Sorption of four antibiotics onto pristine biochar derived from macadamia nutshell
In this study, the sorption properties of ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim on biochar derived from macadamia nut shells were investigated. The raw biomass was pyrolyzed at 600 °C to create a highly porous material with a surface area of 392 m2/g. The produced biochar was found to be a valuable material for both environmental remediation and carbon sequestration due to its high carbon and oxygen content. The sorption properties of four antibiotics on the produced biochar were compared using Bayesian nonlinear regression based on second-order kinetics and the Langmuir model. The Bayesian estimati...

Narcissism Is Not Associated With Success in  U.S. Army Soldier Training
CONCLUSIONS: Although narcissism has been positively associated with military trainee success in other countries, we did not find an association between narcissism and trainee success among U.S. Army trainees, and accordingly the level of narcissism did not predict trainee success or failure.PMID:37738176 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad365 (Source: Military Medicine)

Evaluation of the fermentation potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from herbs, fruits and vegetables as starter cultures in nut-based milk alternatives
In this study, we screened 593 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates from herbs, fruits and vegetables for their ability to acidify an almond-based milk alternative. The majority of the strongest acidifying plant-based isolates were identified as Lactococcus lactis, which were found to lower the pH of almond milk faster than dairy yoghurt cultures. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 18 plant-based Lc. lactis isolates revealed the presence of sucrose utilisation genes (sacR, sacA, sacB and sacK) in the strongly acidifying strains (n = 17), which were absent in one non-acidifying strain. To confirm the importance of Lc. lactis s...
