Carbon Efficient Transport Management Using Multi-agent System
2014 IEEE 23rd International WETICE Conference, 2014This paper presents a carbon efficient transport management system that uses agent-based technology to simulate the existing transport infrastructure of a city. By utilizing real-time information about the current use of transport infrastructure from different data sources (e.g. road-side sensors) the system is capable of providing guidance to everyday

Carbon use efficiency diagnostics in Nannochloropsis salina
Algal Research, 2018Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be a significant resource input affecting the cost of algae biomass production on an industrial scale. Improvements in biofuel productivity therefore require characterization of CO2 use efficiency (CUE). RuBisCO saturation with CO2 is an important factor influencing biomass productivity.

Energy Efficient Construction Using Carbon Neutral Blocks
Advanced Materials Research, 2014The present paper highlights the adoption of carbon neutral building blocks in various structural elements of building to reduce GHG emissions. The Soil-Cement Fly Ash (SCF) blocks developed can be used in masonry, lintels and slab panels to reduce energy to a greater extent. While the energy content of the block developed is zero (carbon neutral), the

Carbon Use Efficiency in Optimal Environments
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1989<div class="htmlview paragraph">Crop physiologists have often been suprised at the lack of correlation between single leaf photosynthesis and yield. Conversely, canopy photosynthesis is highly correlated with yield. This difference should not be suprising because canopy photosynthesis is an integrated measure of 3 of the 4 physiological ...

Carbon isotopes and water use efficiency: sense and sensitivity
Oecologia, 2008We revisit the relationship between plant water use efficiency and carbon isotope signatures (delta(13)C) of plant material. Based on the definitions of intrinsic, instantaneous and integrated water use efficiency, we discuss the implications for interpreting delta(13)C data from leaf to landscape levels, and across diurnal to decadal timescales ...

High efficient carbon dioxides reduction using nonthermal plasma desorption
2017 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, 2017We develop a highly efficient CO2 reduction treatment system using an adsorbent and a nonthermal plasma flow in the laboratory scale. The plasma reactor consists of twelve surface discharge elements which are energized by a 10 kHz bipolar pulsed high voltage power supply.

Efficient lactulose production from cheese whey using sodium carbonate
Food Chemistry, 2015An economical method of lactulose production from cheese whey was developed using sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). Three parameters such as temperature, reaction time, and Na2CO3 concentration were identified as experimental factors, and yield was selected as a response parameter. The experimental factors were optimised employing Response Surface Methodology
