Enhancing biomolecule production from Bacillus velezensis PhCL using low-cost agricultural residues as feedstock and improving biomass hydrolysis through enzyme mutagenesis
(2023)
Bioproduction have been considered an alternative option for obtaining useful and
eco-friendly chemicals for industrial applications. Bacillus velezensis, a trending bacterium
first isolated in 2005, is well-known for ...
Challenged by compassion: an exploration of the lived experience of compassion fatigue among Canadian nurses who worked during COVID-19
(2023)
The experience of compassion fatigue is a serious challenge within caregiving
professions. Scholars agree that although the symptoms of compassion fatigue are similar to
burnout and secondary stress disorder, there is ...
A spatial analysis of the relationship between forest demographic dynamics and diversity under climate change
(2023)
Forest dynamics arise from three demographic processes simultaneously, namely recruitment,
mortality and growth, all of which are expected to accelerate for the boreal forest under future
climate change. Tree species ...
Parental decision-making in the face of climate change
(2023)

Toward foodsheds: reimagining food systems in the Lake Superior watershed
(2023)
The Lake Superior watershed is nested within multiple Indigenous territories, two
settler-colonial nation-states, and a globalized capitalist economic system. While water
flows freely, the pursuit of social and ecological ...
Effects of gratitude and cognitive load on delay discounting: replication failures in two experiments
(2023)
Delay discounting is the phenomenon whereby the value of future rewards is discounted as a
function of time. Individual differences in discounting rate have been linked to a range of

(2023)
The COVID-19 global pandemic exacerbated and altered death- and
non-death-related loss, insisting that grief and bereavement adhere to protocols that were
unfamiliar and sometimes even prohibitive to moving forward in a ...
Effects of nitrogen supply on the physiological and morphological responses to elevated [CO2] in yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.)
(2023)
Ongoing climate changes can substantially impact soil nitrogen availability through its
effects on other environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation, and the frequency
and intensity of extreme whether ...
A high throughput screening and characterization of laccase-producing bacterium Serratia quinivorans AORB19 that exhibits lignin degradation traits, dye decolorization efficiency, and enhanced laccase production in biomass
(2023)
Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) assumes a vital role in the degradation of lignin by utilizing oxygen as an oxidant
and catalyzing bond cleavage in both phenolic and nonphenolic lignin model compounds. However, their
industrial ...
