Novel inoculants for an environmentally-friendly crop production

The high input of agrochemicals into soils is a major agricultural technique for enhancement of plant crop production, but it is also an environmental hazard. Concern over health hazards related to agrochemicals, especially on radioactively polluted territories, as well as economic problems, have promoted fundamental research to search for new agrobiotechnologies. Nonsymbiotic plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are often used as inoculants; however, they are not as effective as endophytic bacteria. These bacteria have the advantage of living within the plant tissue, protecting the plant from superinfection by soil bacteria, and recolonizing the plant surface after some stress situations in the soil. Although the use of beneficial microorganisms is not a new idea, it is an idea that is not heavily utilized. Application of inoculants designed on the base of competitive endophytic bacteria may be a full or partial alternative to agrochemicals, and can diminish the level of penetration and accumulation of heavy metals and radionuclides inside plants. This study evaluates the input of the association of the bacteria, isolated from the plant interior, in the crop of corn (Zea mays) and develops inoculants on their base. Nitrogen-fixing Klebsiella oxytoca VN13 along with Xanthomonas maltophilia VN12 were found to be useful bacteria, the former capable of excreting auxins and antimicrobial substances, the latter promoting assimilation of soil phosphorous by the plants. As the association of the two bacteria has been chosen as an effective endophytic system for the inoculant development, the two are mixed to form an inoculant ‘Duet’ which is directly inoculated into seeds. Corn inoculated with this ‘Duet’ produced greater yields, and possessed a greater percentage of protein. In addition, experiments performed in Chernobyl, showed that the ‘Duet’ could protect the plant from radionuclides penetration. It is suggested that a novel inoculant, ‘Kleps’, be applied, as the formulation is simple, it is inexpensive, it can be produced on a large scale, and it can be stored for a long period of time in a relatively small volume. It is clear that simple formulations of novel inoculants can be designed on the base of the competitive endophytic bacteria for an environmentally friendly crop production on poor and polluted territories as an alternative to the use of agrochemicals.

A Novel Solar Thermal Cycle with Chemical Looping Combustion

In this paper, we have proposed a thermal cycle with the integration of chemical-looping combustion and solar thermal energy with the temperature of about 500-600°C. Chemical-looping combustion may be carried out in two successive reactions between a reduction of hydrocarbon fuel with metal oxides and a reduced metal with oxygen in the air. This loop of chemical reactions is substituted for conventional combustion of fuel. Methane as a fuel and nickel oxides as an oxygen carrier were employed in this cycle. Collected high-temperature solar thermal energy is provided for the endothermic reduction reaction. The feature of the proposed cycle is investigated through Energy-Utilization Diagram methodology. As a result, at the turbine inlet temperature of 1200°C, the exergy efficiency of the proposed cycle would be expected to be about 4 percentage points higher than that of a conventional gas turbine combined cycle. Compared to the previous study of chemical-looping combustion energy systems, the proposed cycle with the integration of green energy and traditional hydrocarbon fuels will offer the possibility of both greenhouse gas mitigation, with green energy, and a new approach to the efficient use of solar energy.

Novel electricity-saving concept using a radio technique for indoor lighting

This study proposes a novel concept for designing a radio switch that can match workplace characteristics and personal needs by individually controlling the lighting group to save electricity. We use a microcontroller that can achieve the function of timing, turned-on and turn-off by setting the internal program to control the radio switch for convenient use, and electricity saving. As compared with the traditional mechanical switch, the radio switch reduced the electricity consumption by 38.64 kwh/week (86.25% of ideal condition or 1194.62% of practical condition), and the annual CO₂ emission can be reduced by 1032.2 kg/year. Additionally, the cost of the radio switch to replace the traditional mechanical switch can be paid back in 1.72 years.     

Novel passive co-treatment of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater

A laboratory-scale, four-stage continuous-flow reactor system was constructed to test the viability of high-strength acid mine drainage (AMD) and municipal wastewater (MWW) passive co-treatment. Synthetic AMD of pH 2.6 and acidity of 1870 mg L(-1) as CaCO3 equivalent containing a mean 46, 0.25, 2.0, 290, 55, 1.2, and 390 mg L(-1) of Al, As, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn, respectively, was added at a 1:2 ratio with raw MWW from the City of Norman, OK, to the system which had a total residence time of 6.6 d. During the 135-d experiment, dissolved Al, As, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn concentrations were consistently decreased by 99.8, 87.8, 97.7, 99.8, 13.9, 87.9, and 73.4%, respectively, pH increased to 6.79, and net acidic influent was converted to net alkaline effluent. At a wasting rate of 0.69% of total influent flow, the system produced sludge with total Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, and Zn concentrations at least an order of magnitude greater than the influent mix, which presents a metal reclamation opportunity. Results indicate that AMD and MWW passive co-treatment is a viable approach to use wastes as resources to improve water quality with minimal use of fossil fuels and refined materials.     

