Frequency of Lost Dogs and Cats in the United States and the Methods Used to Locate Them [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Dogs and cats are a common member of the family in homes across the US. No population-based data exist on the frequency of pets getting lost from the home and lost pets can be a source of human and animal suffering. Our primary objective was to determine

A new method to identify the optimal temperature of latent-heat thermal-energy storage systems for power generation from waste heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The integration of thermal-energy storage (TES) within waste-heat recovery power generation systems has the potential to improve energy-efficiency in many industrial processes with variable and/or intermittent waste-heat streams.

Cascaded structures for blind source recovery [PDF]

open access: yesThe 2002 45th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2002. MWSCAS-2002., 2003
Blind Source Recovery (BSR) is an interesting autonomous and unsupervised stochastic adaptation problem that includes the well-known blind adaptive problems of Blind Source Separation (BSS), Deconvolution (BSD) and Equalization (BSE). BSR includes also the nonlinear case and hence focuses on reproducing or estimating the source signals even if ...

Parametric Study of a Supercritical CO2 Power Cycle for Waste Heat Recovery with Variation in Cold Temperature and Heat Source Temperature

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) power cycle is a promising development for waste heat recovery (WHR) due to its high efficiency despite its simplicity and compactness compared with a steam bottoming cycle.

Circular Economy in Wastewater Management—The Potential of Source-Separating Sanitation in Rural and Peri-Urban Areas of Northern Finland and Sweden

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Current practices in wastewater management lead to inefficient recovery and reuse of nutrients and can result in environmental problems. Source separation systems have been shown to be an efficient way of recovering nutrients and energy from wastewaters,

Pilot-scale anaerobic digestion of on-farm agro-residues: Boosting biogas production and digestate quality with thermophilic post-digestion

open access: yesWaste Management Bulletin
Environmental challenges associated with the disposal of organic farm waste and the growing demand for renewable energy underscore the importance of anaerobic digestion (AD), a process that converts organic matter into biogas and nutrient-rich digestate,

Assessing the Performance of Bio-Based Nitrogen Fertilisers Under Salinity and Drought Stress in Spinach: A Preliminary Trial

open access: yesNitrogen
Recently, the EU approved RENURE-criteria materials to be used as substitutes for synthetic N fertilisers. Several studies have been performed on the agronomic efficacy and potential environmental impacts of different bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) from ...

Nitrogen recovery from digestate via stripping–scrubbing using citric acid: Potential effects of recirculation and postdigestion on additional biogas recovery, and assessment of the fertilizer potential of end-products

open access: yesResources, Environment and Sustainability
This study investigated nitrogen (N) recovery from digestate via the N-stripping–scrubbing process and the effects of digestate recirculation and postdigestion on biogas yield during digestate posttreatment.
