Low-tech and low-process approaches to low-embodied carbon buildings (2025)

Abstract Chapter 8 explores the potential of low-tech and low-process approaches to reducing embodied carbon in buildings by drawing on the wisdom and practices of the Global South. The chapter argues that sustainability in construction can be significantly advanced by focusing on localized, low-cost, and low-carbon solutions, rather than relying solely on cutting-edge technologies. It presents three key principles learned from the Global South: designing systems rather than isola

Characteristics of composite materials based on polylactic acid (PLA) (2023)

Polylactic acid (PLA) is aliphatic thermoplastic polyester. Composites based on PLA are biocompatible, biodegradable and non-toxic, which are the main advantages of using such composites. Based on the research results described in this paper, it was concluded that by adding natural fibers to the composite, certain characteristics can be significantly improved. This paper describes some of composite material characteristics based on PLA, modification of PLA, advantages and disadvantages of using

Characterization of Polylactic Acid Filament With Biodegradable Hemp Fiber Infused During Additive Manufacturing Process (2022)

Abstract Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is one of the common methods among the Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. In this study, hemp fiber, a sustainable, and fast degraded material introduced and mixed with fresh Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament with 3 wt%, 7.5 wt%, and 10 wt% to improve the drawbacks of pure PLA filament and sustain its required properties. The results from the fatigue testing of pure PLA, and various hemp-fiber infused PLA indicated that increasing the wt%

Chirality in Cannabinoid Research (2021)

Mankind has long utilized Cannabis for diverse purposes. However, it has only been since the late 19th century that its individual cannabinoids began to be isolated, analyzed, and synthesized. By the mid-20th century it was discovered that many cannabinoids were asymmetric, with chirality often controlling their pharmacology. Increasingly accurate measurement and understanding of cannabinoid chirality will facilitate their synthesis an

Acidic Cannabinoid Decarboxylation (2022)

Introduction: Cannabis is a valuable plant, cultivated by humans for millennia. However, it has only been in the past several decades that biologists have begun to clarify the interesting Cannabis biosynthesis details, especially the production of its fascinating natural products termed acidic cannabinoids.

An In Vitro Phytohormone Survey Reveals Concerted Regulation of the Cannabis Glandular Trichome Disc Cell Proteome (2024)

Cannabis sativa flower glandular trichomes (GTs) are the main site of cannabinoid synthesis. Phytohormones, such as jasmonic acid (JAS) and salicylic acid (SAL) have been shown to increase cannabinoid content in Cannabis flowers, but how this is regulated remains unknown. This study aimed to understand the mechanisms of action of phytohormones on mature GT disc cells using an in vitro assay. Live GT disc cells were isolated from a high-tetrahydrocannabinol Cannabis cultivar and incubated on basa
