“Pollinators are vital for food security and our economy, and widespread losses of pollinators due to climate change will diminish both,” stated Professor…
An intact cell membrane is essential for any cell to function. The external cell membrane can be damaged by mechanical stress, for example in muscle cells, or…
The invention describes a novel heating boiler for wooden pellets for the implementation in CHP plants. Through the use of a counter-flow the air gets cleaned effectively and automatically from ash that is produced while the gasification of the wooden pellets. High temperature corrosion and fouling of the heat exchanger of a stirling engine can be reduced drastically. Up-to-date emission instructions can be reached at high effiency.
