Ethanol obtained from biomass has potential to become an important sustainable transportation fuel in the near future. Renewable energy sources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, are environmentally friendly because they emit less pollution without contributing net carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Among kinds of biomass, lignocellulosic biomass is a very useful feedstock to economically produce...

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, a vertex labeling $f : V(G)rightarrow mathbb{Z}_2$ induces an edge labeling $ f^{+} : E(G)rightarrow mathbb{Z}_2$ defined by $f^{+}(xy) = f(x) + f(y)$, for each edge $ xyin E(G)$.  For each $i in mathbb{Z}_2$, let $ v_{f}(i)=|{u in V(G) : f(u) = i}|$ and $e_{f^+}(i)=|{xyin E(G) : f^{+}(xy) = i}|$. A vertex labeling $f$ of a graph $G...

The quality of pressure distribution over the atmosphere of the sea level and geopotential altitude at different atmosphere layers affect on many climate and meteorology phenomena of the earth surface. One of the important meteorology phenomenon is the occurrence of frost phenomenon especially late spring frost. In this surrey, occurring late spring frost days and minimum temperature during the...

While existing literature on third-sector support for ageing migrants shows that social clubs can be a vital source of support, what remains unclear is how these positive outcomes are attained an interactional level. Drawing fieldwork conducted over the course one year in meeting place older Russian-speaking capital region Finland, this paper adopts processual approach to examine sense groupnes...

a green low-cost and reproducible yeast mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is reported. the synthesis is performed at room temperature. x-ray and transmission electron microscopy analyses are performed to ascertain the formation of ag nanoparticles. nanoparticles almost spherical in shape having a size of 6-20 nm are found.

today, organizations continuously try to find the ways to gain loyal customers because of their advantages. customer to customer interactions has attracted more attention among marketers in which customer-to-customer interactions has been known as one of the most important methods of creating loyal customers. the present paper seeks to propose a service model developed in traveling and tourism ...

In this paper, plate-like NiO nanoparticles were prepared by one-pot solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel (II) Schiff base complex as new precursor. First, the nickel (II) Schiff base precursor was prepared by solid-state grinding using nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate, Ni(NO3)2∙6H2O, and the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis-(salicylidene) benzene-1,4-diamine) for 30 min without using any solv...
