Patent shows promise for improved method of carbon capture

2013-08-27 22:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: An innovative method for stripping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from industrial emissions is potentially cheaper and more efficient than current methods, according to a United States patent based on research by Dr. Jason E. Bara, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering at The University of Alabama. Nearly all commercially-available efforts at scrubbing greenhouse gasses, GHG's, from emissions use a liquid solution of water and amine, derived from ammonia, that contacts...

LVDS DIO Module serves control, data capture applications.

2013-08-27 14:29:59| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

With built-in data capture and data generation facilities, Model 71610 provides 32 LVDS differential input or output pairs plus LVDS clock, data valid, and flow control signals via front panel, 80-pin connector routed to Virtex-6 FPGA. This VITA 42 XMC Cobalt® module can plug into such carriers as VPX, cPCI, AMC, and PCIe. While x4 PCIe is supported on primary P15 XMC connector, secondary P16 XMC connector supports dual 4X or single 8X user-installed gigabit serial interfaces.

Africa: Desert Plantations Could Help Capture Carbon

2013-08-27 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

SciDevNet: Planting trees in coastal deserts could capture carbon dioxide, reduce harsh desert temperatures, boost rainfall, revitalise soils and produce cheap biofuels, say scientists. Large-scale plantations of the hardy jatropha tree, Jatropha curcas, could help sequester carbon dioxide through a process known as 'carbon farming', according to a study based on data gathered in Mexico and Oman that was published in Earth System Dynamics last month (31 July). Each hectare of the tree could soak up 17-25...
