TL;DR: Torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis process carried out at 200-300°C under inert condition as discussed by the authors, which is a viable option to overcome the issues associated with biomass feedstock is to carry out a pretreatment process called torrefaction.
Abstract: Biomass and its utilization have been intimately associated to renewable energy in the recent years. However, the undesirable properties of biomass such as high moisture content and its heterogeneous nature pose a barrier to its competitiveness in the energy generation market. A viable option to overcome the issues associated with biomass feedstock is to carry out a pretreatment process called torrefaction. Torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis process carried out at 200–300 °C under inert condition. In this review, a survey of the recent research work on torrefaction is presented. The properties of biomass before and after torrefaction are discussed. Literature data are tabulated for various types of biomass utilized in the torrefaction study. A brief account on the kinetic study is outlined in the present paper. Some aspects of recent commercial development in the torrefaction process are reviewed and cited.

TL;DR: This review aims to give a brief overview of the field, providing an introduction into the literature for students and newcomers; as it is written for the un‐initiated, wherever possible, review articles will be cited rather than original papers.
Abstract: Apoptosis has become a major research area in the biomedical sciences. As there are more than 13,000 papers published annually on the topic, it is impossible to keep track on all developments in the area. The individual aspects of molecular control of apoptosis are well reviewed, but more general, introductory recent reviews into the field are lacking. This review aims to give a brief overview of the field, providing an introduction into the literature for students and newcomers; as it is written for the un-initiated, wherever possible, review articles will be cited rather than original papers.

TL;DR: Evidence from fundamental, epidemiological and clinical trial studies indicates that apo B is superior to any of the cholesterol indices to recognize those at increased risk of vascular disease and to judge the adequacy of lipid‐lowering therapy.
Abstract: There is abundant evidence that the risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease is directly related to plasma cholesterol levels. Accordingly, all of the national and transnational screening and therapeutic guidelines are based on total or LDL cholesterol. This presumes that cholesterol is the most important lipoprotein-related proatherogenic risk variable. On the contrary, risk appears to be more directly related to the number of circulating atherogenic particles that contact and enter the arterial wall than to the measured concentration of cholesterol in these lipoprotein fractions. Each of the atherogenic lipoprotein particles contains a single molecule of apolipoprotein (apo) B and therefore the concentration of apo B provides a direct measure of the number of circulating atherogenic lipoproteins. Evidence from fundamental, epidemiological and clinical trial studies indicates that apo B is superior to any of the cholesterol indices to recognize those at increased risk of vascular disease and to judge the adequacy of lipid-lowering therapy. On the basis of this evidence, we believe that apo B should be included in all guidelines as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. In addition, the present target adopted by the Canadian guideline groups of an apo B <90 mg dL(-1) in high-risk patients should be reassessed in the light of the new clinical trial results and a new ultra-low target of <80 mg dL(-1) be considered. The evidence also indicates that the apo B/apo A-I ratio is superior to any of the conventional cholesterol ratios in patients without symptomatic vascular disease or diabetes to evaluate the lipoprotein-related risk of vascular disease.

TL;DR: Improvements in efficiency are found upon backbone fluorination of the donor polymer to afford the novel material PFBDB-T and the resulting blend with C8-ITIC shows an impressive PCE up to 13.2% as a result of the higher open-circuit voltage.
Abstract: A new synthetic route, to prepare an alkylated indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-based nonfullerene acceptor (C8-ITIC), is reported. Compared to the reported ITIC with phenylalkyl side chains, the new acceptor C8-ITIC exhibits a reduction in the optical band gap, higher absorptivity, and an increased propensity to crystallize. Accordingly, blends with the donor polymer PBDB-T exhibit a power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 12.4%. Further improvements in efficiency are found upon backbone fluorination of the donor polymer to afford the novel material PFBDB-T. The resulting blend with C8-ITIC shows an impressive PCE up to 13.2% as a result of the higher open-circuit voltage. Electroluminescence studies demonstrate that backbone fluorination reduces the energy loss of the blends, with PFBDB-T/C8-ITIC-based cells exhibiting a small energy loss of 0.6 eV combined with a high JSC of 19.6 mA cm-2 .
