Fiber composition influences degradation properties. by Cameron Ball (116922)

“…(<b>c</b>) Fiber diameters, displayed as geometric mean with 95% confidence interval, and decrease significantly over three days of degradation in VFS (p<0.0001 for 30∶70 and 70∶30 PLLA/PEO fibers). 30∶70 PLLA/PEO (blue) and 70∶30 PLLA/PEO (red) for (<b>b</b>) and (<b>c</b>).…”

Enhancing the production of biogas through anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural waste and chemical pre-treatments by Almomani F.

“…The results revealed that the highest cumulative methane production (CMP) of 297.99 NL/kgVS can be generated by co-digestion of ASWs and CD at a ratio of 60:40. Further improvement was achieved via alkalinity treatment with 1.0 g of NaHCO3/gVS leading to decrease in lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose contents of feedstock by 3.5%, 10.5% and 15.9%, respectively, converting them to soluble fractions and improving the CMP by 11.2–29.7% based on substrate quality. …”

Thermoelastic solutions for thermal distributions moving over thin slim rod under memory-dependent three-phase lag magneto-thermoelasticity by Sudip Mondal (4882417)

“…It is found from the distributions that the temperature, thermally induced displacement and stress of the rod are found to decrease at large source speed. For the better understanding of the effect of moving heat source on all the distributions, three animations are added.…”

<b>Trade risks to energy security in net-zero emissions energy scenarios</b> by Jing Cheng (20770994)

“…Here, we find that overall trade risks decrease in most countries (70%) in net-zero scenarios due to reduced reliance on imported fossil fuels, but trade risks to either electricity or transportation systems increase in a majority (82%) of countries that become more dependent on imported materials. …”

Life Cycle Assessment of Bitcoin Mining by Susanne Köhler (7894589)

“…This study estimates the environmental impact of mining Bitcoin, the most well-known blockchain-based cryptocurrency, and contributes to the discussion on the technology’s supposedly large energy consumption and carbon footprint. The lack of a robust methodological framework and of accurate data on key factors determining Bitcoin’s impact have so far been the main obstacles in such an assessment. …”

Efficient Adaptive MCMC Through Precision Estimation by Jonas Wallin (5122001)

“…We propose two algorithms to improve convergence and decrease computational cost of adaptive MCMC methods in cases when the precision (inverse covariance) matrix of the target density can be well-approximated by a sparse matrix. …”

Mitochondrial fusion-fission model. by Zhi Yang Tam (469773)

“…In this case, the mixing time <i>τ</i> is defined as the time for the scaled COV of R_M^mito to reach −63.2%. A faster decrease in the mean COV of R_M^mito indicates a faster mixing and hence is indicated by a smaller mixing time constant <i>τ</i>. …”
