Adsorption capacity of the biochar obtained from Pinus patula wood micro-gasification for the treatment of polluted water containing malachite green dye
(Amsterdam: Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, the adsorption capacity of the biochar obtained from Pinus patula biomass micro-gasification
was studied using malachite green (MG) as the probe pollutant. For this purpose, the biomass type (wood
pellets ...
Application of a central composite face-centered design in the optimization of an Archimedean hydrokinetic turbine
(2021)
Currently, in the literature, there are no general guidelines for the optimal hydraulic design of Archimedean screw turbines (AST) used in hydrokinetic applications. Therefore, this study is aiming at selecting the most ...
Numerical and experimental study of hydrofoil-flap arrangements for hydrokinetic turbine applications
(Amsterdam: Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, the efficiency of two horizontal-axis hydrokinetic turbines, whose blades were designed
with and without multi-element hydrofoil cross-sections, has been numerical and experimentally inves-
tigated for tip ...
Experimental analysis on the performance of a pico-hydro Turgo turbine
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Turgo turbine is a relatively cheap, reliable and sustainable type of impulse turbine used in hydro-
electric plants, which is generally suited for medium and high head applications. Nowadays, the devel-
opment and ...
Effect of main solid biomass commodities of patula pine on biochar properties produced under gasification conditions
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
Wood pellets (WP) and chips (WCH) are the most frequently sold products worldwide to produce bioenergy under thermochemical processes. The effects of the bulk density of patula pine (Pinus patula) WP (555.97 kg/m3) and WCH ...
Design optimization of an Archimedes screw turbine for hydrokinetic applications using the response surface methodology
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
In this study, the performance of an Archimedes screw turbine (AST), in terms of the power coefficient (CP), was evaluated. The design parameters, including the inner and the outer diameter (Di and Do, respectively), the ...
Flowering, floral visitors and climatic drivers of reproductive phenology of two endangered magnolias from neotropical Andean forests
(Wiley, 2021)
Depressed fruit and seed production and scant seedling recruitment appear to be imperiling natural populations of Colombian Magnolia species. From February 2015 to April 2017, we recorded data on flowering, pollen limitation, ...
Plastid phylogenomics resolves ambiguous relationships within the orchid family and provides a solid timeframe for biogeography and macroevolution
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)
Recent phylogenomic analyses based on the maternally inherited plastid organelle have enlightened
evolutionary relationships between the subfamilies of Orchidaceae and most of the tribes. However,
uncertainty remains ...
Genomic and transcriptomic resources for candidate gene discovery in the Ranunculids
(Botanical Society of America, 2021)
Premise
Multiple transitions from insect to wind pollination are associated with polyploidy and unisexual flowers in Thalictrum (Ranunculaceae), yet the underlying genetics remains unknown. We generated a draft genome of ...
