Unveiling the mechanisms of carboxylic acid esterification on acid zeolites for biomass-to-energy: A review of the catalytic process through experimental and computational studies.

In recent years, there has been significant interest from industrial and academic areas in the esterification of carboxylic acids catalyzed by acidic zeolites, as it represents a sustainable and economically viable approach to producing a wide range of high-value-added products. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews that address the intricate reaction mechanisms occurring at the catalyst interface at both the experimental and atomistic levels. Therefore, in this review, we provide an overview of the esterification reaction on acidic zeolites based on experimental and theoretical studies.

AgDataBox-IoT - application development for agrometeorological stations in smart.

Currently, Brazil is one of the world's largest grain producers and exporters. Agriculture has already entered its 4.0 version (2017), also known as digital agriculture, when the industry has entered the 4.

The longitudinal impact of war exposure on psychopathology in Syrian and Iraqi refugee youth.

Background: War and natural disasters lead to forced migration - and increased risk of adverse psychological outcomes - in approximately 1% of the global population. Though recent years have brought a greater understanding of the consequences of war exposure on mental health outcomes for refugee children, little is known about the longitudinal and developmental impact of these experiences on youth.

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of direct exposure to war and/or combat on trajectories of symptoms related to anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Syrian and Iraqi refugee youth following resettlement.

Growing degree-hours and degree-days in two management zones for each phenological stage of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Monitoring the climatic conditions of crops is essential for smart agriculture development and adaptation of agricultural systems in the era of global change. Thereby, it is possibly better to understand the stages of development of the crop, thus adopting management practices more efficiently and planning the harvest with greater accuracy. This study was developed to analyze the growing degree-hours and degree-days in two management zones (MZs) for each phenological stage of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

The fear that remains: Associations between trauma, related psychopathology, and fear-potentiated startle in youth resettled as refugees.

Fear-potentiated startle (FPS) can be used to measure fear and safety learning-behaviors affected by trauma that may map onto posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Therefore, FPS could be a candidate biomarker of trauma-related psychopathology and a potential identifier of trauma-exposed youth in need of focused treatment. We enrolled n = 71 (35 females, M  = 12.
