Butanol Production by Fermentation of Fruit Residues

The feedstock of the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation is a key issue for the economic success of the biotechnological route to produce biobutanol.Residues from agro-alimentary industries are particularly interesting as renewable substrates for the ABE fermentation because they are abundant and un-competitive with food sources.The residues

Exploiting Elastically Supported Masses in Cantilever for Resonance Frequencies Down-Shifted Vibration Energy Harvester

This paper presents a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) with resonance frequencies shifted down by elastically supported masses.The added elastic supporters can diminish the equivalent stiffness of the whole structure, leading to an evident decline PURGE PARASITIS in the resonance frequency of the cantilever body.Meantime, a new reson
