We use GRACE estimates, burned area, carbon emissions, and hydroclimatic data to study the relationship between biomass burning and water storage losses. The analysis shows that extensive biomass burning results in excessive evapotranspiration, which then increases long-term water storage losses in the fire-prone region of Kalimantan. Our results show the potentials of GRACE and its follow-on missions in assisting water storage and fire managements in a region with extensive biomass burning such as Kalimantan.]]> Wed 19 Jan 2022 15:16:59 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46367 Wed 16 Nov 2022 08:58:48 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50307 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:46:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37826 Wed 12 May 2021 09:25:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38198 Wed 11 Aug 2021 09:23:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22246 Gossypium spp.) is an important economic crop and the largest source of textile fiber in the world. However, to date, only a few genes have been identified that exhibit critical roles in fiber development, and few has shown positive effects on fiber yield and quality in transgenic cotton. Here, we report the characterization of a novel sucrose synthase (SusA1) gene from a superior quality fiber germplasm line 7235 in Gossypium hirsutum. By association analysis, GhSusA1 was highly correlated with fiber qualities in (7235× TM-1) recombinant inbred lines based on polymorphism of GhSusA1 between 7235 and TM-1. Subsequently, based on an interspecific population of 141 BC₁ individuals generated from the cross between TM-1 and Gossypium barbadense line, Hai7124, we further mapped GhSusA1 genes on homeologous chromosomes A8 (chro.8) and D8 (chro.24). Suppression of GhSusA1 in transgenic cotton reduced fiber quality and decreased the boll size and seed weight. Importantly, overexpression of this gene increased fiber length and strength, with the latter indicated by the enhanced thickening of cell wall during secondary wall formation stage. Moreover, increasing GhSusA1 transcript abundance in vegetative tissues led to elevated seedling biomass. Together, these findings identified GhSusA1 as a key regulator of sink strength in cotton, which is tightly associated with productivity, and hence a promising candidate gene that can be developed to increase cotton fiber yield and quality.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:38:15 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10301 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:47:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20006 Wed 05 Dec 2018 18:00:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33570 Wed 05 Aug 2020 11:21:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38360 Tue 31 Aug 2021 09:29:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54537 Tue 27 Feb 2024 20:42:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54423 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:50:04 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54407 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:49:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39758 Tue 21 Jun 2022 09:29:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43113 Tue 13 Sep 2022 13:50:24 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33371 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:26:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34720 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:26:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33571 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:00:10 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34961 Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis can be pretreated with low cost choline amino acid based ionic liquids to effectively yield lipids (30.6% and 51% total lipids) and sugars (71% and 26% total sugars).

The effects of catalyst type, pyrolysis temperature, and biomass/catalyst ratio on product distribution and composition were studied. Among four catalysts tested, Na₂CO₃ significantly increased the selectivity of phenolic compounds in bio-oil during microwave pyrolysis. The highest phenolics concentration of 57.36% (area) was obtained at 500 °C and PT:Na₂CO₃ ratio of 8: 1. The catalytic effect to produce phenolic compounds among all the catalysts tested can be summarized in the order Na₂CO₃>Fe₃O₄>KOH>NaOH. Using KOH and NaOH as catalyst resulted in formation of bio-oil with enhanced higher heating value (HHV) and lower oxygen content, indicating that these catalysts enhanced the deoxygenation of bio-oil. The scanning-electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis of char particles showed the melting of magnetite and vaporizationcondensation of mineral salt catalysts on char particle, which was attributed to extremely high local temperatures during microwave heating.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3468 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:20:34 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24779 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:07 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25039 Eucalyptus pulverulenta (EP) was studied using a fixed-bed reactor in the temperature range of 300-500 °C and the bio-oil composition was analyzed by using a GC-MS. The results showed that the highest bio-oil yield of 38.45 wt% was obtained at 400 °C in the presence of Na₂CO₃, and the concentration of methoxyaromatics reached the maximum value of 63.4%(area) in the bio-oil. The major methoxyaromatics identified in bio-oil were guaiacol, syringol, 4-ethyl-2-methoxy phenol, and 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene. The analysis of gaseous products indicated that CO₂ was the major gas at low-temperatures and concentrations of H₂ and CH₄ increased with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Na₂CO₃ promoted the formation of methoxyaromatics, while NaOH seems to have enhanced the formation of phenolics. The mechanism of the formation of methoxyaromatics during pyrolysis of EP was proposed.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48420 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:34:27 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50301 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:28:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53602 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:21:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53603 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:21:19 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53576 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:20:35 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38914 tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidizing and methylating reagent catalyzed by mesoporous alumina nanospheres-embedded with CuO nanoparticles (CuO/m-Al₂O₃). The CuO/m-Al₂O₃ catalysts with different copper contents were prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly of a structure-directing agent (Pluronic P-123). The decomposition of P-123 during calcination in air results into the formation of a mesoporous structure with highly dispersed CuO nanoparticles. The as-prepared 6-CuO/m-Al₂O₃ exhibits excellent catalytic activity towards oxidative methyl-esterification of HMF into FDMC with 92% yield and turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.56 h^-1.
