Biomass derived fuels are preferred as alternative fuels for IC engine due to its abundant availability and renewable nature. In the present work, the complete replacement of diesel fuel with bio-fuels is studied, where the bio-fuels, namely, methyl ester of palm kernel oil and eucalyptus oil were chosen and used as fuel in the form of blends. Various proportions of palm kernel oil and eucalypt...

The use of liquid fuels necessitates methods to assess the quality and suitability of these fuels for their intended use. Traditionally, this is performed through a series of chemical and physical tests. However, in some operational situations, streamlined methods to reliably evaluate fuel quality would offer distinct advantages. The Naval Research Laboratory has been engaged in a research prog...

Muscle in all animals relies upon four potential sources of energy: ATP hydrolysis, phosphagen hydrolysis, fermentations or oxidative metabolism. Although the relative contributions of different fuels varies greatly in different organisms, in none is there a simple reliance on stored ATP. Muscle work therefore requires a balance between rates of utilization and formation of ATP, a provision sup...

nowadays the position of the renewable energy is so important because of the environment pollution and the limitation of fossil fuels in the world. energy can be generated more and more by the renewable sources, but the fossil fuels are non-renewable. one of the most important renewable sources is the wind energy. the wind energy is an appropriate alternative source of fossil fuel. the replacem...

BACKGROUND Use of biomass fuels has been shown to contribute to ill health and complications in pregnancy outcomes such as low birthweight, neonatal deaths and mortality in developing countries. However, there is insufficient evidence of this association in the Sub-Saharan Africa and the Malawian population. We, therefore, investigated effects of exposure to biomass fuels on reduced birth weigh...

Forest fragmentation affects the heterogeneity of accumulated fuels by increasing the diversity of forest types and by increasing forest edges. This heterogeneity has implications in how we manage fuels, fire, and forests. Understanding the relative importance of fragmentation on woody biomass within a single climatic regime, and along climatic gradients, will improve our ability to manage fore...

The air pollution-related health benefits of interventions to reduce indoor air pollution from cooking and heating with solid fuels are evaluated in South and South-east Asia, Africa, and the Americas using generalized cost-effectiveness methodology. Three scenarios are assessed: 1) providing access to cleaner fuels, (2) providing access to improved stoves, and (3) providing part of the populat...

Ecological disturbances frequently control the occurrence and patterning of dominant plants in high-diversity communities like C(4) grasslands and savannas. In such ecosystems disturbance-related processes can have important implications for species, and for whole communities when those species are dominant, yet mechanistic understanding of such processes remains fragmentary. Multiple bunchgras...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. We evaluated the characteristics of stable COPD patients in the pulmonology clinics of seven Asian cities and also evaluated whether the exposure to biomass fuels and dusty jobs were related to respiratory symptoms, airflow limitation, and quality of life in t...

Environmental filtering—abiotic and biotic constraints on the demographic performance of individual organisms—is a widespread mechanism of selection in communities. A given individual is “filtered out” (i.e., selectively removed) when environmental conditions or disturbances like fires preclude its survival and reproduction. Although interactions between these filters and dispersal from the reg...
