Conversion of Soluble Compounds in Distillery Wastewater into Fungal Biomass and Metabolites Using Australian Ganoderma Isolates Open
Stillage is an acidic residue from ethanol production that has a high carbon load. Here, Ganoderma isolates were assessed for the treatment of rum stillage while producing biomass and associated metabolites. Isolates grew in 25% raw stilla…

Mineral Prospectivity Mapping and Differential Metal Endowment Between Two Greenstone Belts in the Canadian Superior Craton Open
Mineral prospectivity maps were produced for gold in two greenstone belts in the Superior geological province in Ontario, Canada, as part of the Metal Earth Project in the Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario. These maps, created using …

Distributions of Lanostene-Derived Triterpenoids and Glucan Content in the Fruiting Bodies of the Australian Ganoderma Species Open
Lanostene-derived triterpenoids and β-glucans are important metabolites in Ganoderma mushrooms associated with benefits to human health. The medicinal value of the Australian Ganoderma species remains unclear, with no data on triterpenoid …

cegpy: Modelling with Chain Event Graphs in Python Open
Chain event graphs (CEGs) are a recent family of probabilistic graphical models that generalise the popular Bayesian networks (BNs) family. Crucially, unlike BNs, a CEG is able to embed, within its graph and its statistical model, asymmetr…

Scalable Model Selection for Staged Trees: Mean-posterior Clustering and Binary Trees Open
Several structure-learning algorithms for staged trees, asymmetric extensions of Bayesian networks, have been proposed. However, these either do not scale efficiently as the number of variables considered increases, a priori restrict the s…

Prospective CO2 and CO bioconversion into ectoines using novel microbial platforms Open
Microbial conversion of CO 2 and CO into chemicals is a promising route that can contribute to the cost-effective reduction of anthropogenic green house and waste gas emissions and create a more circular economy. However, the biotechnologi…

Score Equivalence for Staged Trees Open
Staged trees are a recently-developed, powerful family of probabilistic graphical models. An equivalence class of staged trees has now been characterised, and two fundamental statistical operators have been defined to traverse the equivale…

Bayesian Model Averaging of Chain Event Graphs for Robust Explanatory Modelling Open
Chain Event Graphs (CEGs) are a widely applicable class of probabilistic graphical model that can represent context-specific independence statements and asymmetric unfoldings of events in an easily interpretable way. Existing model selecti…

Building A Bayesian Decision Support System for Evaluating COVID-19 Countermeasure Strategies Open
Decision making in the face of a disaster requires the consideration of several complex factors. In such cases, Bayesian multi-criteria decision analysis provides a framework for decision making. In this paper, we present how to construct …

The effect of methane and odd-chain fatty acids on 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) synthesis by a Methylosinus-dominated mixed culture Open
A methanotrophic community was enriched in a semi-continuous reactor under non-aseptic conditions with methane and ammonia as carbon and nitrogen source. After a year of operation, Methylosinus sp., accounted for 80% relative abundance of …

Current approaches to the discovery of novel inhaled medicines Open
Inhaled administration is underutilised because the drug discovery process is viewed as challenging, risky, and expensive. However, unmet medical need continues to grow, and significant opportunities exist to discover novel inhaled medicin…

Thermal Properties of Biochars Derived from Waste Biomass Generated by Agricultural and Forestry Sectors Open
Waste residues produced by agricultural and forestry industries can generate energy and are regarded as a promising source of sustainable fuels. Pyrolysis, where waste biomass is heated under low-oxygen conditions, has recently attracted a…
