Characterization of spark ignition energy transfer at different phases using pressure-rise calorimetry

The paper presents novel studies on the electrical-to-thermal energy deposition to gas at different phases of a spark. The experiments utilized a 10.9 milliliter custom-built spark calorimeter. The energy transfer efficiencies across spark phases—breakdown+arc, and glow are quantified, emphasizing their importance in ensuring robust ignition. An AC capacitive ignition system was considered in the

My name is Sanne Krogh Groth – would you like to see my playlist?

»Music to me is… my work. I've landed in the best job in the world, where a core task is to discover new music, to learn its internal logic and aesthetics, who created it, and why. I'm a music researcher and have just returned from the island of Java in Indonesia with my research partner and husband Nils, where we've been visiting experimental musicians in Yogyakarta – artists we've now followed f

Zero waste for all? : Sustainable practices in a small-scale zero waste community from a universal design perspective

Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.

Love Unto Death : The Multispecies Aesthetics of Birdsong and Bird Extinction in Indonesia

In villages and cities across the Indonesian island of Java, hundreds of songbird competitions are held every week. In these competitions, members of one species of songbird compete each other, where the aesthetic qualities the song, including its rhythm, melody, timbre, and volume, are evaluated by a team of referees. First prizes are large cash awards and sometimes cars. Birdsong that incorporat

Egyptens pyramider

Boken är en översiktlig syntes av det egyptiska pyramidbyggandet, från de första mastaborna till pyramidkonstruktionerna i Nubien.

Variations in Ecosystem-Scale Methane Fluxes Across a Boreal Mire Complex Assessed by a Network of Flux Towers

High latitude mires are key ecosystems in the context of climate change since they store large amounts of carbon while constituting an important natural source of methane (CH4). However, while a growing number of studies have investigated methane fluxes (FCH4) at the plot- (~1 m2) and ecosystem-scale (~0.1–0.5 km2) across the boreal biome, variations of FCH4 magnitudes and drivers at the mesoscale

Concentration of Potato Fruit Juice From the Starch Industry Using Nanofiltration Membranes as Pretreatment Process Upstream an Evaporator for Energy Savings

In a potato starch factory, potato proteins can also be obtained alongside the main product starch. After the denatured proteins have been withdrawn, the remaining potato fruit juice (PFJ) can be further concentrated through evaporation and used as a fertilizer. However, evaporators are highly energy-intensive. Instead, membrane filtration presents a more energy-efficient alternative for this proc

In Situ X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy to Study the Dehydrogenation and Decomposition Mechanisms of an Iridium Pincer Catalyst Exposed to Gaseous Isopropanol

On-site hydrogen gas production from hydrogen-rich liquids offers a clean alternative to fossil fuels for combustion that is readily implemented in existing energy infrastructure. A heterogenized (POCOP)-Ir pincer catalyst can be operated at higher temperatures for higher turnover frequency, but the reaction pathway of the reported complex has not been well understood. Here, we report intermediary
