TL;DR: In this article, the phonon dispersion curves for the 12 external and the four lowest internal modes in d8-naphthalene (C10D8) have been determined at 6K for the ( xi, 0,0), (0, xi, 0), ( 0, 0, xi ), (1/2, xI, 0) and ( x i, xa, 0) directions by coherent inelastic neutron scattering.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the extent to which future energy scenarios in Ghana could rely on energy from biomass sources, through the production of biogas, liquid biofuels and electricity.

TL;DR: The authors revisited the main assumptions behind the African Rural Energy Enterprise Development (AREED) initiative (2002-2012), and other donor-backed programmes, designed to promote small and medium-sized energy enterprises (energy SMEs).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present findings from primary research conducted into the "African Rural Energy Enterprise Development" (AREED) programme, which was a donor-backed effort to support small and medium-sized energy enterprises, implemented in five countries by United Nations Environmental Programme between 2002 and 2012, as a means to expand access to sustainable energy products and services in sub-Saharan Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the main outputs of the Technology Needs Assessment project implemented in 10 African countries from 2010 to 2013 were examined by examining so-called "technology action plans" and found that governments' strategies to promoting solar PV are moving from isolated projects towards frameworks for market development and that there are high expectations to upgrading in the PV value chain through local assembly of panels and local production of other system elements.
