Ni supported over activated carbon (AC) based on olive stones were tested for methane decomposition to produce hydrogen. Physical (by H 2 O) and chemical 3 PO 4 ) activations compared. Kinetic parameters of determined depending load, partial pressure reaction temperature. The catalysts characterized before after by N adsorption, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). sh...

Aim of the present article is to show the results obtained from the application of neuro-fuzzy methodology in the solution of agriculture problems like the Bactrocera Oleae (olive fly) infestation in the Liguria region olive grows. The research is focused to create an informatic decisional instrument to support experts in the applications of Integrated Pest Management strategies against the Bac...

The amount of ground olive stone available in Spain surpasses the needs construction industry for lightweight aggregate. objective herein is to generate a material, mortar, with different percentages stone, and then evaluate mechanical performance viability these materials manufacture elements used sector. To this end, an experiment was designed nine dosages three types cement. In all, 378 test...

This paper investigates a method for the determination of the maximum sampling error and confidence intervals of thermal properties obtained from thermogravimetric analysis (TG analysis) for several lignocellulosic materials (ground olive stone, almond shell, pine pellets and oak pellets), completing previous work of the same authors. A comparison has been made between results of TG analysis an...

Abstract. The activation of aerosol into cloud droplets is an important step in the formation clouds and strongly influences radiative budget Earth. Explicitly simulating Earth system models challenging due to computational complexity required resolve necessary chemical physical processes their interactions. As such, various parameterizations have been developed approximate these details at red...

INTRODUCTION The phenolic compounds of olive leaves and olive oils in the Mediterranean diet have been associated with a reduced incidence of heart disease. Accordingly, antioxidant-rich diets may prevent the deleterious effects of oxidative metabolism by scavenging free radicals, thus inhibiting oxidation and delaying atherosclerosis. The process involves phospholipase C activation and arachid...
