Cellulosic ethanol production has drawn much attention in recent years.However, there remain significant technical challenges before such production can be considered as economically feasible at an industrial scale.Among them, the efficient conversion of carbohydrates in lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is one of the most challenging
This study investigates the decades-long evolution of groundwater dynamics and thermal field in the North German Basin beneath Brandenburg (NE Germany) by coupling a distributed hydrologic model with a 3D groundwater model.We found that hydraulic gradients, acting as the main driver of the groundwater flow in the studied basin, are not exclusively
Zebrafish have emerged as a powerful model of development and cancer.Human, mouse, and zebrafish malignancies exhibit striking histopathologic and molecular similarities, underscoring the remarkable conservation of genetic pathways required to induce cancer.Zebrafish are uniquely suited for large-scale studies in which hundreds of animals can be us
There is a long running debate on the significance of ethnic residential segregation levels in Britain.These phenomena have been related to the extent read more of community cohesion in British cities, and particularly to the riots of 2001 in the north of England.Further light is cast on these issues by examining ethnic segregation by age in the ca
