Evaluation of rape-seed oil production, extraction and use as fuel in modified diesel engines [PDF]
, 2009 End of project reportIt is now well established that rape-seed oil can provide a sustainable source of renewable fuel for diesel engines. The main problem is a high viscosity and vaporisation temperature, which could lead to pumping, atomisation and ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Silver‐doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (Ag/CeO2 NPs) were synthesized using Ricinus communis seed extract as a bio‐derived fuel in a solution combustion method. The combustion reaction, carried out at 450°C with AgNO3 and (NH4)2[Ce (NO3)6] as metal precursors, produced CeO2 and Ag/CeO2 NPs.

Detecting cryptic ghost lineage introgression in four‐taxon genomic datasets
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Hybridization and introgression are pervasive evolutionary forces that have played fundamental roles in shaping the diversity of wild and domesticated plants. Four‐taxon tests for introgression provide a reliable framework for detecting signatures of ancient introgression from genomic data, which have played an important role in ...

Bridging the Gap: Integrating Energy Management with Moisture‐Electric Energy Harvesting
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.This review explores energy management strategies that have been successfully applied in other energy harvesting systems, with the aim of adapting such strategies for MEG applications. Through analysis, learning, and adaptation of these existing systems, it is possible to help MEGs achieve more stable electrical output and accelerate their real‐world ...

Are Biofuels Good for African Development? An Analytical Framework with Evidence from Mozambique and Tanzania [PDF]
Many low income countries in Africa are optimistic that producing biofuels domestically will not only reduce their dependence on imported fossil fuels, but also stimulate economic development, particularly in poorer rural areas.
