The introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) has altered the way society operates things. ICT is used in various sectors, including agriculture. It can be used in the agricultural sector to distribute pricing and encourage agricultural commodity exports. The study aims to investigate the effect of ICT on cashew nut export in Benin using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach. Data were collected over the period of 31 years (1990–2020) in Benin. The estimated results showed that mobile cellular telephone subscription is negatively and significantly correlated wi

Increasing amounts of sewage sludge (SS) and phosphorus-induced eutrophication are major global issues, and this study addresses both under a unified approach, by exploring the potential of biochar derived from SS gasification in an experimental plant as an efficient adsorbent for phosphate removal in synthetic wastewater. The key innovation involves the use of a novel biochar, generated as a byproduct of an innovative gasification process, without any additional pretreatment. This approach could help reduce both environmental and economic burdens in potential real-world applications. Pristine

Minor changes in the quality of biologically manufactured monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can affect their bioactivity and efficacy. One of the most important variations concerns the N-glycosylation pattern, which directly affects an anti-tumor mechanism called antibody-dependent cell-meditated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Thus, careful engineering of mAbs is expected to enhance both protein-receptor binding and ADCC.
