"We realized we could build a business around people's desire to digitize and downsize their possessions as well as sell or trade the music they have," he said in a telephone interview, "and we also realized there was a valuable material stream here".
The most abundant compound found in fresh resin is abietic acid because Venice turpentine is a valuable material used only in fine arts.
PET can be converted into polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin, which can be a valuable material for injection and blow-moulding applications.
Overall, our studies suggest that D3S could be a valuable material for designing functional foods against oxidative stress-related diseases and diabetes.
In terms of CO2 conversion, since CO is a valuable material in many chemical processes, the conversion of CO2 to CO through the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction by catalytic hydrogenation is recognized as the most promising process.
Our results suggest that porous chitosan-GPTMS hybrids can be a valuable material for fashioning nerve guides aimed at bridging nerve defects.
Although both parental lines did not differ for many traits, the significant genetic variation found among RILs for all traits, except for kernel damage, showed that this population is a valuable material to detect QTLs among European germplasm, especially for MCB resistance.
Residues and by-products from plants, animals, and microorganisms are a valuable stock material to be used in a wide range of sectors, including bioenergy, fertilizers, food, feed, biomaterials (textiles, adhesives), or other fields.
In some areas, metal signs are a valuable building material, and it's not uncommon to see a mine warning used, for example, to patch a metal roof.
