Assessment of diesel fuel quality. [PDF]
Diesel is an essential energy source in the transportation and industrial sectors worldwide; hence, the quality of this commodity is crucial. This study compares various fuel samples to understand the quality of the fuels in terms of sulphur content, density, surface tension, viscosity, and calorific value.

A renewable power system for an off-grid sustainable telescope fueled by solar power, batteries and green hydrogen [PDF]
A large portion of astronomy's carbon footprint stems from fossil fuels supplying the power demand of astronomical observatories. Here, we explore various isolated low-carbon power system setups for the newly planned Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope, and compare them to a business-as-usual diesel power generated system.
