The current work addresses the design and assessment of different biomass conversion pathways based on anaerobic digestion for the efficient transformation of the raw materials to a variety of products, including bio-SNG, heat and power. Using a generic su ...
This paper summarizes the round-table discussion that was held during the European Congress of Chemical Engineering (ECCE) in Nice, France, in October 2015 on this topic. The panellists come from different fields of chemical engineering and have thus broug ...
Extension of the Standard Model with two right-handed neutrinos provides an economic and testable explanation of the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We review recent progress in understanding dynamics of the asymmetry generation. We also pr ...
The world economy is undergoing dramatic changes, largely driven by the new availability of fine-grained information. Innovative ways of using datalarge and small-have also prompted a rethinking of the boundaries for the combination and use of knowledge. T ...