Novel resource saving interventions: the case of modelling and storytelling

Climate change communication to the Public is in general presented in a negative fashion and often depicts the resultant costs and impacts as distant. Its substantial gloom together with the less immediate consequences significantly weaken responses. Narratives and stories are potent arbiters of meaningful communication and are an important vehicle for communication in our information-rich lives. Importantly, they reduce jargon, gather and translate information, provide insight, reframe evidence and engage audiences. It has been argued by many observers that stories are potentially useful in driving change; presenting a way to value what is gone, expressing emotions, and helping us assert our determination to salvage something and work towards the future. This paper details the methods utilised by the authors to generate stories and case studies in a community in Ireland over a 4-year research period. The aim of the work was to identify and assess the salience and potency of storytelling – as part of a “co-creation” process – with regard to galvanising local action in the generation of sustainable models of lifestyle practice for residents. In this paper, co-creation includes the planning phase of co-design and the implementation phase of co-production. The demonstration of these sustainable lifestyle practices was a strong driver for the sustainable transition of this community supporting the reduction of its ecological footprint by 28% over 4 years, evidence of which is highlighted in this paper.

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a Novel Hybrid Heat-Pipe Solar Collector

Abstract

This article describes a novel flat plate heat-pipe solar collector, namely, the hybrid heat-pipe solar collector. An analytical model has been developed to calculate the collector efficiency as well as simulate the heat transfer processes occurring in the collector. The effects of heat pipes/absorber, top cover, flue gas channel geometry, and flue gas temperature and flow rate, on the collector efficiency were investigated based on three modes of operation, i.e., solar only operation, solar/exhaust gas combined, and solar, exhaust gas and boiler combined. Experimental testing of the collector was also carried out for each of these modes of operation under real climatic conditions. The results were used to estimate the efficiency of the collector and determine the relation between the efficiency and general external parameter. The modeling and experimental results were compared and a correlation factor was used to modify the theoretical predictions. It was found that the efficiency of the collector was increased by about 20–30% compared to a conventional flat-plate heat pipe solar collector.

Novel lithium-based sorbents from fly ashes for CO2 capture at high temperatures

In this work several Li₄SiO₄-based sorbents from fly ashes for CO₂ capture at high temperatures have been developed. Three fly ash samples were collected and subjected to calcination at 950 °C in the presence of Li₂CO₃. Both pure Li₄SiO₄ and fly ash-based sorbents were characterised and tested for CO₂ sorption at different temperatures between 400 and 650 °C and adding different amounts of K₂CO₃ (0–40 mol%). To examine the sorbents performance, multiple CO₂ sorption/desorption cycles were carried out. The temperature and the presence of K₂CO₃ strongly affect the CO₂ sorption capacity for the sorbents prepared from fly ashes. When the sorption temperature increases by up to 600 °C both the CO₂ sorption capacity and the sorption rate increase significantly. Moreover when the amount of K₂CO₃ increases, the CO₂ sorption capacity also increases. At optimal experimental conditions (600 °C and 40 mol% K₂CO₃), the maximum CO₂ sorption capacity for the sorbent derived from fly ash was 107 mg CO₂/g sorbent. The Li₄SiO₄-based sorbents can maintain its original capacity during 10 cycle processes and reach the plateau of maximum capture capacity in less than 15 min, while pure Li₄SiO₄ presents a continual upward tendency for the 15 min of the capture step and attains no equilibrium capacity.     

A Framework for the Ethical Analysis of Novel Foods: The Ethical Matrix

The paper addresses the issue of how indemocratic societies a procedure might be formulatedto facilitate ethical judgements on modernbiotechnologies used in food production. A frameworkfor rational ethical analysis, the Ethical Matrix, isproposed. The Matrix adapts the principles describedby Beauchamp and Childress for application to medicalissues, to interest groups (e.g., producers,consumers, and the biotic environment) affected bythese technologies. The use of the Matrix isillustrated by applying it to an example of a ``novelfood,' viz., a form of genetically modified maize.     

Novel Foods and Consumer Rights: Concerning Food Policy in a Liberal State

In the public debate concerning novel foods, someconsumer groups claim a consumer right to have accessto certain kinds of food in the market. To discusssuch statements, the paper identifies the reasons thatmay justify liberal states to regulate food. Althoughit defends certain paternalistic activities, itfavours an autonomy-centred food policy. Autonomy andconsumer sovereignty require that certain conditionsare fulfilled. It may be argued that one suchcondition is that the consumer should have choices.Against this position, the paper defends the view thatliberty rights to choose are limited to areas whichare of great importance for personal identity and thegood life. Local decisions in the area of foodconsumption do not have such importance, though globalones may have it. But even if this were true,government activity to protect such liberties shouldbe limited to the guarantee of formal conditions forthe good life of persons. It is not a legitimate taskof the government to safeguard specific conceptions ofthe good life.
