadel, Manuel I. Villalobos Solis, Paul E. Abraham, Sara S. Jawdy, Julie E. Chaves, Nancy L. Engle, Timkhite-Kulu Berhane, Tao Yao, Jin-Gui Chen, Wellington Muchero, Timothy J. Tschaplinski, Melissa A. Cregger, Joshua K. Michener

“…However, many examples of HGT involve phenotypes that are predicted to provide smaller benefits, such as the ability to catabolize additional carbon sources. We have experimentally simulated the consequences of one such HGT event in the laboratory, studying the effects of transferring a pathway for catabolism of the plant-derived aromatic compound salicyl alcohol between rhizosphere isolates from the Pseudomonas genus. …”

Il modello della fessura coesiva in trazione e compressione per la valutazione della duttilità degli elementi strutturali in calcestruzzo armato by Alberto Carpinteri, Mauro Corrado, Giuseppe Mancini, Marco Paggi

“…Nel presente lavoro, si propone un nuovo modello basato sul concetto della localizzazione delle deformazioni, capace di descrivere la propagazione della fessura e l’avanzamento del crushing durante il processo di carico. In tale contesto, il comportamento non-lineare del calcestruzzo in compressione è modellato attraverso l’Overlapping Crack Model, modello analogo a quello coesivo valido per la trazione, che descrive la localizzazione delle deformazioni dovuta al danneggiamento del calcestruzzo mediante una compenetrazione del materiale. …”

Evaluating cutinase from Fusarium oxysporum as a biocatalyst for the degradation of nine synthetic polymer by Maycon Vinicius Damasceno de Oliveira, Gabriel Calandrini, Clauber Henrique Souza da Costa, Carlos Gabriel da Silva de Souza, Cláudio Nahum Alves, José Rogério A. Silva, Anderson H. Lima, Jerônimo Lameira

“…Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the PETase enzyme has a very high similarity with the bacterial cutinase enzyme than with the fungal cutinase, therefore demonstrating that the PETase enzyme from Ideonella sakaiensis can easily be a modified bacterial cutinase enzyme that created a unique feature in biodegrading only the pet polymer through an evolutionary process due to its environment and its biochemical need for carbon. Our data demonstrate that bacterial cutinase enzymes have the same common ancestor as the PETase enzyme. …”
