Throughout history, the quality of food has been a factor in determining human welfare. Significant research and development efforts on food packaging have been undertaken to address environmental and health issues. Currently, foodborne toxicity poses a plentiful threat to the healthiness of food products in industrialized nations. Though there are still sporadically of microbial, viral, and bacterial diseases, however, the foodborne diseases have been controlled technologically over the most recent revolution in ¿modern food packaging.¿ Nanoparticles can play multidisciplinary roles in a typical food packaging system, either biologically or chemically. Nanoparticles can reinforce the polymeric texture of the packaging film, mechanically and thermally, and also can improve the antimicrobial behavior of packaging materials. Nanosized metal oxides (NMOs) have recently received great interest for modern food packaging. Some NMOs are naturally antimicrobial, which can protect food products against environmental factors. They also inhibit microbial growth on food surfaces. The higher surface area-to-volume ratios of NMOs along with their antimicrobial activities make them appropriate for modern packaging. Antimicrobial bionanocomposite films are efficient against microbial activities. This chapter explains the application of different metal nanoparticles for improving the barrier and antimicrobial properties of food packaging systems.

Energy conversion is the key input for any proper consideration in energy production and consumption. The primary energy sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, petroleum, and renewable energy sources are used to generate secondary sources of energy like hydrogen. The secondary energy source made from primary energy sources. Our need for energy to create order in the world stems from 1850, when Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson (Kelvin) stated the second law of thermodynamics. To order the disorderness and randomness of the natural tendency of matter and energy, a constant flow of quality energy through the system should be created. This orderness could be generated by nature and human society on Earth via their potency to structure and acquire energy. This chapter will cover these fundamental principles in detail.

Hydrogen is an ideal candidate to fuel as ¿future energy needs¿. Hydrogen is a light (Mw = 2.016¿g¿mol-1), abundant, and nonpolluting gas. Hydrogen as a fuel can be a promising alternative to fossil fuels; i.e., it enables energy security and takes cares of climate change issue. Hydrogen has a low density of around 0.0899¿kg¿m-3 at normal temperature, and pressure (~7% of the density of air), which is the main challenge in its real applications. It means, for example, 1¿kg of hydrogen requires an extremely high volume of around 11¿m3. In order to solve this limitation of hydrogen, solid-state hydrogen storage materials are used to store hydrogen efficiently and effectively. In this chapter, an attempt has been developed to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in hydrogen storage materials in terms of capacity, content, efficiency, and mechanism of storage.

The term ¿energetic materials¿ are a class of material, which can release stored molecular chemical energy via external stimulations or internal modifications. We aim to take advantage of these opportunities by bringing some logical ideas onto/into the surface of hydrogen storage materials. In addition, hydrogen energy storage systems provide multiple opportunities to enhance flexibility and improve the economics of energy supply systems in the electric grid, gas pipeline systems, and transportation fuels; therefore, it is critical to boost hydrogen storage performance of the materials. The high mobility of the hydrogen and their variable compositions can be enhanced by improving the properties of the host media. In this chapter, the most important factors, which can affect the hydrogen storage performance of the solid-state materials, will be discussed.

Energy acts as the heart of the world and drives both natural and artificial mechanisms within it. Thus, it demands and causes significant impacts on our environment. Inappropriate energy use and production lead to main environmental problems, which are climate change and energy scarcity as well as a series of impacts. Hence, energy is an essential component of sustainable development. Due to this fact, the established sustainable development goals are in accordance with the energy system for holistic sustainable development actions. Therefore, this chapter reviews the energy and sustainable development. The relationship between energy and sustainable development was illustrated and discussed with the reference to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. In short, energy and sustainable development must be studied and developed simultaneously in an integrated and comprehensive way to ensure the sustainability and wellness of our world.

