This invention is a cost-effective novel technology for producing alternative diesel fuel with similar properties as conventional diesel fuel using whole oilseed plants (i.e. seed and stalks) as feedstocks. This technology uses fractional catalytic pyrolysis of whole oilseed plants such as sunflower, soybean, rapeseed, pennycress seed coupled with alcoholysis ...

Brucellosis, an infectious disease of animals and humans, is caused by some bacteria of genus Brucella. In humans, brucellosis is primarily a zoonotic disease. Humans acquire the infection by consuming the infected dairy and meat products or by coming in contact with infected animal tissues and secretions. Three Brucella species(B. ...

This novel method for producing porous materials can be used with almost any metal or ceramic powder system. No volatile or organic compounds are produced at any point during fabrication. The technique allows for precise control over many different pore characteristics. These include pore size, pore shape ...

Primary and secondary batteries suffer from low energy storage densities while fuel cells have much higher densities. Enzymatic fuel cells are a set of fuel cells that can utilize enzymes to convert chemical energy stored in chemical compounds to electricity. Six-carbon sugars (e.g., glucose, fructose, mannose) and their ...

While deploying a DSA overlay can increase spectral capacity, it also brings significant challenges. The problem of identifying incumbent spectrum users remains an issue of valid concern, resulting in overly strict Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations for secondary use. In addition to avoiding interfering with primary users, the ...
