EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractON THE CHALLENGES OF THE USE AND INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESMariano MartínOverview: Although renewable energy sources are plentiful, their availability is highly volatile in time and distributed across regions while and the processes that transform them into useful power or chemicals are underdeveloped. In this work we discuss on the scope for the use and integration of renewable energy sources and the future development of the alternatives. Energy, the sources and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 11 Sep 2014 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOPPER STRESS ON CELLULAR CONTENTS AND FATTY ACID PROFILES IN CHLORELLA SPECIESG. Sibi, T.S. Anuraag, Geeta BafilaHigher photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production with rapid growth makes microalgae as potential candidates over other energy crops in many applications. Heavy metals influence the production of secondary metabolites and lipd content of microalgae in particular. A study was conducted using six Chlorella species under heavy metal exposure to evaluate the copper stress on biomass, cellular and lipid contents. Preliminary … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2014 · 7,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Option for Small Scale Cashew Nut Processing in IndiaAtul Mohod, Sudhir Jain, A.G. PowarProblem statement: Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) is one of the important tropical crops. India processed about 11,80,000 metric tons of raw cashew nut seeds through 3650 cashew processing industries scattered in many states of country. The cashew nut processing industries are typically located in the rural and backward areas. The most significant difficulty in processing cashew nuts is that the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 16,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompetition Effects of Date of Sowing and Nutsedge Removal Time on Yield and Yield Contributing Characters of Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter]Abdul Shukor Juraimi, Mahfuza Begum, Ahmed Mohammed Sherif, Anuar Abdul RahimProblem statement: Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] is a C4 grass, most important indigenous cereal crop in Ethiopia. The average grain yield of this crop is low; averaging <0.8 Mg ha-1. Under appropriate cultural practices such as the right sowing date, sowing rate, weeding time and fertilizer application, tef could produce grain yields of 2200-4599 kg ha-1. A delay in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTropospheric Ozone Effects on the Productivity of Some Crops in Central Saudi ArabiaAkram Ali, Ahmad Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson et al.This study was conducted to evaluate damaging degree of ambient ozone (O3) levels in certain economically important crops in typical areas of the central KSA (Riyadh). Daily mean ozone concentrations were recorded by portable O3 analyzers in the center of Batha, Naseem, Oleya and Industrial City, from the beginning of October, 2006 to middle of June, 2007. Maseef area was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Equation of Bio-Coal Briquettes and Quantity of Maize Cob in Phitsanulok, ThailandPatomsok WilaiponOne of the most important crops in Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, is maize. Base on the calculation, the quantity of maize cob produced in this region was approximately 220 kton year-1. The net heating value of maize cob was found to be 14.2 MJ kg-1. Therefore, the total energy over 874 TJ year-1 can be obtained from this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Maturity Level in Laying Hen Manure by Chemical and Thermogravimetric AnalysisAlice Dall’Ara, Francesco Antolini, Laura Billi et al.This study aims at investigating maturity levels in manure from laying hens in order to encourage its agronomic re-utilization. In fact the use of unstable/insufficiently mature manure could potentially damage both soils and crops. Effective, easy to reproduce methods are needed in order to assess bio-stabilisation and maturity levels, particularly for biomass that has not undergone conventional composting. This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPoly-Species Phytocenoses for Ecosystem Restoration of Degraded Soil CoversAlmabek B. Nugmanov, Sergey V. Mamikhin, Khusain Kh. Valiev et al.Agroecological studies are based on the concept that, by understanding ecological processes, it is possible to manage agroecosystems for more sustainable production of more biomass and, thus, protection of natural resources. Many studies in the field of agroecology show that some farming methods can improve soil quality and restore agroecosystems by increasing plant biodiversity. Functional characteristics of plants for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2022 · 5,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAlkali Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cattails from Constructed WetlandsBo Zhang, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang et al.Problem statement: To date, production of liquid fuel, particularly ethanol, has only been economically feasible from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. However, the use of arable land for fuel rather than for food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than as food have created issues in prices and availability of traditional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDensity Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-PressurePatomsok WilaiponProblem statement: Agricultural residues seem to be the most promising energy resources for developing countries. However, the majority of them have low energy density. One of the favorable technologies for enhancing that property is briquetting. For the case of Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, cassava is one of the most important crops. Therefore, a large amount of cassava stalk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
