Currently Iran and Morocco are going through an energy transition. Ambitious plans exist at international, regional and national governance levels to deploy renewable energy sources (RES), such as concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) solar power. These plans foresee deployment of RES to cover local growing energy needs, to diversify energy supply and to benefit from electricity ...

introduction nowadays, due to higher environmental pollution and decreasing fossil fuels many countries make decisions to use renewable fuels and restrict using of fossil fuels. renewable fuels generally produce from biological sources. biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste frying oils. considering the differences be...

AIMS To study early neonatal metabolic adaptation in a hospital population of neonates in Nepal. METHODS A cross sectional study was made of 578 neonates, 0 to 48 hours after birth, in the main maternity hospital in Kathmandu. The following clinical and nutritional variables were assessed: concentrations and age profiles of blood glucose, hydroxybutyrate, lactate, pyruvate, free fatty acids (...

Many years of experience in several industries have shown that the use of wastes as alternative fuels in cement plants is both ecologically and economically justified. However, there are several factors that need assessment before using alternative fuels. Further, availability and cost are important factors too. Along with other alternative fuels, literature and case studies have revealed that ...

This study explored the availability and consumption pattern of various traditional biomass fuels, preference of and expenditure for biomass fuels, problems with the uses of biomass fuels and villagers’ strategy to cope with the biomass fuel problems. Data were collected from 330 households under three wealth categories – well-off, middle and poor households. Households were found to depend lar...

Modern economies rely on the efficiency of their transportation sector; however, environmental impact sector remains a growing concern. Among various proposed solutions, production and deployment alternative fuels is major option. However, concerns exist that actual availability sustainable feedstock might lower current level ambition. This paper addresses this issue by reviewing recent studies...

Fluctuations in availability and recent increases in price of petroleum have had profound effects on the national economy. As synthetic fuels, in particular, hydrogen, become increasingly attractive, nuclear energy has a role in developing such fuels. It is postulated that the nuclear radiation of the fission process itself can be utilized directly in fluid fueled devices or radiation and heat ...
