Design, construction and testing of a floating hood biodigester prototype for municipal waste organic waste

This paper documented the design, construction and operation test of a floating hood biodigester prototype, using organic residues (ruminal content, blood, bovine excreta and viscera) from the municipal trail of Ciudad Valles, S.L.P., with the purpose of generating biogas. The components of the biodigester system considered were: loading duct, concrete biodigester tank, biogas pipeline, floating hood, gas reservoir, discharge duct and discharge tank. A biodigester with storage capacity in the 0.178 m3 floating hood was designed for a 30-day trial operation and storage of 0.120 m3 of organic waste mixture in the biodigester tank. As of day 17 of operation the daily average of biogas generated was 0.1801 m3. The composition of the biogas at day 30 of operation, showed a content of 59.4% of CH4. When performing the flame test, an intense blue coloration was obtained, which indicates that the biogas produced has a high calorific value that will allow heating and flammability.

La Luna

Shale gas has become a major non-conventional energetical resource. La Luna Formation which is commonly considered as the main petroleum source rock, have also shown to be a major reservoir for shale gas resources. In order to understand the "real" potential of this unit and define exploration strategies, the correlation between compositional and petrophysical patterns. We have analyzed 11 shale samples from La Luna and Conejo Formation in the Middle Magdalena basin and the Eastern Cordillera in order to established its composition, total organic contents, thermal maturity, as well as its total porosity and adsorption capacity. Obtained results suggest that due to its organic content, the presence of quartz and carbonate that these shales have a good quality as a gas reservoir and may have also a moderately good behavior during fracturing.

The Internet Of Things

The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol which is intended to be used for constrained networks and devices. CoAP and its extensions (e.g., CoAP observe and group communication) provide the potential for developing novel applications in the Internet-of-Things (IoT). However, a full-fledged CoAP-based application may require significant computing capability, power, and storage capacity in IoT devices. To address these challenges, we present the design, implementation, and experimentation with the CoAP handler which provides transparent CoAP services through the ICN core network. In addition, we demonstrate how the CoAP traffic over an ICN network can unleash the full potential of the CoAP, shifting both overhead and complexity from the (constrained) endpoints to the ICN network. The experiments prove that the CoAP Handler helps to decrease the required computation complexity, communication overhead, and state management of the CoAP server.

Amine Storage Granules

Repeated thrombin treatment of washed platelets prepared from rabbits can decrease the serotonin content of the platelets by about 80%. When these platelets are deaggregated they reaccumulate serotonin but their storage capacity for serotonin is reduced by about 60%. If thrombin-pretreated platelets are allowed to equilibrate with a high concentration of serotonin (123 mu M), they release a smaller percentage of their total serotonin upon further thrombin treatment, in comparison with the percentage of serotonin released from control platelets equilibrated with the same concentration of serotonin calculations indicate that in thrombin-treated platelets reequilibrated with serotonin, two-thirds of the serotonin is in the granule compartment and one-third is in the extragranular compartment, presumably the cytoplasm. Analysis of the exchange of serotonin between the suspending fluid and the platelets showed that thrombin treatment does not alter the transport rate of serotonin across the platelet membrane and does not cause increased diffusion of serotonin from the platelets into the suspending fluid. The primary reason for the reduced serotonin accumulation by the thrombin-treated platelets appears to be loss of amine storage granules or of the storage capacity within the granules.
