Home-work commuting has always attracted significant research attention because of its impact on human mobility. One the key assumptions in this domain study is universal uniformity commute times. However, a true comparison patterns often been hindered by intrinsic differences data collection methods, which make observation from different countries potentially biased and unreliable. In present work, we approach problem through use mobile phone call detail records (CDRs), offers consistent...

To investigate the transition from non-cancerous to metastatic a physical sciences perspective, Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PS-OC) Network performed molecular and biophysical comparative studies of non-tumorigenic MCF-10A MDA-MB-231 breast epithelial cell lines, commonly used as models cancer metastasis. Experiments were in 20 laboratories 12 PS-OCs. Each laboratory was supplied with identical aliquots common reagents culture protocols. Analyses these measurements revealed dramatic...

This study leverages mobile phone data to analyze human mobility patterns in a developing nation, especially comparison those of more industrialized nation. Developing regions, such as the Ivory Coast, are marked by number factors that may influence mobility, less infrastructural coverage and maturity, economic resources stability, some cases, cultural language-based diversity. By comparing collected from Coast similar Portugal, we able highlight both qualitative quantitative differences -...

Abstract The state of California could play an important role in emerging markets for biochar, due part to the availability low‐value biomass resources and their potential use agriculture sector. In this study, we assess scale production use, comment on biochar California. We explore various sectors application produced from local using surveys a market‐sizing approach. A market‐oriented approach innovation ecosystem around producer is also discussed. Next, identify barriers market success...

Growing concerns of emissions from wildfires and burning crop residues demand cleaner efficient technologies to convert utilize this residual biomass. The present study demonstrates a pilot scale moving bed biomass torrefaction reactor operating in oxidative medium produce biochar for soil amendment. A series experiments are conducted on pine shavings rice husk, at conditions corresponding different values index (Itorr), ratio higher heating value torrefied (i.e. biochar) that raw...

Abstract The temperature experienced by reactants during preparation in a reactor is key component determining the yield and homogeneity of usable chemical products such as biomass particles. Thermocouples with sensors can be used to monitor spatial gradients within reactors but these are often too expensive and/or invasive. present work proposes strategy identify optimal machine learning models infer maximum effective particles oxidative torrefaction using thermochemical combustion...
