Impaired cognitive flexibility and heightened urgency are associated with increased alcohol consumption in rodent models of excessive drinking

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is characterized by impairments in decision-making that can exist as stable traits or transient states. Cognitive inflexibility reflects an inability to update information that guides decision-making and is thought to contribute ...

Production and characterization of stabilized lignin

Masoud Talebi Amiri

Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable source of renewable carbon, and it is the most abundant form of terrestrial biomass. The three main constituents of lignocellulosic biomass are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The monomers from these biopolyme ...

Gasoline hybrid pneumatic engine for efficient vehicle powertrain hybridization

François Maréchal, Zlatina Kirilova Dimitrova

The largest applied convertors in passenger cars are the internal combustion engines – gasoline, diesel, adapted also for operating on alternative fuels and hybrid modes. The number of components that are necessary to realize modern future propulsion syste ...

Ethanol internal steam reforming in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm

This study investigates the performance of a standard Ni-YSZ anode supported cell under ethanol steam reforming operating conditions. Therefore, the fuel cell was directly operated with a steam/ethanol mixture (3 to 1 molar). Other gas mixtures were also u ...

Life cycle assessment of biofuels: Energy and greenhouse gas balances

Edgard Gnansounou, Arnaud Dauriat, Luis Alberto Panichelli, Juan David Villegas Gomez

The promotion of biofuels as energy for transportation in the industrialized countries is mainly driven by the perspective of oil depletion, the concerns about energy security and global warming. However due to sustainability constraints, biofuels will rep ...

Energy and greenhouse gas balances of biofuels: biases induced by LCA modelling choices

Edgard Gnansounou, Arnaud Dauriat, Luis Alberto Panichelli, Juan David Villegas Gomez

Estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) balances of biofuels is subject to significant biases stemming from modelling choices about system definition and boundaries, functional unit, reference systems and allocation methods. This paper investigates extent to which ...

Modeling the Transport Sector: The Role of Existing Fuel Taxes in Climate Policy

Existing fuel taxes play a major role in determining the welfare effects of exempting the transportation sector from measures to control greenhouse gases. To study this phenomenon we modify the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model to d ...

Alternative anode materials for methane oxidation in solid oxide fuel cells

Joseph Sfeir

Fuel Cells are electrochemical devices that are able to directly convert chemical energy to electrical energy, without any Carnot limitation. Hence, their energy efficiencies are relatively high. Among the various types of fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cell ...

Beta-endorphin administration interferes with the acquisition and initial maintenance of ethanol preference in the rat

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Attention has been focused on the possibility of an interaction between the endorphinergic system and ethanol intake. In the present study, the effects of subcutaneous (SC) administration of beta-endorphin (beta-E) (0.25, 1 and 5 micrograms/kg) and/or nalo ...
