Socioenvironmental implications of Jatropha curcas cultivation for biodiesel supply in postmining communities

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Seismic Analysis of Reticulated Shell Structure Based on Sensor Network for Smart Transportation Seismic Isolation Bearings

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022
Earthquakes are one of the most frequent and inevitable natural disasters that occur on Earth. The most important seismic isolation device used in the isolation technology is the isolation bearing, but the limited structure of the isolation bearing is ...

Recognition of elementary arm movements using orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper we present a method for recognising three fundamental movements of the human arm (reach and retrieve, lift cup to mouth, rotation of the arm) by determining the orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist.

Sequencing Finance for Climate Resilience: Instruments, Institutions and Hong Kong's Role in Mobilising Private Capital in Southeast Asia

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates innovative financing strategies to mobilise private capital for climate adaptation, emphasising Hong Kong's role in advancing efforts across Southeast Asia. Using expert interviews and case studies, it addresses two key questions: which financial instruments can strengthen public–private collaboration, and what best ...

Inertial Control of the VIRGO Superattenuator

, 1999
The VIRGO superattenuator (SA) is effective in depressing the seismic noise below the thermal noise level above 4 Hz. On the other hand, the residual mirror motion associated to the SA normal modes can saturate the dynamics of the interferometer locking ...

Machine learning for gravitational-wave detection: surrogate Wiener filtering for the prediction and optimized cancellation of Newtonian noise at Virgo

, 2020
The cancellation of noise from terrestrial gravity fluctuations, also known as Newtonian noise (NN), in gravitational-wave detectors is a formidable challenge. Gravity fluctuations result from density perturbations associated with environmental fields, e.

Hyperledger Fabric for the (digitalized) lifecycle of construction products: Applied review on fastening technology

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 9-22, March 2025.
Abstract Blockchain technology is a digital decentralized data ledger recording transactions in an encrypted format. Its implementation can potentially hold significant advantages for the built environment, particularly in manufacturing and building product usage aligned with Building Information Modeling (BIM). This paradigm shift toward decentralized

Performance Evaluation of Low-Cost Seismic Sensors for Dense Earthquake Early Warning: 2018–2019 Field Testing in Southwest China

Sensors, 2019
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) was proved to be a potential means of disaster reduction. Unfortunately, the performance of the EEW system is largely determined by the density of EEW network.
