Open AccessAssessment of agricultural crops and natural vegetation in Scotland for energy production by anaerobic digestion and hydrothermal liquefaction
The current paper investigates the use of natural vegetation and agricultural crops commonly found in Scotland as a source of bioenergy. Such biomass is shown to have a high moisture content upon harvest (∼80%...

Monocrystalline CdTe solar cells with open-circuit voltage over 1 V and efficiency of 17%
The open-circuit voltages of mature single-junction photovoltaic devices are lower than the bandgap energy of the absorber, typically by a gap of 400 mV. For CdTe, which has a bandgap of 1.5 eV, the gap is lar...

Using design of experiments to optimize derivatization with methyl chloroformate for quantitative analysis of the aqueous phase from hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass
Hydrothermal liquefaction is a promising technique for the production of bio-oil. The process produces an oil phase, a gas phase, a solid residue, and an aqueous phase. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spe...

Immunological reactions against PMMA lens material?
We investigated the kind of reactions that occur after injection of a PMMA lens powder into the back skin of rabbit. The lens powder was suspended in NaCl and incomplete Freund's adjuvant to reinforce the immu...
