Synthesis, characterization, and process optimization of natural coagulants from jackfruit and durian seeds for turbidity removalNARA Subscribed
Starch was extracted from jackfruit and durian seeds using distilled water and alkaline methods, with higher yields obtained via distilled water (27.7% and 18.4%, respectively). The extracted starches were cationized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTA) to enhance coagulation performance. Characterization confirmed successful functionalization, with particle size increases of 32% (jackfruit) and 45% (...
From Industrial Residue to Agronomic Asset: Gyplime’s Role in Enhancing Wheat Yield and Soil HealthNARA Subscribed
Gyplime, a by-product of lithium extraction, contains high levels of gypsum (calcium sulfate) and lime (calcium carbonate), making it a potentially valuable amendment. This study examined gyplime’s effect on wheat growth, yield, nutrient uptake, and soil health. A glasshouse experiment was conducted using two soil types: Shenton Park and Kojonup, and four gyplime rates: 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10 g pot -1 (equivalent to 0, 1, 2, and...
This systematic review examines the prevalence, underlying mechanisms, cohort characteristics, evaluation criteria, and cohort types in white matter hyperintensity (WMH) pipeline and implementation literature spanning the last two decades. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we categorized WMH segmentation tools based on their methodologies from January 1, 2000, to...
Demonstrating the reliability of in vivo metabolomics based chemical grouping: towards best practiceNARA Subscribed
While grouping/read-across is widely used to fill data gaps, chemical registration dossiers are often rejected due to weak category justifications based on structural similarity only. Metabolomics provides a route to robust chemical categories via evidence of shared molecular effects across source and target substances. To gain international acceptance, this approach must demonstrate high reliability, and best-practice guidanc...
Uncovering the magnitude of African pangolin poaching with extensive nanopore DNA genotyping of seized scalesNARA Subscribed
Trade in pangolins is illegal, and yet tons of their scales and products are seized at various ports. These large seizures are challenging to process and comprehensively genotype for upstream provenance tracing and species identification for prosecution. We implemented a scalable DNA barcoding pipeline in which rapid DNA extraction and MinION sequencing were used to genotype a substantial proportion of pangolin scales subsampl...
Gracilaria aquaculture is one of the fastest‐growing sectors, contributing to 10.5% of the global seaweed feed‐stock supply chain in 2019. It predominantly caters to food‐grade agar, animal feed and non‐food sector applications viz. biotechnology, biomedical and pharmaceuticals. It has witnessed a rapid expansion triggered by increased demand due to commodity trade. Biosecurity‐related issues are the key factors constraining i...
Affecting behavioural change through empowerment: conceptual insights from theory and agricultural case studies in South AsiaNARA Subscribed
Affecting behavioural change is a common underlying goal across environmental and agricultural sciences, from climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity conservation, water management, to crop diversification. However, many projects fail to drive or sustain change despite sound science and good intentions. This paper draws on existing theories of behavioural change to construct a conceptual framework that explores...
