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

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Harnessing nuclear energy for India's energy security: Current status, challenges, and future opportunities

open access: yesResults in Engineering
India's escalating energy requirements, anticipated to surpass 2500 TWh by the year 2030, are primarily fulfilled through coal, which consequently leads to substantial carbon emissions and poses risks to energy security.
