Rare Earth Metals Recycling from E-Wastes: Strategy and Perspective

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Ajay Bhagwan Patil, Mohamed Tarik

A robust and economically viable technology is under development for the recycling of technologically important rare earth (RE) metals from end-of-life lamp fluorescent powder (FP) e-waste. This is one of the first efforts to recycle RE from municipal e-wa ...

Cascaded amplifying circuits enable ultrasensitive cellular sensors for toxic metals

Sebastian Maerkl, Francesca Volpetti, Ekaterina Emilova Petrova

Cell-based biosensors have great potential to detect various toxic and pathogenic contaminants in aqueous environments. However, frequently they cannot meet practical requirements due to insufficient sensing performance. To address this issue, we investiga ...

Assessment of passive sampling for the monitoring of explosive residues in surface water

Sylvain Coudret, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Nicolas Estoppey

Between 1920 and 1967, approximately 8’200 tons of ammunition waste were dumped into several Swiss lakes. Previous studies based on grab sampling revealed traces of HMX, RDX and PETN in the water column of three studied lakes; however, these researches sho ...

A Computer Vision System to Localize and Classify Wastes on the Streets

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Mohammad Saeed Rad, Andreas von Kaenel, André Droux

Littering quantification is an important step for improving cleanliness of cities. When human interpretation is too cumbersome or in some cases impossible, an objective index of cleanliness could reduce the littering by awareness actions. In this paper, we ...

Towards Proving Optimistic Multicore Schedulers

Willy Zwaenepoel, Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers

Operating systems have been shown to waste machine resources by leaving cores idle while work is ready to be scheduled. This results in suboptimal performance for user applications, and wasted power. Recent progress in formal verification methods have led ...

Optimization of the production of methyl ethyl ketone in recombinant Pseudomonas putida using large-scale kinetic models

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Meriç Ataman, Milenko Tokic

The production of second generation of biofuels by conversion of inexpensive feedstocks is a basis for future bio-sustainable economy. Among many proposed molecules, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) emerged as one of the most prominent fuel candidates due to its ...

Small-Molecule Adsorption in Open-Site Metal-Organic Frameworks: A Systematic Density Functional Theory Study for Rational Design

Berend Smit

Using density functional theory, we systematically compute and investigate the binding enthalpies of 14 different small molecules in a series of isostructural metalorganic frameworks, M-MOF-74, with M = Mg, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn. The small ...
