Giulio LolliAbstract: Industrial research targets the reduction of CO2 footprint by means of renewable feedstocks. Three different topics are addressed: the use of the biomass as feedstock for fuels and chemicals, utilization of carbon dioxide as feedstock in the polymer industry, and finally, a concept to apply renewable energy in combination with carbon dioxide to make intermediates for chemical synthesis. These examples have been selected in order to illustrate that the strategic change of feedstocks has to be addressed on different time scales, necessity for the multidisciplinary approach, and the enabling role of catalysis.Ensuring the supply of raw materials, together with supply of energy, is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Already a shift toward the use of biomass or other renewable resources can be seen. In the review the development of new technologies for biodiesel, polycarbonates, and formic acid reforming to CO is presented. The development of these technologies illustrates the actual industrial research and drafts a vision for the future.PubDate: T03:10:08.DOI:

Bernd HitzmannFirst page: 219Abstract: The food industry is the fourth largest industrial sector in Germany. The eagerness for innovation is classified as low. The food industry faces significantly larger challenges compared to the chemical industry since the demands of raw materials on processing are higher and more complex. In this contribution, the characteristics of food manufacturing are presented. The potential of optical process analyzers based on NIR, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy as well as on digital image analysis is demonstrated. These process analyzers can provide important information on raw materials, intermediate and end products, and improve the automation grade of production processes.In the food industry there are high demands for the processing and quality of raw materials. Nevertheless, compared with other industries, the innovation is much lower and few automatization can be found. Using the example of optical measurement methods, the potential of process analytics for the use in food manufacturing processes is discussed.PubDate: T02:50:11.:DOI:

Authors: Mohammad A. ChowdhuryFirst page: 229Abstract: The utilization of the silica‐based materials in biomedical applications is evolving at a rapid pace with attentions mostly devoted to the ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). However, apart from the ordered‐MSNs, a range of other silica‐based materials have been extensively applied in the controlled release (CR) of drugs, bone treatments, and bone regeneration, but have gained less attention. This article presents an overview on the recent research advancements of the silica‐based materials, i.e., silica xerogels, silica microspheres, silica hybrids, silica microcapsule particles, silica ceramics, silica bioactive glasses, and silica beads which are mainly used in CR of drugs, bone disease treatments, and bone regeneration. The in vitro and in vivo biological evaluations on these silica‐based materials for antibacterial properties, osteoblast cell activities, osteogenetic performances, cell adhesion and proliferation, bio‐mineralization, and material degradation are discussed. The effect of morphology or surface modifications and addition of bone morphogenetic proteins to the silica‐based formulations are illustrated.This review presents the current state and perspectives of the controlled release of drugs, bone treatments, and bone regeneration using diverse silica‐based materials excluding ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles. It also discussed various in vitro and in vivo biological evaluations such as bio‐mineralization, osteoblast cells adhesion and proliferation, osteogenetic performances and osteogenic differentiation.PubDate: T02:50:09.:DOI:

Soybean-maize
intercropping on yield and system productivity in Makurdi, Central Nigeria Field experiments were
conducted from July to November, during 2011 and 2012 cropping seasons at the
Research Farm, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria, to evaluate
soybean-maize intercropping on yield and system productivity. Sole soybean, sole
maize and the intercrop of soybean and maize constituted the treatments, which
were laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications.
Results of study showed that intercropping soybean with maize significantly
(P≤0.05) reduced soybean yield by 43.8 % and 55.6 % respectively, in 2011 and
2012. However, maize yield was not significantly (P≤0.05) affected when
intercropped with soybean. Total intercrop yield was greater than the sole crop

Nexus between Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change in Ethiopia This paper focuses mainly on
assessing the food security-agriculture-climate change nexus and
provides multidisciplinary scientific assessment and recommendations for
sustainable agro ecological solutions in the quest of humanity to
sustainable development. While agriculture tend to support the
overwhelming majority of the population in every part of Africa in
general and in Ethiopia in particular, climate change in itself will
very likely affect four key dimensions of the food security including
availability, accessibility, utilization and sustainability of the food,
due to close linkage between food and water security and climate change.
The impacts of climate change and increases in climate variability on
agricultural systems and natural-resource-dependent households, as well

The effect of sustainable land
management (SLM) to
local evidences from Tehuledere Woreda,
Anrs, Northern Ethiopia
Now a days, land degradation has emerged as a
significant threat to the promotion of green economy, wellbeing of the ecology
and ensuring food security. To counteract such a problem, Scaling up SLM
technologies is a drastic solution. It is with this grand theme that this study
was conducted in Tehuledere Woreda in three surrounding districts (Amumo,
Kundimeda and Messal) taking the vulnerability of the area in to consideration.
It shade light at identifying the factors hindering the adoption of SLM
technologies and, the role of SLM technologies to ensure food security, and
assessing the causes of food security in the context of SLM in the study area.
The data used were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. The primary
sources include structured questionnaire survey and focus group discussion
methods. A total of 193 households were interviewed and their responses were
interpreted. Scientific reports and conference proceedings were used to support
the primary data. Descriptive statistics method was used for analyzing among
farm land size, household, topography, erosion status and the adoption of soil
and water conservation practices.
