Hydrothermal Upgrading of Korean MSW for Solid Fuel Production: Effect of MSW Composition

Cosmo MSW effect for mass varying neutrinos

We consider neutrinos with varying masses which arise in scenarios relating neutrino masses to the dark energy density in the universe. We point out that the neutrino mass variation can lead to level crossing and thus a cosmo MSW effect, having dramatic consequences for the flavor ratio of astrophysical neutrinos and the composition of the relic neutrino background. Two of the most mysterious p...

MSW effect for large mixing angles

The traditional physical description of neutrino flavor conversion in the Sun focuses on the notion of resonance. However, the resonance picture is valid only in the limit of small mixing angles θ. For large values of θ, the resonance picture leads to seemingly paradoxical results. This observation is important for understanding the physics of neutrino flavor conversion in the Sun, since the la...

Optimizing Cellulase Production from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) using Solid State Fermentation (SSF)

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is one of the key topics in environmental protection [1]. In England, around 23.7 million tons of household waste was generated in 2009/10, which equates to 1036 Kg per household [2]. The current technologies for MSW treatment are incineration, landfill, composting and anaerobic digestion. Recently, anaerobic conversion of MSW into biogas has attracted gro...

The MSW Effect in Quantum Field Theory

Recent results from the Super-Kamiokande experiment [1] have confirmed, with high statistics, the reality of the solar [2] and atmospheric [3] neutrino anomalies. In the case of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly, the SuperKamiokande data can be interpreted as providing evidence that the anomaly is due to neutrino flavor mixing [4], and “long baseline” accelerator and reactor neutrino experiments...
