Abstract Biomass-based products (bioproducts) have been introduced as a means to address food-energy-water nexus challenges. However, the existing approaches have not been integrated to convert biomass into market-competitive bioproducts (e.g., biochar and bio-oil). Pretreatment and conversion processes represent the most substantial portion of the total bioproduct cost. This study proposes a portable conversion process for high-quality biochar and bio-oil production, using mixed reactors and advanced cyber-physical infrastructures to promote cross-cutting technological and commercialization opportunities. The proposed portable process converts biomass to bioproducts near the collection sites, which can address collection, staging, and logistics challenges. The fundamental novelty of this study lies in utilizing cyber-physical technologies for advancing pre-/post-conversion processes and crossing the boundaries to meet the market needs. A case study for biochar production from various biomass feedstocks is used to demonstrate and verify the application of the conversion process and the cyber-based advances. The results indicate that the integrated cyber-physical conversion pathway can increase process yield and quality. It is also found that biomass properties and conversion process configurations play a crucial role in determining the process yield and biochar quality in terms of the physical-chemical structure.

Glutinous rice starch (GRS) is produced from glutinous rice which is commonly cultivated in the Northeast of Thailand. GRS contains two types of glucose polymers which are amylose and amylopectin. Glutinous rice starch nanofibers (GNF) can be produced by an electrospinning technique. This is not a complicated method but needs a high voltage power supply. The aim of this study was to understand the production of GNF and physical-chemical properties of GNF. The morphology of GNF was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The characteristics of GNF are high porosity, flake multi-layers and a high swelling power. The Electrospinning technique did not change the chemical structure of GRS based on an FT-IR evaluation. This research revealed the basic characteristics of electrospun glutinous starch for use in various applications in the future.

Heating films were prepared by using poly(methyl methacrylate) and polybutadiene composites containing graphite. The heating film was prepared by casting the as-made polymer composite on PET film. Copper electrodes were attached to both ends of the as-prepared film, and the heating characteristics of the film was analyzed while applying DC voltage. The electrical conductivity and the heating temperature of the heating films depended on the size, the structure, the content and the dispersion characteristics of the graphite in the composite. The electrical resistance of the heating film was controlled to adjust the heating temperature of the film. The relationship between the physical/chemical structure and the heating characteristics of the composite film was studied by measuring the heating temperature as functions of film thickness and resistance by using an infrared thermal imaging camera. The lower the film resistance, the higher the heating temperature of the film. The surface temperature was uniform throughout the film.

A simple model of communication, the problems it poses and the conclusions at which it arrives are proposed. The following items are discussed. 1. The model: What interacts during communication are wrapped up objects, packages; packages can communicate only through signals; agents can respond only to their own interpretation of the signal that reaches them, i.e. to the meaning they assign to it. 2. Thus, some problems of communication, engendered by this model are: What is inside the partner package? Is communication just a discourse between the partners, or is it a real interac-tion, after all? 3. Finally, some implications of the model: Through communication, reality is inserted into semiotic (linguistic) settings; hence, reality turns into a proposition (sentence), rather than a physical-chemical structure; ‘states of affairs’ turn into statements; situations are stated, commu-nicated, problematised and resolved; reality, likewise the proposition, acquires meaning.

There are numeric numbers that define chemical descriptors that represent the entire structure of a graph, which contain a basic chemical structure. Of these, the main factors of topological indices are such that they are related to different physical chemical properties of primary chemical compounds. The biological activity of chemical compounds can be constructed by the help of topological indices. In theoretical chemistry, numerous chemical indices have been invented, such as the Zagreb index, the Randić index, the Wiener index, and many more. Hex-derived networks have an assortment of valuable applications in drug store, hardware, and systems administration. In this analysis, we compute the Forgotten index and Balaban index, and reclassified the Zagreb indices, A B C 4 index, and G A 5 index for the third type of hex-derived networks theoretically.
