Utilization of Residues from Microalgal Industries for Agricultural Practices: A comprehensive review
(Elsevier, 2025-09) Mohsin, Muhammad Zubair; Þórarinsdóttir, Ragnheiður; Brynjólfsson, Sigurður; Wu, Bing; Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Verkfræði- og náttúruvísindasvið (HÍ); School of Engineering and Natural Sciences (UI)
Global consumptions of fertilizers and freshwater have been continuously growing due to increased food demand, leading to great concerns on food security. Bio-based resilient nutrient resources such as microalgae-derived waste biomass and wastewater have gained great attention as alternative solid and liquid fertilizer resources because they contain key nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), organic compounds (acting as soil conditioner, growth stimulators), and micronutrients. Thus, microalgae-derived solid and liquid fertilizers have great potential in promoting plant growth in soil and/or hydroponic farming, controlling release of nutrients to avoid nutrient leaching and volatilization, and facilitating to achieve circular economy in microalgal industries. However, several challenges, such as imbalanced nutrient element ratios, causes of heavy metal accumulation and increased pH/conductivity, may limit their wide applications. Several recent-published review articles have documented the application of fresh microalgal biomass as fertilizer sources via direct use and conversion methods or recycling cultivation medium for microalgal growth, but no review has been conducted on utilization of microalgal processing wastewater and biomass residues for agriculture practices. Herein, this article provides a comprehensive review on the processes relating to recovery of resources (water, nutrients, valuable plant growth compounds) from microalgae processing wastewater and biomass residues generated in microalgal biorefinery industries, and identifies the key factors that are associated with the resource recovery efficiency and their effects on plant growth.

Reimagining Cross-Functional Design in the Age of AI : A Preliminary Investigation
(2025-06-11) Kahn, Kenneth B.; Candi, Marina; Department of Business and Economics
Being cross-functional in design work can enable effective innovation, though the relevance of ‘being cross-functional’ and the related concept of ‘T-shaped’ individuals could potentially change in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Reporting results of interviews with design managers, we explore what being cross-functional means for design, the benefits and challenges inherent in cross-functional design work, and AI’s possible impact on the nature of being cross-functional during design activities. Manager responses emphasized the importance of being cross-functional in design work. Noted challenges of cross-functional work include conflicting priorities, differing opinions, unclear roles, loss of design influence, multitasking pressure, and personality differences. Noted benefits include broader viewpoint, creativity versus practicality balance, healthy tension, diverse perspectives, early issue identification, and well-rounded solutions. Regarding the effects of AI, the transformation of cross-functional work by automating routine tasks and enabling deeper data-driven insights is foreseen, but there is disagreement on the degree of change. Some see a shift in the cognitive burden on individuals, allowing them to focus more on creative and integrative tasks, others not so much. All agree that AI tools offer significant opportunities for synthesizing information and managing mundane project management tasks. Managerial and research implications are suggested.
