Effect of cellulose/hemicellulose and lignin on the bioavailability of toluene sorbed to waste paper

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 38(13), 3731–3736.

Contributors: Y. Chen n, D. Knappe n & M. Barlaz n

MeSH headings : Adsorption; Analysis of Variance; Aspergillus / enzymology; Biodegradation, Environmental; Carbon Dioxide / metabolism; Carbon Radioisotopes; Cellulose / metabolism; Lignin / metabolism; North Carolina; Paper; Polysaccharides / metabolism; Pseudomonas putida / metabolism; Refuse Disposal; Toluene / metabolism; Toluene / pharmacokinetics; Trichoderma / enzymology
TL;DR: The sorption and bioavailability data indicate that the preferential decomposition of cellulose and hemicellulose relative to lignin in landfills should not decrease the overall toluene sorption capacity of paperwaste or increase the bioavailability of sorbed toluenes. (via Semantic Scholar)

Quantification of variability and uncertainty using mixture distributions: Evaluation of sample size, mixing weights, and separation between components

RISK ANALYSIS, 24(3), 553–571.

By: J. Zheng n & H. Frey

Contributors: J. Zheng n

author keywords: bootstrap simulation; mixture distributions; parameter estimation; uncertainty; variability
TL;DR: To evaluate the robustness of using mixture distribution as a basis for estimating both variability and uncertainty, 108 synthetic data sets generated from selected population mixture log-normal distributions were investigated, and properties of variability and uncertainties estimates were evaluated with respect to variation in sample size, mixing weight, and separation between components of mixtures.
