Prediction of biogas production from chemically treated co-digested agricultural waste using artificial neural network by Almomani F.

“…An ANN model consists of three layers, 15 neutrons and 260 epochs accurately predict the CMP with 99.1% of data within ±10% deviation of the mean experimental value. The developed model can be used to forecast the CMP as a function of operating temperature, the substrate composition, and chemical dose, and can be used for scaling-up and cost analysis purposes.…”

Low Platinum-Loaded Molybdenum Co-catalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline and Acidic Media by Malali, Praveen

“…The Ptd-Mo electrocatalyst presents similar catalytic activity to bulk Pt in alkaline media, while the performance is only slightly decreased in acidic media. Differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) results confirm that the Ptd-Mo electrocatalyst produced hydrogen at a rate comparable with that of a pristine Pt sample at the same potential. …”
