The aim of this study is to prepare a solid fuel from the most abundant biomass of Morocco that can be used by the local population, and in particular by the rural ones, instead of the wood of forest, which is less available and its exploitation is negative for the environment. Esparto is the most available biomass, with a production of 560000 tons annually of dry matter approximately. However,...

The study aimed to evaluate nutraceutical potential of three commercially significant edible jellyfish species (Acromitus hardenbergi, Rhopilema hispidum and Rhopilema esculentum). The bell and oral arms of these jellyfishes were analyzed for their proximate composition, calorific value, collagen content, amino acid profile, chemical score and elemental constituent. In general, all jellyfish po...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that patients suffering from depression are more likely to adversely change their eating habits (eg. through increases in appetite, comfort eating and compulsive eating), which may result in an abnormal nutritional status. OBJECTIVES To evaluate selected dietary habits, such as the number and type of meals consumed during a normal day and comparing dieta...

Thermal radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer in many combustion systems, and typical flameless furnaces, it can represent up to 80% total transfer. Accurate modeling radiative is, thus, crucial design these large-scale systems. impacts thermochemistry, thereby energy efficiency temperature sensitive species prediction, such as NO x soot. The requirement accurately describe spectral d...

Upgrading the coal is a process that increases calorific value of low-rank through decreasing moisture content coal. This method usually uses mixed heavy oil to close opened pores after upgrading. The additives have molecule structure like oil. aim this study determine effect on and upgrading process. Coal in applies several variations i.e., particle size mass with an additive which mixture vac...

With Increasing Energy Demand in the World and to keep Environment Friendly, biogas technology has attained a notable position for the future scope. This paper tells about a comprehension review on anaerobic digestion of cow dung and food waste with Water hyacinths to enhance biogas productions. Water hyacinths are treated as waste in rivers, ponds, but they have high potential in biogas produc...

Background Minute ventilation (MV) and calorific requirement (CR) are both functions of metabolic demand. The Holliday-Segar formula is a weight-based tool for predicting CR. This study was performed to derive an equation, based on the Holliday-Segar formula, for calculating resting MV from body-weight (BW), which is applicable for all age groups. Methods MV for BW (obtained from Radford norm...
