DOI: 10.1007/s11082-019-2179-z
Abstract: Refractive index is directly proportional to the concentration of medium. Based on this principle, we report two schemes of measuring varying concentration of solvent by measuring output response through intensity interrogation. In the first case,… read more here.

Microalgae Biodiesel as a Valuable Alternative to Fossil Fuels
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "BioEnergy Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s12155-019-10033-6
Abstract: The world economic growth causes the excessive use of fossil fuels which are the main sources of environmental pollution and global warming due to the production of carbon dioxide and sulfur compounds. Microalgae biodiesel has… read more here.
