INTegrated ACoustic Toolkit (INTACT)

BACKGROUND Historically, acoustic emissions (AE) have been used to determine critical failures in infrastructure such as cracks or faults. The frequency sent through the structure changes as faults occur in the structure due to cyclical stress. This allows sensors to register the change in frequency and categorize the change in a data log. Other sensors...

Novel fungal glycosyl hydrolases, their production and uses thereof

BACKGROUND In the biofuels industry, enzymes are used to convert agricultural residues, such as sorghum stover, into simple sugars for fuel and chemical production. Conventional biological conversion relies on pretreating the biomass, which is expensive and requires the use of harsh chemicals. Conversely, fungi-derived enzymes (cellulases, hemicellulases,...
