An innovative biogas upgrading process consists in the utilization of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) which biocathode performs bioelectromethanogenesis reaction reducing CO2 into CH4 while an additional removal mechanism sorption as HCO3−, due to alkalinity generation catholyte. Here, two chamber 12-liter tubular MEC has been developed upgrade by using bioelectrochemical organic matter oxi...

One of the subjects in solar water heater design is considering distribution of hot water consumption during the day. For example, each of the household, commercial, office, school, and industrial consumptions have a particular distribution of hot water consumption named pattern in this article. In solar computation principles, the effect of longitude, latitude, and altitude on collector angle ...

The energy consumption of a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system must be reduced to save operational costs. Determining set active MEC servers (MECSs) that can minimize the while satisfying service delay requirements tasks is an NP-complete problem. To solve this problem, we take bio-inspired approach. We note sleep control problem MECS differentiates mode among neighboring MECSs. Therefore...

mechanical properties of grain are influenced by various factors including soil nutrients and grain moisture content at harvest time. in order to reduce mechanical losses, the design of different processing operations should be performed based on the knowledge of factors influencing the mechanical properties. the effects of urea fertilization methods and grain moisture content at harvest time o...

Mobile cloud computing is the thrust research area in the field of recent communication paradigm. Eminent energy conservation strategies are proposed by various researchers in the field of mobile cloud computing. Optimizing energy consumption also plays an important role in mobile cloud computing. This paper reviews the existing research contributions on minimizing energy consumption in mobile ...

Energy harvesting aided mobile edge computing (MEC) has gained much attention for its widespread application in the computation-intensive, latency-sensitive and energy-hungry scenario. Computation offloading, which leverages powerful MEC servers (MEC-ss) to augment capability of less devices (MDs), is intrinsically a distributed over heterogeneous networks. In this article, computation offloadi...

This paper applies alternative time series techniques such as General to Specific (GETS) and Johansen Maximum Likelihood (JML) to estimate the long run income and price elasticities of demand for energy for Fiji. We also test for the causal relationship between energy consumption, GDP and energy prices using the Granger causality tests. Our results imply that there is a uni-directional causalit...
