More evidence on the latent benefits of work: bolstered by volunteering while threatened by job insecurity by Eva Selenko, Barbara Stiglbauer, Bernad Batinic

“…Two longitudinal studies conducted in Germany (2 waves; n =110) and the United Kingdom (3 waves; n = 377) showed that volunteering was related to more latent benefits in general, although the specific relationships differed between the countries: In the German sample, volunteering led to more collective purpose and social contacts over time, in the UK sample, it increased time structure and activity. …”

Recovery of excreted n-butanol from genetically engineered cyanobacteria cultures: Process modelling to quantify energy and economic costs of different separation technologies by Jonathan Wagner, Daniel Lee-Lane, Mark Monaghan, Mahdi Sharifzadeh, Klaus Hellgardt

“…Consequently, the recovery of butanol was modelled using four of the most promising butanol separation technologies (distillation, gas stripping, pervaporation and ionic liquid extraction) to calculate the minimum butanol culture concentrations required to render the process energy-positive. With a breakeven concentration of only 3.7 g L -1 , ionic liquid extraction proved much more efficient than the distillation base-case scenario (9.3 g L -1 ), whilst neither pervaporation (10.3 g L -1 ) nor gas stripping (16.9 g L -1 ) could compete on an energy basis with distillation. …”
