Summary: Two nickel alumina catalysts were synthesized by different methods and evaluated for their catalytic efficiency in the transformation of sunflower oil into green diesel. The catalyst prepared by co-precipitation showed higher efficiency due to its higher specific surface area and smaller nickel nanoparticle size compared to the catalyst prepared by wet impregnation. Increasing the activation temperature resulted in larger nickel nanoparticles and decreased catalytic efficiency. The optimized reaction conditions achieved complete transformation of sunflower oil and waste cooking oil into green diesel with high yield.

Summary: The development of hydro-processed renewable diesel (HRD) was carried out in a lab-scale fixed-bed catalytic reactor. The performance and emissions of D100, H20, and B20 were evaluated using a turbocharged diesel engine. HRD showed little impact on CO and NOx emissions, reduced CO2 emissions by 7.4% compared to D100, and had lower HC emissions than D100 at high engine speeds. HRD also significantly reduced smoke emissions compared to biodiesel. The engine using H20 had better combustion stability and performance compared to D100 and B20.

Summary: With the increasing global concern on diesel engine exhaust emissions, biofuels serve as a better alternative for compression ignition engines, but may lead to increased nitrogen oxide emissions which are harmful to human health. Research found that B20 blend fuel is the most effective in reducing emissions, particularly with a maximum reduction of unburned hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, smoke, and carbon dioxide emissions. Increasing exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates can effectively reduce NOx emissions but may result in higher emissions of other pollutants.

Summary: This study investigated the performance of a four-stroke large marine diesel engine using different fuel mixtures. The results showed that a reasonable compromise can be achieved by using the diesel-ethanol15 mixture, which can reduce NOx emissions. However, using the B20-ethanol05 mixture at low speed will reduce soot emissions but increase NOx emissions. At high speed, the diesel-ethanol15 mixture performs well in reducing both soot and NOx emissions.

Summary: Researchers are studying alternative fuels for internal combustion engines to improve performance and lessen pollution. This research focuses on replacing standard diesel with blended fuels. The experiments involved mixtures of diesel, biodiesel, methanol, and nitromethane to find the optimal blend and engine conditions for enhanced performance and reduced emissions. The B10NM3 blend (made up of 85% diesel, 10% biodiesel, 2% methanol, and 3% nitromethane) showed the best performance and lowest pollution levels under normal engine conditions. However, NOx emissions increased by 7.2%.

Summary: Phenotypic screening of a compound library against Mycobacterium tuberculosis led to the identification of a cluster of pan-active compounds with a novel mechanism of action. These compounds exerted bactericidal effects on replicating Mtb and showed potential resistance mechanisms involving mutations in MmpL3.RNA transcriptional profiling and checkerboard 2D-MIC assays suggested perturbation of Fe-homeostasis by the compounds. Structure-activity relationship studies identified potent compounds with good physicochemical properties and moderate selectivity over cytotoxicity against mammalian cell lines.

Summary: A novel series of compounds was identified from a high-throughput screening campaign against Plasmodium falciparum, showing activity against multiple stages of the parasite lifecycle and providing a promising starting point for medicinal chemistry optimization and biological profiling. Further studies revealed compounds with low nanomolar asexual blood-stage activity and strong gametocyte sterilizing properties, which translated to transmission-blocking activity in standard assays. Mechanistic studies suggested the involvement of the P. falciparum cyclic amine resistance locus in resistance development.

Summary: The objective of this study was to determine the most relevant water sorption isotherm for use in simulation models for cassava root processing. The study found that the variety of cassava and the level of processing generally have little to no influence on sorption behavior, and there is no significant hysteresis between adsorption and desorption. Therefore, measuring the sorption properties specific to each batch of product is irrelevant for simulation purposes. Global properties representing average product behavior are preferred for equipment pre-design. According to the wisdom of crowds theory, the average value of sorption measurements from a sufficiently large dataset representing products from various origins accurately represents the behavior of an average product for simulation purposes.

Summary: The pressure on water resources worldwide, aggravated by rapid industrialization, particularly from the food industry and sugar factories, poses a significant challenge. Sugarcane production requires large amounts of water, with over half being discharged as wastewater mixed with various byproducts. Untreated wastewater discharges can have detrimental environmental effects, highlighting the need for effective treatment and reuse methods. Conventional treatment systems may not be sufficient for treating sugarcane industry effluent due to its high organic load and variable chemical and mineral pollution. Exploring pollution-remediating technologies such as membrane bioreactors could provide a sustainable approach to the treatment of sugarcane industry wastewater.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
