Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is part of the pathway to consolidate waste as a relevant alternative for valorization organic waste. The objective SSF produce one or several bioproducts added value from solid substrates. can use wide variety substrates thus, it an excellent candidate in framework circular bioeconomy change status feedstock. development was boosted previous decade by scientific ...

We report a simple approach to the fabrication of hierarchical nanoparticle arrays and film patterns using a novel combination of colloidal lithography (CL), two-step self-assembly, and reactive-ion etching (RIE). In this approach, a uniform nanoparticle film (∼15-50 nm particle diameter) is first deposited on a substrate. Then, larger (several hundred to thousands of nanometers diameter) micro...

molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of kob-anderson binary lennard-jones (blj) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. the presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...

BACKGROUND Biorefineries serve to efficiently utilize biomass and their by-products. Algal biorefineries are designed to generate bioproducts for commercial use. Due to the high carbohydrate content of algal biomass, biorefinery to generate biofuels, such as bioethanol, is of great interest. Carrageenan is a predominant polysaccharide hydrocolloid found in red macroalgae and is widely used in f...

Currently, Mexico is facing an energy transition, therefore updated policy regulations pertaining to the sustainable use of biomass are needed. In particular, that favors produce and bioproducts privilege climate change mitigation This review describes maguey (Agave spp.) nopal (Opuntia spp.; also known as “cactus”) for biofuel production, especially in marginal areas. Emphasis given on documen...

We investigate the optical forces acting on a metallic nanoparticle when the nanoparticle is introduced within a photonic nanojet (PNJ). Optical forces at resonance and off-resonance conditions of the microcylinder or nanoparticle are investigated. Under proper polarization conditions, the whispering gallery mode can be excited in the microcylinder, even at off resonance provided that scatterin...
