Progress towards the standardization of test parameters and protocols for evaluating densified fuel products
Authors: Charis Gratitude , Patel Bilal , Rashama Charles , Nyamunda Benias
Published: April 2024

Densification technologies used in managing biomass and coal fines to produce fuel briquettes or pellets are gaining rapid acceptance and application due to the widespread uptake of renewable energy. This has resulted in the mushrooming of many standard and non-standard evaluation tests for densified solid fuels in this industry. These tests are sometimes inconsistently applied especially if the available options for evaluation, underlying assumptions and principles of the test methods chosen are misunderstood. A critical review of the fuel briquettes evaluation tests to understand their relevance, strengths and limitations is necessary to advance public and research knowledge. This study investigated current methods of standardization to identify best practices, inconsistencies, trends and gaps in the application of fuel briquettes testing protocols. Procedures for evaluating combustion or thermal properties include calorific value, burn rate, open air combustion test and water boiling test; ignition time; after-glow test; specific fuel combustion or thermal efficiency were discussed. Physical and chemical property evaluations involved densities and related ratios, proximate and ultimate analyses. Equally important are mechanical parameters frequently informed by tensile/compressive strength, impact resistance, friability and water resistance. As renewable densified fuels gain more global popularity, it is critical to have a uniform standard of evaluating their quality.
Comparison of properties of brown coal and bio-mass-based substitute fuels
Authors: Hlaváček Ondřej , Beňo Zdeněk
Published: April 2024

Due to the EU climate change strategy, there are many coal-fired heating plants looking for new fuel. One of the possibilities is biomass-based fuels. This term is quite general because the final technology can be different because of properties of different types of biomasses. The sustainable solution can be the use of biomass residues. This article is about long-term monitoring of the properties of brown coal, agglomerated herbaceous biomass from agricultural residues, and wood chips from harvesting residues.
702 samples of brown coal, 715 samples of plant pellets and 607 samples of wood chips were analyzed, which were supplied do commercial heating plant between the years 2021-2023. The water and ash content, lower heating value (LHV) and higher heating value (HHV), were analyzed. The mineral composition of the fuels was determined quarterly from mixed samples.
In the case of water content, the lowest values were achieved for herbaceous pellets (11.35%), due to their previous drying. The moisture content of the wood chips fluctuated. The average was 36.34%, with a maximum deviation of up to 49.9%. The average water content in brown coal was around 28.63%. In detail, there is a seasonal influence of the weather.
In the case of ash content determination, the values for brown coal and herbaceous pellets are similar (slightly above 5%), wood chips contain less ash (2.2%). The results for the wood chip samples fluctuated again. There were samples consisting of chipped logs (0.33% ash) and samples with a large proportion of forest soil (4.37%).
The highest average HHV values were achieved for brown coal (18.98 MJ/kg), followed by herbaceous pellets (15.84 MJ/kg) and wood chips (11.02 MJ/kg). These differences may cause a decrease in steam output due to a limitation of space in the combustion chamber of the boiler after the retrofit.
In the case of the content of nonmetallic elements, a different character of the biomass is evident, consisting of a higher oxygen content (38% vs 19%) and a lower carbon content (48% vs 68%). Biomass also contains less sulfur, but the high chlorine content of 0.12% compared to 0.02% in wood chips was determined in herbaceous pellet samples. For a heating plant, this means intensive chlorine corrosion or exceeding the emission limits of HCl. The solution can be in DSI technology.
Brown coal contains more Ti, V, Li, Sr, Be, Na, Fe, and Al. The biomass contains more biogenic elements, especially Ca, K, P, and Zn, which allows the ash to be used for land application. For the combustion process, a significantly higher content of alkali has an adverse effect, causing a decrease of the melting temperature of ash, which can lead to technological problems, such as the formation of a material based on alkaline glass, which decreases heat transfer and combustion efficiency. Most often, this complication is solved by micro detonations and more frequent maintenance. The contents of Hg, Cd, and Tl in the samples were below the detection limit.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HORMONE OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED IN CAPTIVE CONDITIONS FOR ARTIFICIAL BREEDING AND SEED PRODUCTION OF MAGUR (CLARIAS BATRACHUS)
Authors: Giri Abhishek , Saxena Shriparna
Published: April 2024

This review was meant to foster a brood supply of Magur (Clarias batrachus), counterfeit rearing, and seed creation
under hostage conditions. Fifteen sets of brood C. batrachus were used in the trial. The farm raised the broodfish until
they were mature enough to spawn by feeding them artificial food for four to five months prior to the beginning of the
breeding season. In this analysis, the broodfish were actuated with WOVA-FH (1 ml.kg-1 body weight) and HCG (2272
IU.kg-1 body weight) hormones. The broods were given a single infusion of all the medicines. The review was directed at
the initiated production of magur (Clarias batrachus) at Sanjeev Agrawal Global Educational (SAGE) University, Bhopal,
from March to August 2022. Physically full-growth, sound, healthy male and female fish were collected from the brood
stock lakes for prompt reproduction. The fish were then moved to clean, microbe-free molding tanks for 7-8 hours.
During molding, a consistent glimmer of water was given by keeping the male and female isolated. The fish were then
independently gauged and infused intramuscularly with WOVA-FH and HCG hormones. Only females were infused at a
45° point in the caudal locale. Approximately 23–24 hours postinfusion, the testicles from the male fish were removed and
blended with stripping eggs for treatment. The brooding time frame for the prepared eggs was 23–30 hours for each of
the medicines. The fertilization rates were 73.22±11.32 and 84.22±6.24%, and the hatching rates were 78.53±12.12 and
86.79±6.94% for the WOVA-FH and HCG treatments respectively.

