The Isolation of Cellulose Nanocrystals from Pistachio Shells and Their Use in Water Actuating Smart Composites
… procedures, pure cellulose was isolated from pistachio shells. Sulfuric acid was used to isolate cellulose nanocrystals from the purified cellulose. The obtained crystals were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The CNCs were …

The Impact of a Controlled 10-Week Pistachio Feeding Crossover Trial on Blood Lipids and Measures of Adiposity
… system. Dietary modifications, such as pistachio consumption, may help prevent CVD and two of its leading risk factors: dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of pistachio consumption (20% daily energy need) on measures of adiposity …

Preparation and Evaluation of Sulfur -Containing Adsorbents for Removal of Mercury From Simulated Coal Combustion Flue Gases
… activated carbon fibers (ACFs), coal fly ash, pistachio shell char (PSC), pistachio activated carbon (PAC), and zeolite adsorbents. Selected samples were impregnated with elemental sulfur at 250--650°C to characterize the samples' properties after sulfur impregnation and to evaluate the …

Exploitation of agricultural and forestry waste: from the recovery of bioactive compounds for nutraceutical applications to the production of innovative materials
… for the first time to recover antioxidants from pistachio and hazelnut shells. Although MAE was previously employed to extract bioactive compounds from almond and walnut shells, the herein optimized MAE conditions led to higher phenolics recovery rates. Moreover, MAE protocols were carefully …

Xenobiotic detoxification in the navel orangeworm Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
… is a major pest of high-value tree crops such as pistachios and almonds. These non-native crops have been grown commercially in the United States for less than 150 years, and the acquisition by the navel orangeworm of these and other novel hosts may have been facilitated by its metabolic capacity …

Processing and Properties of Particulate Reinforced Carbon Matrix Composites
… food waste is of great interest. In this thesis, pistachio shell was used as the organic biomass of choice for carbonization, and reinforcement was provided by titanium powder. These two materials were milled together at two different compositions and milling times. Experimental conditions …

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Genus Pistacia (Anacardiaceae)
… important genus because it contains the pistachio crop, P. vera, which has edible seeds of considerable commercial importance. The evolutionary history of the genus and the taxonomic relationships among the species are controversial and not well understood. This study that has been …

Identifying mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance in the navel orangeworm and novel methods of control
… the most important economic pest of almonds and pistachios in California orchards. Increasing demand for these commodities has resulted in acreage expansions and substantial increases in the application of insecticides to reduce damage by A. transitella. Pyrethroid insecticides have historically …

Slow pyrolysis of agro-food waste to produce biochar and activated carbon for adsorption of pollutants from model wastewater
… watermelon shell, orange peel, pumpkin seeds and pistachio shells) and agricultural crop residues (e.g., canola hull and oar hull) to determine their candidacy for slow pyrolysis to produce biochar, bio-oil, and gaseous products. Process parameters of slow pyrolysis such as temperature, reaction …

Active Learning-Closed-Loop Optimisation for Organic Chemistry and Formulations Research
… an XGB model was trained on source data from the Pistachio online database with the aim to boost performance of a target task which required finding the ideal reaction parameters. While I learned that the weighting of the data as well as the exclusion of the low-quality source data (after a …
