Mechanical and wear behaviour of pulverised poultry eggshell/sisal fiber hybrid reinforced epoxy composites

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2020
This study investigates the effects of calcined and uncalcined eggshell particles (ESP) and sisal fiber (SF) on the mechanical and wear properties of eggshell particles/sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites.

Waste-to-Energy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This chapter shows that municipal and other waste forms make a significant contribution to GHG emissions and have an adverse impact on other environmental factors (e.g., health, water quality, air, etc.) in those regions where waste management systems are rudimentary or non-existent. Waste-to-energy provides a very limited amount of electricity or heat

Classification of municipal solid waste using deep convolutional neural network model applied to multispectral images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Minimization of the environmental impact of the incineration process and to produce energy efficiently are the most important considerations in obtaining efficient operation of waste-to-energy (WtE) plants.

The health impacts of waste-to-energy emissions: a systematic review of the literature

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Waste-to-energy (WtE) processes, or the combustion of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for energy generation, has the potential to reduce landfill volume while providing a renewable energy source. We aimed to systematically review and summarise current evidence

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Electricity generation in Nigeria from municipal solid waste using the Swedish Wasteto-Energy Model

open access: yesJournal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016
Waste-to-energy (WTE) technology in Nigeria is still at the infancy stage whereas in Sweden the technology is now so advanced that energy in the form of heat and electricity has commercially been recovered from waste.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...
