Analysis of energy generation from MSW with auxiliary feed in the north of Iran

Results in Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 18, P. 101185 - 101185

Published: May 20, 2023

Incineration is a suitable method for municipal solid waste disposal; however, many developing countries have not yet effectively used incineration technologies. In some of these communities, the high humidity one primary problems. This paper aimed to evaluate feasibility generating energy from MSW with auxiliary feed in north Iran. study demonstrates how an incinerator waste-to-energy system possible northern Iran and provides major benefits by dramatically improving management. The total amount lower calorific values was estimate power generation. According value waste, proper designed. results indicate that estimated produced desired state 62,000 MWh. Economic evaluated using levelized cost (LCOE), net present (NPV), internal rate return (IRR). NPV this technology be approximately 96.4 m$, uniform electricity unit 0.1 $kWh. Moreover, obtained data showed substituting landfilling through it, annual reduction CO2 pollution 2,440,000 tons can achieved.

Challenges for recycling medium-density fiberboard (MDF)

Results in Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 19, P. 101277 - 101277

Published: July 6, 2023

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is commonly used for furniture manufactured. The increase in demand and the short relative lifecycle have increased generated waste volume, increasing concerns about disposal. Despite being mainly composed of input from a renewable source, very little this material recycled. In sense, aim article performed literature overview MDF recycling technologies presenting challenges perspectives to overcome problem. relevant articles considered review were selected Web Science Scopus databases. first step its disintegration, which inevitably changes properties wood fibers waste. Allied with this, other constituents, like resin, are challenge process that, priori, more appropriately carried out only fibers. Ideally, it would be new panels, however, due mentioned issues, not possible entirety, continuous way (in several cycles). As caloric capacity during combustion, converting energy possibility, especially when sustainable alternatives difficult. An emerging alternative pyrolysis enzymolysis obtain valued products. Further studies needed, both disintegration processes preserve characteristics constituents together favor recycling. It lacking evaluation economic, principally environmental issues each alternative.

The manufacturing industry tries to innovate always cater customer-oriented products. digitization of is revolutionizing the future this industry. Industrial Internet Things (IIoT) bringing down labor cost, reducing machine downtime, and overall increasing production speed. A new technological trend like Machine Learning (ML) a subset Artificial Intelligence (AI) that uses computer algorithms based on available data can improve or decide further, automatically, experience, without need for prior programming commands. ML daily processes identifying bottlenecks, developing products, controlling quality, providing security industry, using AI robotics in place humans. On one hand, technologies ML, AI, IIoT, materials, photonics, rapid prototyping are driving sector adopting version Industry 4.0, other European Commission (EC) has defined roadmap until 2050 more, achieving sustainable goal carbon-neutrality complete digitalization with resilience across continent. However, it challenging match planned actual roadmaps technology-based There uncertainties about how will be shaped by EU changing political, environmental social world environment. Recognizing these difficulties, current article consults literature topic determine factors characterize countries. relevant information sectors first been collected from various sources Eurostat data, EC policy documents, company's annual reports, research reviews, journal articles, Days event, etc. Then were analyzed gain insight into context Commission's outlined policies. Variable different presented member states scenario analysis was used understanding possible future. It concluded does not lie adapting environment but creating companies themselves - revolution must met revolution. Their early experiences path dependency seen as stubbornness, which may act formidable barriers building capabilities. Therefore, step-wise integrate resources create process, structure, personnel motivation, fits broader coming decades.

Genome-wide identification and in-silico expression analysis of carotenoid cleavage oxygenases gene family in Oryza sativa (rice) in response to abiotic stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: Oct. 25, 2023

Rice constitutes a foundational cereal and plays vital role in the culinary sector. However, detriments of abiotic stress on rice quality productivity are noteworthy. Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases ( CCO ) hold importance as they enable particular breakdown carotenoids significantly contribute towards growth response to rice. Due insufficient information regarding CCOs their potential stress, utilization stress-resistant genetic breeding remains limited. The current research identified 16 genes within Oryza sativa japonica group. These Os can be bifurcated into three categories based conserved sequences: NCEDs (9-Cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenases), CCDs (Carotenoid dioxygenases) CCD-like dioxygenases-like). Conserved motifs were found OsCCO gene sequence via MEME analysis multiple alignment. Stress-related cis-elements detected promoter regions OsCCOs genes, indicating involvement response. Additionally, promoters these had various components related plant light, development, hormone responsiveness, suggesting may responsive hormones involved developmental processes. MicroRNAs play pivotal regulation underscoring significance regulation. Transcriptome data suggests tissue-specific expression pattern for . Only OsNCED6 OsNCED10 up-regulated during salt per RNA seq analyses. CCD7 CCD8 levels also higher CCD group inflorescence stage. This provides insight function identifies possible that could beneficial breeding.
