Applicability of hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) bark extract as a precursor of rigid carbon foam and activated carbon
2023
Hybrid aspens have long attracted scientific interest, but the research on their use as feedstocks for chemical applications are still very limited. The bark biomass of the poplar species contains many valuable extractives that can be utilized as value-added products. This paper examines the applicability of hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) bark extract as a precursor of rigid carbon foam and activated carbon. To explore this, the study considers 1) the basic chemical composition of the bark in terms of added value potential, 2) the basic chemical composition of the bark extract and the effect of its pretreatment on the extract composition, 3) the production of rigi…
Critical forms in Sicilian populations of annual Lysimachia L. (Primulaceae)
2018
Based on recent literature, in the Primrose family the genus Lysimachia L. absorbed Anagallis L. (1). As a result, new name combinations have been introduced for this genus, thus involving the increase of specific and intraspecific taxa (for Italian flora see 2 and 3). A further consequence, focused in this contribution, concerns the binomial combination Lysimachia arvensis (L.) U.Manns & Anderb., which has different synonyms and includes several specific and intraspecific taxa. As far as the taxonomic history of the annual taxa of Anagallis is concerned, different authors preferred to include some of them in A. arvensis and in A. foemina at the level of variety (4) or subspecies (2), w…
Kansalaisyhteiskunnan tila ja tulevaisuus 2020-luvun Suomessa
2020
Hankkeen tavoitteena oli selvittää toimintaympäristön muutosten vaikutuksia kansalaistoimintaan ja tehdä suosituksia siitä, miten kansalaisyhteiskuntaa voidaan tukea. Yhdistystoiminnan asema Suomessa on säilynyt vahvana, mutta yksityisen ja julkisen sektorin toimintalogiikat ovat alkaneet yhä enemmän ohjata kansalaistoimijoita. Keskitetty johtaminen ja “asiakasajattelu” ovat lisääntyneet järjestöissä ja ne ovat ammattimaistuneet ja keskittyneet. Vapaaehtoistyöhön ja jäsenmaksuihin pohjaavasta kansalaisyhteiskunnasta on siirrytty rahoituksen osalta kohti mallia, jossa valtio rahoittaa järjestöjä strategisista lähtökohdistaan projektiluontoisesti. Vaarana on, että kansalaisyhteiskunnan kyky t…
Colonization of adrenal glands and ovaries of mice by variants of HSV 1 and 2
1991
The herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected mouse model was used to correlate histopathological lesions in adrenal glands and ovaries with the localisation of viral nucleic acids and viral antigens, employing in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. In the adrenals, the lesions were mainly restricted to the zona fasciculata and the zona reticularis, sometimes extending to the medulla. In the ovaries, lesions were detected in follicles and in the stroma. During the course of infection, HSV nucleic acids could be detected earlier than HSV proteins. Next to the center of necrotic foci mainly HSV proteins were detected, whereas peripheral cells were found to contain viral nucleic acids. In s…
Cost Efficiency of Hybrid Cloud Storage : Shortening Acquisition Cycle to Mitigate Volume Variation
2015
Hybrid cloud storage infrastructure, which combines cost-effective but inflexible private resources and flexible but premium-priced public cloud storage, allows organizations to operate cost-efficiently under demand volume uncertainty. The extant literature, however, offers a limited analytical insight into the effect that the variation of demand has on the cost-efficient mix of internal and external resources. This paper considers the storage capacity acquisition cycle, i.e. the interval at which the organization re-assesses and acquires additional resources, as a parameter shaping the optimal mix of resources. It introduces a model capturing the compound effect of the acquisition cycle an…
Contribution to thermal behaviour study of lithium-ion battery for electric and hybrid electric vehicle
2014
The main objectives of this study are to provide the essential information on the thermal behaviour of the battery cells for automotive purpose especially for EVs and HEVs through experimental work in order to develop an effective 3D electro-thermal model for lithium ion battery cells and pack. The experimental study is focusing on the distribution of temperature at various points of the battery cell surface, impact of different constant discharge rates, and also the importance of cooling system on the battery temperature behaviour. This thesis highlights the battery cell temperature under abuse discharge condition and the impact of stacking the battery cells inside the battery pack. Impact…
