(THIS IS THE MIRROR OF A GRANT PROPOSAL). We are working on creating a storage network module on substrate compatible w/ the BitBadges blockchain. This will allow for substrate to interact in a meaningful way with the BitBadges ecosystem, which follows an experimental PoCP or Proof of Computation proof.Other projects like Crust or Subspace are within the same realm of trying to create some form of storage network. The difference is how BitBadges goes about accomplishing this and what a substrate module as an integration will provide. BitBadges as a whole is working on offline-centric networks and integrating variations of distributing sharding algorithms. Their data is transmitted w/ CouchDB being an integral part of its core for node syncronization. BitBadges is also integrating w/ various third party networks viewed as either pegs or applications.We believe that the substrate ecosystem can provide another integration w/ our network and we might even be able to create something similar to what Crust is doing on their mainnet, but w/ BitBadges as the storage method or a mirrored peg for the data. Our team, which is currently just two people, are passionate and have years of blockchain development experience under our belts. We think Substrate can work great as one of our third party integrations or pegged chains.

Chapter 13 concerns the building blocks of formulas to measure expectation damages: replacement cost, market price, resale price, diminished value, and lost profits. Replacement-cost damages are based on the difference between the contract price and the actual or imputed cost of a replacement transaction. Resale-price damages are based on the difference between the contract price payable by a breaching buyer and the price the seller received on resale to a third party. Diminished-value damages are based on the difference between the value of the performance that a breaching seller rendered and the value of the performance that she promised to render. Lost-profit damages are based on the difference between the price a breaching buyer agreed to pay and the seller’s variable costs.

Storage lesions (SLs) occur when the red blood cell quality is altered during the preservation of blood units. Pre-storage leukoreduction would limit the number of SLs. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a leukoreduction filter for human use and the effect of pre-storage leukoreduction on some ematobiochemical parameters in stored canine whole blood. Seven canine blood units were tested. Each one was divided into two units—one leukoreduced (LRWB) and one non-leukoreduced (nLRWB). On each unit, we determined the complete blood count (CBC), lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH), electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl−), morphological index (MI) and hemolysis, on storage days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42. Leukoreduction allowed a 98.30% recovery of the RBC count, retaining 99.69% and 94.91% of WBCs and PLTs, respectively. We detected a significant increase of LDH and MI with strongly higher values in nLRWB compared to LRWB. A progressive increase in electrolytes and LDH concentrations was observed as indices of stored hemolysis. LDH showed significantly lower values in LRWB units compared to nLRWB, suggesting its release from leukocytes. In the majority of units, hemolysis reached 1% on the 42nd day of storage. We assert the human leukoreduction filter effectiveness on canine whole blood, and we recommend using nLRWB before day 14, especially for critically ill patients. The difference of the basal hemolysis (day 0) percentages observed between subjects suggests that more studies should be performed to confirm a possible inter-individual donor biological variability of RBC membrane resistance, as happens in humans.

Abstract Hydrogen holds enormous potential in helping the world achieve its decarbonization goals and is set to play a key role in the Energy Transition. However, two central building blocks are needed to make the hydrogen economy a reality: 1) a sufficient source of emissions-free (i.e., blue or green) hydrogen production and 2) a needs-based transportation and storage network that can reliably and cost-effectively supply hydrogen to end-users. Given the high costs associated with developing new transportation infrastructure, many governments, pipeline operators, and regulatory bodies have begun exploring if it is both possible and economical to convert existing natural gas (i.e., methane) infrastructure for hydrogen operation. This paper outlines opportunities and technical challenges associated with such an endeavor – with a particular focus on adaptation requirements for rotating equipment/compressor drive trains and metallurgical and integrity considerations for pipelines.

Once hydrogen is generated, the question asked: How do we store hydrogen? Hydrogen can be stored in a variety of ways, each with specific advantages and disadvantages. The overall criteria for choosing a storage method should be safety and ease of use. Described in this paper and listed below are different storage methods available today (compressed hydrogen, liquid carrier storage, glass microsphere, chemically stored hydrogen) in addition to some techniques that are still in the research and development stage: power balls, metal hydride tanks and carbon clusters.

The influence of length and condition of Biomass Storage on the biosorption of lead and zinc that present together in a solution by Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass were studied. In this experiment, variables of length and condition of biomass storage were examined. Concentration of lead and zinc were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) using air-acetilene as atomizing flame. Loading of lead and zinc on the biomass were determined as the difference between the initial and the final concentration of lead and zinc in the solution. Biosorption of lead and zinc were influenced by condition and storage of the biomass. Storage of biomass in the room temperature for one week cause an increasing uptake. Storage for longer period result in decrease of lead and zinc uptake. Storage of biomass in a freezer up to 2 weeks increased the uptake of lead, but did not influence the uptake of zinc. Storage for longer period decreased the uptake of both of lead and zinc. For all condition the uptake of lead higher than the uptake of zinc by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract The objective of this work is to characterize the effect of NCB(Nano-carbon black)on the comprehensive performances and micro, chemical and phase structures of NCB/BWZT/RTV composite [BWZT is Ba (W1/2Cu1/2)O3-Pb0.98Sr0.02 (Mg1/3Nb2/3) 0.275(Ni1/3 Nb2/3)0.10(Zr0.25Ti0.375) O3 and, RTV is Room Temperature Vulcanizing silicone rubber.]. Composites with damping-absorption performances and storage-loss behaviors based on RTV, BWZT and, NCB as conductive agent were fabricated employing three steps methods of ball-milling, three-roller milling and pressing. The effects of NCB and its amount on storage, loss and damping properties were investigated by the method of DMTA and, absorption and mechanical performances are measured by the methods of standing wave tube and TG separately. The micro, chemical and phase structures of composites are characterized by SEM, XRD and IR. The results indicated that both doping of NCB and the combination of BWZT and RTV can be proposed to improve greatly the comprehensive performance of RTV matrixes and, there would be more excellent comprehensive properties in NCB/BWZT/RTV composites with amount of 4 wt. %.-6wt. % for NCB as d33 of 81 pC/N, storage modulus of 25003MPa, loss modulus of 398MPa, damping coefficient of 0.07–0.12, and absorption coefficients of 0.45–0.55 with the difference of frequency in the range of 400-1600Hz. Also, the lattice growth of BWZT is found showing strong dependences on the contents of NCB and, the absorption and damping performance of composites on frequency and temperature separately.
