Much More Than Enriched Myocardial Fuel

As in many other medical specialties, cardiac surgery is exploring its boundaries. The patient population scheduled for cardiac surgery is aging, and the surgical procedures are becoming more complex, leading to significant comorbidity. In addition, the myocardium is often poorly functioning; cardiac remodeling resulting from myocardial ischemic events or longstanding volume and/or pressure ove...

Fuel Processors for PEM Fuel Cells

Objectives • Demonstrate high performance desulfurizer, catalyst, micro-reactor and microcombustor/ microvaporizer concepts that will enable production of compact fuel processors for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells • Design, fabricate and evaluate a 1-kWe fuel-flexible fuel processor during the first 36 months (one of the fuels capable of being reformed will be EPA Phase II reformulat...

Microbial Fuel Cells

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are a promising technology for sustainable production of alternative energy and waste treatment. A microbial fuel cell transformation chemical energy in the chemical bonds in organic compounds to electrical energy through catalytic reactions of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. It has been known for many years that it is possible to generate electricity direc...
