TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture design of five model components, including xylan (hemicellulose), crystalline cellulose, alkaline lignin, soya protein and soybean oil, was used to predict the yield of biocrude and solid residue.

TL;DR: These laboratory experiments suggest that exposure to sublethal concentrations of imidacloprid and azadirachtin could stimulate reproduction in Green peach aphid, M. persicae.

TL;DR: Results suggest that lavender essential oil yield may not increase after 60 min DT, and the change in essentialOil yield, andThe concentrations of cineole, fenchol and linalool acetate as DT changes were modeled very well by the asymptotic nonlinear regression model.

TL;DR: A unique model for the prediction of HTL products yield via a mixture design of biomass model components coupled with process variables was developed, and it was observed that within the experimental design range, relatively mild HTL conditions eliminated alkaline lignin-lipid interaction and protein-lipids interaction, and thus enhanced biocrude formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, field and laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the productivity and essential oil composition of lavender ( Lavandula angustifolia mill.) and hyssop ( Hyssopus officinalis L.) as functions of year, harvest time, and drying.
