The document discusses the technical textiles sector in the UK and Northern Ireland. It notes that technical textiles make up 25% of the global textiles market worth $253 billion, with the UK market at £9 billion including £1.5-2 billion from technical textiles. Northern Ireland's textiles sector is worth £700 million employing 4,500 people and includes 100 growing companies. It recommends creating a network of Northern Ireland technical textiles companies to leverage supply chain advantages and access Innovate UK funding by making the case for technical textiles to be considered high value manufacturing.
The European chemical industry is a key economic sector for the EU, with 29,000 companies employing 1.17 million people and generating €551 billion in revenues in 2014. The industry represents 17% of global chemical production. However, the EU's share of the global chemicals market has nearly halved over the past 20 years. The document outlines competitiveness challenges for the EU chemical industry, particularly high energy costs relative to other regions. It argues that energy, climate, and innovation policies will be crucial in shaping the industry's competitiveness going forward. The global demand for chemicals is expected to double by 2030, with much of that growth in Asia, so EU policymakers need to consider how to ensure chemical production remains in Europe.

The document summarizes research on gray wolf populations in the Northern Rockies region. It discusses how the region provided suitable habitat for wolves historically due to available prey and habitat. While wolves went extinct in the region due to human hunting, they began recolonizing in the 1970s from dispersing Canadian wolves. The recovery of wolves was further supported by protection under the ESA and reintroduction efforts. Current wolf populations are strongly influenced by available prey populations like deer and elk in the region.
The failed coup attempt in the Philippines sought to overthrow President Corazon Aquino's government. Led by Colonel Gregorio Honasan, 800 Philippine army troops launched surprise attacks on Malacanang Palace and other areas of Manila in the early morning hours. While the President and her supporters prevailed in repelling the attacks, her son was seriously wounded in the violence that left at least 20 people dead. The coup underscored the deep dissatisfaction within the military over conditions and Aquino's handling of issues like land reform and the Communist insurgency, threatening the stability of the country's young democracy.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
1. Circular Economy – Waste Proposals
5 ways to make them work for indispensable metals
2. Europe already leads the world in base metals recycling…
And high potential for
recovering precious &
critical metals from
e-waste and other
applications
3. …but too many metals still escape the loop
of base metals are exported annually,
without guarantee of quality treatment
of EU e-waste is not properly recycled
• 33% recycled under non-compliant conditions
• 15% exported without guarantee of proper treatment
• 17% discarded or scavenged
65%
4. Measure real recycling rates
Promote high-quality treatment
Ensure exported waste is recycled under equivalent conditions
Establish ambitious and effective targets
Harmonise definitions for by-products and classification of waste
The solution? Prioritise material recovery
Five key measures to strengthen the Commission waste proposals
5. 1. Measure real recycling rates
Our Call:
A harmonised calculation point will incentivize material recovery:
Measure recycling rates at input to the ‘final recycling process’OUR
CALL
6. 2. Promote high-quality metals treatment
Promote the high-quality treatment of metals - especially for complex
waste streams such as e-waste and portable batteries.
OUR
CALL
High-quality
treatment
Low-quality
treatment
Maximum number of metals
& high yields
High environmental
standards
Safe treatment & recycling
of hazardous substances
Small number of metals &
low yields
Lack of environmental
standards
Improper treatment of
hazardous substances
7. Annual EU waste exports,
without guarantee of
high-quality treatment:
3. Make sure exported waste is recycled under equivalent
conditions
1 million tonnes
1 million tonnes
>70 000 tonnes
1.3 million tonnes
Require that waste exports are recycled under “equivalent conditions”
to count towards recycling targets. Define this through a Delegated Act.

CALL

8. 4. Establish ambitious and effective targets
Maintain ambitious EU targets to minimise landfill, and to boost real
recycling of municipal, construction & packaging waste.
OUR
CALL
In some countries, landfill rates are still as high as 97%
Landfill &
Incineration
Recycling

9. 5. Harmonise definitions for byproducts and
classification of waste
Waste codes & classifications are not harmonised across Member States,
creating trade barriers:
“Anode slimes”
(containing precious metals)
EU-level EURAL codes exist, but some Member States use national codes
Set-up a “harmonization committee”, to work towards better
EU-level harmonization of waste
OUR
CALL
Byproducts Hazardous waste
“Electronic Scrap”
Non-hazardous Hazardous
10. Reminder:
Key measures to strengthen waste proposals
Measure real recycling rates
Promote high-quality treatment
Make sure exported waste is recycled under equivalent conditions
Establish ambitious and effective targets
Harmonise definitions for by-products and classification of waste
