NEW PROSPECTS OF WASTE INVOLVEMENT IN MARINE FUEL OIL: EVOLUTION OF COMPOSITION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR FUEL WITH SULFUR CONTENT UP TO 0.5%

New Prospects of Waste Involvement in Marine Fuel Oil: Evolution of Composition and Requirements for Fuel with Sulfur Content up to 0.5%

Research was carried out on the possibility of involving oil refining wastes and petrochemical by-products in marine fuel oil.It was shown that the properties of the studied products (VAT distillation residue of butyl alcohols, heavy pyrolysis tar, desalted phenol production tar, waste motor oil mixture) mainly differ from primary and secondary oil

Transcriptomic analyses of the termite, Cryptotermes secundus, reveal a gene network underlying a long lifespan and high fecundity

Lin et al.use transcriptomics in the social termite, Cryptotermes secundus, to investigate potential pathways underlying the long lifespan p3221d and high fecundity of insect queens.They find a module of coexpressed genes in queens that is enriched for pathways involved in fecundity, juvenile hormone signaling, and chemical communication.In particu
