Renewable Energy Policy Considerations for Deploying Renewables

Walnut Meal as an Excellent Source of Energy and Protein for Growing Japanese Quails

The present study was designed to study the chemical composition, apparent and true metabolizable energy values of the walnut meal and to evaluate the effects of different levels of walnut meal (0, 10, 20 and 30%) on Japanese quail's growth performance, blood metabolites, relative weight of different organs, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in breast meat and egg yolks' cholesterol. This stu...

Energy in buildings: Efficiency, renewables and storage

— This lecture summary provides a short but comprehensive overview on the “energy and buildings” topic. Buildings account for roughly 40% of the global energy demands. Thus, an increased adoption of existing and upcoming materials and solutions for the building sector represents an enormous potential to reduce building related energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions. The central question is...

Molasses as an energy source for cattle.

Molasses has been used as a major energy component of feedlot diets for about 15 years (Preston et al. 1967). Over the last 5 years of drought conditions molasses has been extensively fed to cattle in large areas of north-east Australia applying the principles for its use advocated by Preston and his colleagues (see Preston & Willis 1974). A prerequisite of drought feeding is for low labour cos...

Cyanate as energy source for nitrifiers

Ammoniaand nitrite-oxidizers are collectively responsible for the aerobic oxidation of ammonia via nitrite to nitrate and play essential roles for the global biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. The physiology of these nitrifying microbes has been intensively studied since the first experiments of Sergei Winogradsky more than a century ago. Urea and ammonia are the only recognized energy sources that...
