Highlights Dielectric permittivities of switchgrass and corn stover in the radio frequency range were calculated. Prediction models achieved R 2 > 0.9, except for loss factor material motion. The factors different when static motion, but dielectric constants similar. Abstract . properties biological materials are relevant developing moisture content sensors. However, little is known abou...

An integrated green process for the valorization of corn stover with multiple functional NaCl in GVL/H 2 O.

Two studies were conducted to identify methods for treating crop residues to improve digestibility and value in finishing diets based on corn grain and corn wet distillers grain with solubles (WDGS). In Exp. 1, 336 yearling steers (initial BW 356 ± 11.5 kg) were used in a 2 × 3 + 1 factorial arrangement of treatments with 6 pens per treatment. Factors were 3 crop residues (corn cobs, wheat stra...

Increasing demand for land-based climate mitigation requires more efficient management of agricultural landscapes competing objectives. Here we develop methods assessing trade-offs and synergies between intensification carbon-sequestering conservation measures in annual crop production using the DayCent ecosystem model Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, Energy Use Technologies (GREET) life-...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Lignocellulosic biomass, such as corn stover, is a potential raw material for ethanol production. One step in the process of producing ethanol from lignocellulose is enzymatic hydrolysis, which produces fermentable sugars from carbohydrates present in the corn stover in the form of cellulose and hemicellulose. A pretreatment step is crucial to achieve efficient conversi...

BACKGROUND In a biorefinery producing cellulosic biofuels, biomass pretreatment will significantly influence the efficacy of enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation. Comparison of different biomass pretreatment techniques by studying the impact of pretreatment on downstream operations at industrially relevant conditions and performing comprehensive mass balances will help focus attentio...

We present the full genome sequence of Clostridium sp. strain BNL1100, a Gram-positive, endospore-forming, lignocellulolytic bacterium isolated from a corn stover enrichment culture. The 4,613,747-bp genome of strain BNL1100 contains 4,025 putative protein-coding genes, of which 103 are glycoside hydrolases, the highest detected number in cluster III clostridia.