Drought is a deficiency of precipitation that extends across a season or an extended period of time, resulting in an
insufficient water supply to fulfil the needs of social actions and the environment.Drought forecasting plays an essential
aspect of water resource management, as it enables us to predict the likelihood of droughts and take appropriate
measures to mitigate their impacts.In the past 3 decades (1990-2022),various models have been developed and used to
forecast droughts. The models are characterized according to their respective mechanisms: time-series models,
regression analysis, stochastic, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models, hybrid models, and dynamic models. In this
review, we will explore some of the model approaches that have been used for drought forecasting during this time

On the Use and Construction of Wi-Fi Fingerprint Databases for Large-Scale Multi-Building and Multi-Floor Indoor Localization: A Case Study of the UJIIndoorLoc Database
Authors: Li Sihao , Tang Zhe , Kim Kyeong Soo (Joseph) , Smith Jeremy S
Published: April 2024

Large-scale multi-building and multi-floor indoor localization has
recently been the focus of intense research in indoor localization based
on Wi-Fi fingerprinting. Although significant progress has been made in
developing indoor localization algorithms, few studies are dedicated to
the critical issues of using existing and constructing new Wi-Fi
fingerprint databases, especially for large-scale multi-building and
multi-floor indoor localization. In this paper, we first identify the
challenges in using and constructing Wi-Fi fingerprint databases for
largescale multi-building and multi-floor indoor localization and then
provide our recommendations for those challenges based on a case study
of the UJIIndoorLoc database, which is the most popular,
publicly-available Wi-Fi fingerprint multi-building and multi-floor
database. Through the case study, we investigate its statistical
characteristics with a focus on the three aspects of (1) the properties
of detected wireless access points, (2) the number, distribution, and
quality of labels, and (3) the composition of the database records, and
then identify potential issues and ways to address them in using the
UJIIndoorLoc database. Based on the results from the case study, we not
only provide valuable insights on the use of existing databases but also
give important directions for the design and construction of new
databases for large-scale multi-building and multi-floor indoor
localization in the future.
Security and Reliability Performance of a Cooperative Network with Self-Sustaining Nodes
Authors: Patel Amit , Prakriya Shankar
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we analyze the secrecy performance of a two-hop
cooperative network consisting solely of energy-harvesting
self-sustaining nodes drawing energy from a multi-antenna power beacon
(PB). Performance of such networks is quite different from that with
powered nodes. We consider optimal combining of the direct and relayed
signals at the multi-antenna destination as well as the multi-antenna
eavesdropper. Since availability of channel state information at the
source is impractical in such networks, we assume fixed-rate signaling.
To implement incremental signaling, we utilize feedback bits from the
destination. Assuming practical nonlinear EH, exact and approximate
expressions are derived for the secrecy outage probability of the
selective decode-and-forward (SDF) and the incremental
decode-and-forward (IDF) relaying schemes. It is demonstrated that IDF
has much better secrecy performance than SDF just as with powered nodes.
However, unlike with powered nodes, the secrecy performance is a convex
function of the transmit power of PB. We propose a novel power back-off
scheme to improve secrecy under different network operating conditions.
The security-reliability trade-off (SRT) is analyzed to highlight the
trade-off between outage and secrecy performance with the power back-off
scheme. Simulation results validate the analytical expressions.

El marco epistémico de la esperanza y su articulación con la imaginación política: una reflexión a partir del paradigma kantiano
Authors: Sánchez Madrid Nuria
Published: April 2024

This paper aims to inspect the political potential of Kant’s grounding of hope and its content breaks down in three parts. First, I give an account of Kant’s approach to right and hope as a rule for our judgments and actions, shedding light over the shift that Kant’s notion of the Highest Good undergoes from a theological framework to a political one, which makes of individuals the main feature of action. Second, I focus on the intergenerational exercise of imagination inasmuch as it foreshadows the material and symbolic needs of the forthcoming generations, highlighting the key role it plays for addressing the political agency of hope. Moreover, I focus on the capacity of this kind of imagination to resist against the devices and (mis-)informative tendencies that lead human imagination to collapse as the headquarters of critical mental activity. Third, I address the epistemic framework that seems more adequate to continue drawing to hope as a promising tool to build up subjects conscious of the shortcomings of the world and the society they are embedded in. Finally, I display some concluding remarks about the interaction between material structures and culture of emotions as a key issue stemming from this enquiry of Kant’s conceptual legacy about hope.
