Waste Management (WM) is increasingly becoming one of the major concerns in the modern world. The traditional way of make-use-dispose has created significant challenges for societies due to the increased level of landfills. Therefore, utilizing the generated waste as an integral part of the Circular Economy (CE) concept is turning out to be an important […]

B. W. BioEnergy Inc. has developed and characterized three major carbon samples from a renewable, cost-efficient feedstock, the Alder and Willow trees. B.W. BioEnergy Inc. has identified the need for facile methods of activating Torrified Alder tree biomass and probing the potential application of these biomasses to adsorb various industrial pollutants in the aqueous phase […]

Despite the advances in medical science over the years, a great number of the world population still lacks access to basic healthcare. The health disparity between people in low resource settings and developed countries cannot be overemphasized. The disparity in health between developing and developed countries is evident in their life expectancy. However, the current […]

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to use in vitro and in vivo models to validate the hypothesis that the ironchelator, DIBI, can selectively inhibit the proliferation and survival of breast cancer cells and that the combination of this chelator with radiation or standard chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., cisplatin and docetaxel) increases the sensitivity of […]
