Abstract Background A modified laboratory-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was used to obtain methane by treating hydrous ethanol vinasse.Vinasses or stillage are waste materials with high organic loads, and a complex composition resulting from the process of alcohol distillation.They must initially be treated with anaerobic pro
The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) aims to improve water quantity, timing, distribution, and quality of the Greater Everglades System (Figure Stoneware Plate 1) over the next 35 years (SFERTF 1998).Not only is it the most expensive (8 billion dollars, 1999) and ambitious ecological restoration ever undertaken, but it involves mult
This study was performed to evaluate the input-otput energy for oil palm production and to identify the possibility to save energy consumption for activities related to oil palm production.Observation was conducted at PTPN VII Farm Unit of Rejosari, South Lampung.The energy inputs included human power, fuel and electricity as well as indirect energ
INTRODUCTION: Substance abuse is an important public health issue affecting West Africa; however, there is currently a dearth of literature on the actions needed to address it.The ND Filters aim of this study was to assess the risks and protective factors of substance abuse in Ghana, West Africa, using the photovoice method.METHODS: this study recr
In this paper, a thermoelasticity solution for steady state response of thick cylinders which are subjected to pressure and external heat flux in inner surface is presented.Displacement field obeys the kinematics of the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT).It is assumed that the temperature varies both along the length and the thickness.The
