Red yeast as a sustainable platform for bio oil and natural pigment production
Abstract: Oleaginous yeast represents a promising biotechnological platform for the sustainable production of bio-oil, an alternative to fossil-derived fuels. These microorganisms can accumulate lipids up to 20–70% of their dry cell weight, primarily in the form of triacylglycerols that are structurally similar to plant and animal oils. Among them, certain species exhibit distinctive red or pink pigmentation and are collectively referred to as red yeasts. These yeasts not only synthesize significant …

Adoption Barriers to Advanced Reproductive Technologies in the Subsistence Dairy Farming Systems: Key Constraints and the Way Forward
Abstract: The adoption of advanced reproductive technologies (ARTs) in subsistence dairy farming remains limited despite their potential to enhance genetic improvement, fertility rates, and overall productivity. This study explores the key constraints hindering the integration of ARTs, including artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and ovulation synchronization, within small-scale dairy production systems. Financial constraints, lack of awareness, inadequate veterinary support, and socio-cultural resistance are identified as primary barriers. Limited access to affordable credit, …

An experimental study on flexural behavior of RC beams of Alccofine-based engineered concrete infusing steel fibers
Abstract: The innovations in concrete being engineered to the specific requirements have found a new dimension under sustainability. Alccofine is a sustainable construction material derived from GGBS. The primary objective of the study is to explore the potential of Alccofine particles in varying proportions in combination with 0.5% steel fibers to uplift the flexural strength of the engineered concrete. As concrete is known to be a brittle material once hardened, exhibits …
