Bitcoin mining is an industry which for many years has been criticized for its electricity consumption, which globally today equals roughly that of small countries such as Sweden, and its subsequent contribution to climate change. However, electricity consumption does not by default equals greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and not many studies have been done on the subject with a focus on Sweden, he
Markers of mercury (Hg) exposure have shown both positive and negative associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We assessed the association between serum Hg (S-Hg) and risk of cardiovascular disease in a prospective population-based cohort, with attention to the roles of dental health and fish consumption. Total mortality, as well as morbidity and mortality from acute myocardial infarction
Aims: To examine whether the socio-economic determinants of alcohol use found in high-income university student settings are also true of Uganda. Design: Two cross-sectional surveys, conducted in 2005 and 2010, combined into a single dataset. Setting: Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) in southwestern Uganda. Participants: 2,934 students (N in 2005 = 980; N in 2010 = 1,954). To
A novel pilot-control globe valve, which can be used in vertical pipelines with a lower driving energy consumption, is proposed. A governing equation for valve core motion is obtained through a theoretical analysis of the forces applied on the valve core. A 3D simulation of valve core motion is conducted in Fluent by using User Defined Function (UDF) to involve different spring stiffness, steady s

IntroductionGlobal water scarcity necessitates innovative approaches to water treatment. Membrane technology has emerged as a key solution, demonstrating its effectiveness across a range of applications, from seawater desalination using reverse osmosis to wastewater treatment with membrane bioreactors. This presentation will introduce three novel water treatment concepts based on membrane technolo
This paper presents our studies on the effects of using SIMD processor extension developed to enhance the processor performance for streaming applications. Our approach was evaluated using MPEG-4 encoding application as benchmark. Although MPEG-4 consists of many different operations, we concentrated on the sum of absolute differences (SAD), a major part of the motion estimation. The SAD was chose

Global clothing consumption is increasing, with many garments having unnecessarily short lifetimes due to low quality materials and manufacturing, often linked to price pressures. Current European Union strategies focus on improving technical durability, product maintenance, and waste collection, but fail to address the role of the consumer for durable garments. A better understanding of drivers a
Wide-viscosity-range impellers have extensive demands and applications in process industry. The gas–liquid dispersion and mass transfer characteristics of wide-viscosity-range impellers including Large-double-blade (LDB) impeller, Fullzone (FZ) impeller and Maxblend (MB) impeller in water solutions of xanthan gum were investigated experimentally and compared. The influences of gas flow rate, impel

We propose a method of reducing the switching noise in the substrate of an integrated circuit. The main idea is to design the digital circuits to obtain a periodic supply current with the same period as the clock. This property locates the frequency components of the switching noise above the clock frequency. Differential return-to-zero signaling is used to reduce the data-dependency of the curren
