The increasing rate of food waste (FW) generation globally, makes it an attractive resource for renewable energy through anaerobic digestion (AD). biogas recovered from AD can be upgraded by the methanation internally produced carbon dioxide, CO2 with externally sourced hydrogen gas, H2 (biomethanation). In this work, was added to reactors processing FW in three successive phases, digestate pre...

Bayesian networks are parametric models for multidimensional domains exhibiting complex dependencies between the dimensions (domain variables). A central problem in learning such models is how to regularize the number of parameters; in other words, how to determine which dependencies are significant and which are not. The normalized maximum likelihood (NML) distribution or code offers an inform...

Bioplastics have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional plastics, marketed environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. They provide variety of methods for efficient waste management contributing the goals circular economy. At their end-of-life stage, bioplastics can generate added value through aerobic anaerobic biological treatments (composting or digestion). In this study,...

In the field of prediction with expert advice, a standard goal is to sequentially predict data as well as the best expert in some reference set of ‘expert predictors’. Universal data compression, a subfield of information theory, can be thought of as a special case. Here, the set of expert predictors is a statistical model, i.e. a family of probability distributions, and the predictions are sco...

PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to investigate changes in lower extremity joint energy absorption for different landing heights and landing techniques. METHODS Nine healthy, active male subjects volunteered to perform step-off landings from three different heights (0.32 m, 2.5 m(-s); 0.62 m, 3.5 m(-s); and 1.03 m, 4.5 m(-s)) using three different landing techniques (soft, SFL; normal, NM...
