Mining and smelting of vanadium uranium ore results in the release and coexistence of vanadium and uranium in the environment, raising severe risks. The feasibility of synchronous removal of pentavalent vanadium (V(V)) and hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) was investigated in mixotrophic column reactor...

Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds having both hydrophobic as well as hydrophilicmoieties. They tend to possess surface active characteristics by decreasing the surface tensionbetween the interfaces. Generally, a molecule of surfactant consists of a lipophilic group,usually a long-chain...

The production of bioetanol and sugar from sugarcane is an important economic activity in several countries. Sugarcane is susceptible to different phytopathogens. Over the last years, the red strip disease caused by the bacterium Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae produced significant losses in...

This paper investigates the local impact of biomedical research on mortality in the USA. Causally estimating the marginal value of biomedical research is challenging due to a lack of micro data linking health outcomes to plausibly exogenous variation in research. We create a new linkage between...

The paper at hand provides deep insights into the development of the German bioeconomy at the municipality level. The aim was to find out which determinants play a role in the location of bioeconomy patents at the municipality level and to analyze the respective stages of the bioeconomy in the...

The pharmaceutical industry discovers, develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceutical drugs for use as medications to be administered (or self-administered) to patients, intending to cure them, vaccinate them, or alleviate the symptoms. Pharmaceutical companies may deal in generic or...

Recent policy attention has focused on proposals to reduce prices for drugs that have received public funding. From an implementation perspective, such policies rely on public disclosure of government support for research. In this paper, we highlight two conceptual problems with past attempts to...

The paper explores consumers’ acceptance of New Breeding Techniques (NBTs) in the agri-food sector. Our main research question concerns the role of information in shaping consumers’ attitude towards genetically modified food and new breeding techniques in agricultural production. To this...
