Diauxic growth of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 when grown on mixtures of glucose and cellobiose

TL;DR: Kinetic studies indicated that a diauxic growth occurs when both glucose and cellobiose are present in the medium, and the nature of the carbon source deriving from a cellulose hydrolysis pre-treatment could strongly influence the kinetic performances of a fermentation process with C. acetobutylicum.

Reducing carbon emissions from soybean cultivation to oil production in Thailand

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the carbon equivalences of whole-chain soybean oil production, starting from plantation until production of soybeans, and evaluated appropriate approaches for the reduction of carbon emissions.

Forecasting the spatial distribution of logging residues across the Canadian managed forest

TL;DR: There is a growing interest in using logging residues as feedstock in the bioeconomy as discussed by the authors, but quantifying the amount of this resource over large areas has been difficult due to the lack of availability of...

The impact of air-fuel mixture composition on SI engine performance during natural gas and producer gas combustion

TL;DR: In this article, the SI engine was operated under full open throttle and charged with different air-fuel mixture composition (changed value of air excess ratio). The spark timing was adjusted to obtain maximum brake torque (MBT) for each fuel and air fuel mixture.

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.

TL;DR: The potential of a restored landfill site to act as a biomass source, providing fuel to supplement landfill gas-fuelled power stations, is examined, together with a comparison of the economics of power production from purpose-grown biomass versus waste-biomass.
