It is known that plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) elicit positive effects on plant growth and biomass yield. However, the actual mechanism behind the plant-PGPB interaction is poorly understood, and the literature is scarce regarding the thermochemical pretreatability and enzymatic degradability of biomass derived from PGPB-inoculated plants. Most recent transcriptional analyses of PGPB s...

New, small-scale electric generation technologies permit utility customers to generate some of their own electric power and to utilize waste heat for space heating and other applications at the building site. This combined heat and power (CHP) characteristic can provide significant energy-cost savings. However, most current US utility regulations leave CHP standby rate specification largely to ...

Although universally recognized as the source of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the choroid plexus (ChP) has been one of the most understudied tissues in neuroscience. The reasons for this are multiple and varied, including historical perceptions about passive and permissive roles for the ChP, experimental issues, and lack of clinical salience. However, recent work on the ChP and instructive signal...

The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of vermicompost and biostimulant on the growth and biomass in the coriander plant height, wet weight of plant ,dry weight of plant and biomass yield. The experiment was carried out as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture C...

BACKGROUND Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems can provide a range of benefits to users with regards to efficiency, reliability, costs and environmental impact. Furthermore, increasing the amount of electricity generated by CHP systems in the United States has been identified as having significant potential for impressive economic and environmental outcomes on a national scale. Given the bene...

Atmospheric and climatic change can alter plant biomass production and plant community composition. However, we know little about how climate change-induced alterations in biomass production affect plant species composition. To better understand how climate change will alter both individual plant species and community biomass, we manipulated atmospheric [CO2], air temperature, and precipitation...

Estimating primary productivity over time is challenging for plant ecologists. The most accurate biomass measurements require destructive sampling and weighing. This is often not possible for manipulative studies that involve repeatedmeasures over time, or for studies in protected areas. Estimates of aboveground plant biomass using allometric equations or linear regression on single plant trait...

Heating extraction steam (HEXTR) flow rate is the key parameter to determine heat load of a combined and power (CHP) plant safe operation area turbine CHP plant. Due difficulty direct measurement, soft measurement method this proposed. First, three calculation methods based on different principles are given: Flügel formula method, butterfly valve characteristics improvement balance characterist...

The combined heat and power (CHP) plant is one of the emerging technologies gas-fired units, which plays an important role in reducing environmental pollutants delivering high energy efficiency. Moreover, hydrogen storage (HES) system with extra from wind turbine via to technology allows injection stored into grid by reverse services, offsetting this way uncertainty power. Consequently, simulta...
