Environmental indicators for nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) based only on N inputs and N removal are becoming widely used in science, policy, and commercial supply chains to track the sustainability of food production. However, these indicators do not reflect the contribution of inherent soil productivity, which can supply half of crop demand an...
The integration of social and environmental issues into their business model is today a major issue for companies facing the challenge of sustainability. This is leading them to redefine their models of performance measurement. In this perspective, integrated and multi-dimensional frameworks such as Balanced Scorecards (BSCs) and Sustainability Bal...
This work presents a novel methodology to obtain stable bio-oil-in-oil emulsions using crude oil endogenous asphaltenes as emulsifiers. This approach provides new insights into the valorization of wood pyrolysis bio-oils through co-processing with crude oils or by direct incorporation in fuels for marine transportation, contributing to a significan...

There has been an intense surge in interest in the search for alternative sources of petroleum fuels in the modern world as a result of the inflation of fuel prices and the historic supply gap. When compared to petroleum fuels, biodiesel is becoming an increasingly valuable option due to the fact that it produces less emissions and provides the alm...
A research team from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Kansas State University, and South Dakota School of Mines are working on creating an alternative product that would use locally available materials to create a spray-on, biodegradable polymer that can suppress weeds and will biodegrade in a timeframe that is amenable to crop production. We br...
ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of inoculation and co-inoculation of rhizobia and Azospirillum brasilense combined with humic substances (HS) in growth promotion of Phaseolus lunatus (lima bean) and Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena). RESUMEN: El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la inoculació...
Bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na recyklaci titanových slitin, které jsou díky svým výjimečným vlastnostem široce využívány v různých průmyslových odvětvích. Teoretická část práce rozebírá celý recyklační proces, od sběru a třídění odpadu až po tavení a rafinaci, a zkoumá faktory, které mohou ovlivnit kvalitu výsledných recyklovaných materiálů. V exp...
O monitoramento dos valores de aridez, assim como a avaliação dos impactos na agricultura no ambiente e na economia é importante para o desenvolvimento de políticas que favoreçam o gerenciamento dos riscos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter a distribuição espacial da aridez da região do semiárido utilizando variáveis climáticas no período de 2004...
The emergence and evolution of engineering biology, and its potential to address multiple global challenges is associated with the rise of biofoundries. These innovation intermediaries are facilities that employ advanced automation and computational analytics to accelerate engineering biology applications. Yet, for biofoundries to fully achieve the...
Purpose – This paper develops a case study focused on the Portuguese Air Force, aiming first to identify the Internal Audit (IA) roles and then analyse its influence on organisation sustainability while exploring the moderating effect of human resources management practices (HRMP). Theoretical framework – This research draws on the empirical work r...
