Increases in petroleum prices have affected the prices of its derived products. In addition, the interest in issues related to the environment and energy security at world-wide level has been increased. All of these fact...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the feeding behavior of feedlot Nellore bulls fed two levels of concentrate (650 and 710 g/kg dry matter) with or without the inclusion of 350 g babassu mesocarp meal/kg...

ABSTRACT Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have well-documented benefits, including increasing students’ access to research, fostering science identity, and improving retention in STEM. However, C...

Waste materials from agricultural and food packaging usage pose significant health and environmental challenges, where the main source of waste originates from plastics and protein-based amino acids, and their thermal de...

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of sunflower seed shells was performed using a two-stage fixed bed reactor to produce partially deoxygenated bio-oils. Ketonization and aldol condensation reactions were performed in a dual bed r...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of alternative protein sources (castor bean cake, sunflower cake, and sunflower seed) to soybean meal on the intake and performance of 40 lambs, initially w...

Abstract The article presents an interdisciplinary study examining the environmental and economic implications of introducing low-carbon fuels in coastal shipping. The main focus is on the comparison of alternative energ...

This research project aims to investigate fuel tankering practices in the aviation industry, exploring their relation to carbon emissions and evaluating the Brazilian fuel tankering scenario in comparison to global and n...

The advancement of global endeavors to mitigate climate change is largely influenced by developments within China’s transportation sector. This study focuses on the crucial role of biodiesel as a biofuel in China’s t...

ABSTRACT Amphibians are excellent bioindicators because they are sensitive to chemical pollution and can indicate ecosystem changes due to the presence of or exposure to chemical compounds. Here we report evidence of the...
