DECONSTRUCTING THE IMPACT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA COUNTRIES


The Ability of a Novel Strain Scheffersomyces (Syn. Candida) shehatae Isolated from Rotten Wood to Produce Arabitol

Arabitol is a polyalcohol which has about 70% of the sweetness of sucrose and an energy density of 0.2 kcal/g.Similarly to xylitol, it can be used in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a natural sweetener, a texturing agent, a dental caries reducer, and a humectant.Bio­technological production of arabitol from sugars represents an intere

Meta-analysis indicates better climate adaptation and mitigation performance of hybrid engineering-natural coastal defence measures

Abstract Traditional approaches to coastal defence often struggle to reduce the risks of accelerated climate change.Incorporating nature-based components into coastal defences may enhance adaptation to climate change with added benefits, but we need to compare their performance against conventional hard measures.We conduct a meta-analysis that comp

Ecopiling: A combined Phytoremediation and Passive Biopiling System for Remediating Hydrocarbon Impacted Soils at Field Scale

Biopiling is an ex situ bioremediation technology that has been extensively used for remediating a wide range of petrochemical contaminants in soils.Biopiling involves the assembling of contaminated soils into piles and stimulating the biodegrading activity of microbial populations by creating near optimum growth conditions.Phytoremediation is anot
