Cloud computing has emerged as a flexible and powerful computing platform which offers different types of services to users. However, the energy consumption and carbon emission in cloud data centre have massive impact on global environment triggering intense research in this area. Growth in demand for cloud based services is resulting in increasing of utilization of cloud resources and conseque...

The torrefaction characteristics and energy utilization of microalga Chlamydomonas sp. JSC4 (C. sp. JSC4) residue under the combination of temperature and duration are studied by examining contour maps. The torrefaction temperature on the contour line of solid yield has a trend to linearly decrease with increasing duration. An index of relative energy efficiency (REE) is introduced to identify ...

one of the most important issues about production structure and measurement of factors utilization in industry is the study of substitutability among the production factors. while, energy, for its particular features like finite and the direct relationship between energy usage and air pollution; and specifically abundance of energy resources and allocation of subsidies to different energy carri...

BACKGROUND Sucrose is an naturally abundant and easily fermentable feedstock for various biochemical production processes. By now, several sucrose utilization pathways have been identified and characterized. Among them, the pathway consists of sucrose permease and sucrose phosphorylase is an energy-conserving sucrose utilization pathway because it consumes less ATP when comparing to other known...

Nowadays, there are lots of problems in Cloud data center such as high energy consumption and low efficiency. We model a cloud environment with physical hosts and virtual machines, and design an Energy-Aware Virtual Machine Scheduling strategy (EAVMS) to reduce energy consumption and improve utilization rate by integrating system resource such as computing, storage and bandwidth resources. Expe...

Geothermal energy is a clean, green renewable resource, which can be utilized for power generation, heating, cooling, and could effectively replace oil, gas, and coal. In recent years, oil companies have put more efforts into exploiting and utilizing geothermal energy with advanced technologies for heat-tracing oil gathering and transportation, central heating, etc., which has not only reduced ...

In the context of mitigating climate change and increase energy security, the utilization of biomass in the energy sector is expected to play a major role. However, to estimate the possibility of fulfilling national goals concerning the future use of biomass sources and to estimate the future use of biomass sources in the energy sector, the current energy system models needs to be further devel...

In addition to structural and functional abnormalities, it is well established that energy homeostasis is impaired in the failing heart. As the heart requires large amounts of energy to sustain its continuous pumping activity, it is highly dependent on an optimal substrate metabolism with efficient ATP generation and utilization. Alterations in processes related to energy production as well as ...