An efficient and novel sensing platform composed of self-assembled materials is urgently required for real-life applications and economic commercialization. In this chapter, the terms ¿sensors¿ and ¿biosensors¿ will be defined in various disciplines and applications including chemical, environment, clinical, and biology. Furthermore, the synthesis, assembly, and applications of nanosized (mixed) metal oxides containing either covalently linked organic or inorganic compounds to form nanocomposites will be explained. Biosensors are analytical devices made of a biorecognition element and a physicochemical transducer. The activity/concentration of an analyte can be recorded by a biological element. The sensing takes place either as a binding or a biocatalytical event. These interactions change in the solution property, and the transducer converts these into a quantifiable electrical signal.

Green energies are vital for near-future energy needs. Hydrogen is a promising secondary energy career that counted as a clean-burning fuel. However, hydrogen suffers from a low volumetric energy density at ambient temperature and pressure. This deficiency has been overcome by ¿solid-state hydrogen storage¿ technologies, where the hydrogen is adsorbed/absorbed - depending on the type of materials - on a solid surface. Mixed metal oxides (MMOs) particularly transition-based metal oxides have been recently developed for hydrogen adsorption with a superior affinity for hydrogen. Here, we demonstrated two nanosized-MMOs based on (mono-) perovskite structure, Li2TiO3, and LaTiO3. These two MMOs are successfully synthesized via the auto-combustion method in the presence of starch fuel. After confirmation of their structures and morphologies, the samples are used for electrochemical hydrogen storage in an alkaline medium. The average particle diameters of Li2TiO3 and LaTiO3 are calculated to be around 16.74 and 24.46 nm, respectively. The results indicate a higher discharge capacity of LaTiO3 nanoperovskites (1140 mAh/g) as compared to Li2TiO3 nanoparticles (680 mAh/g); as confirmed primarily by cyclic voltammetry (CV), with the theoretical hydrogen capacities of 4.1% and 2.4%, respectively. We believe that novel MMOs can be potentially fulfilled the requirements of future energy targets, arranged and reported by US-department of energy (DOE).

Hypothesis: With increased development and electricity generation, great care to energy storage systems is crucial to overcome the discontinuity in the renewable production. Hydrogen is an ideal energy carrier for near future mobility, like automotive applications. Solid-state hydrogen storage materials including nanomaterials and layered systems are the key enablers to the future energy needs. However, the current materials are unable to meet all requirements in the storage capacity and commercialization. The hydrogen storage mechanisms (physical and chemical) are the key-points addressing the shortcomings in hydrogen absorption/adsorption in the interlayer space or on the surface of the material. All above require strategy for designing new hydrogen storage materials. Experiments: This review lays the recent foundations in the materials suitable for hydrogen storage particularly alloys, mixed metal oxides (MMOs), and their respective nanocomposites. Alloys and MMOs are two classes of materials with high discharge capacities, appropriate electrochemical performances, chemical stability, easy production pathways, and almost low cost. In the same vein, highly porous materials with a large surface area such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes and carbon materials are thermodynamically and kinetically more favorable. Findings: The literature review illustrates that it is crucial to develop new materials with large-surface area, homogeneous texture, active-conductive profiles, large oxygen vacancies and low-cost. Multiphase materials (nanocomposites/hybrids) composed of at least two of above-mentioned materials can meet the established requirements in this field. Also, the present paper demonstrates a general overview of promoted understanding of hydrogen storage mechanisms on alloy/MMOs-based compounds in the energy storage systems. It is hoped that these observations pave the potential exploration directions to dominate imminent challenges in solid-state hydrogen storage.

Rapid scale-up of the technologies for clean energy production, conversion and storage have been adopted by many countries in order to reduce demand for fossil fuels. Primary renewable energy such as solar, wind, and hydro are developed for energy production particularly for electricity generation. However, there are still some deficiencies in direct use of primary renewable energy sources; therefore, secondary energy sources (or carriers) have been recently established as clean energy sources. Hydrogen is a type of secondary energy sources with almost low density and light weight; therefore, it must be stored in the form of liquid or gas. The storage of hydrogen in the form of liquid requires very low temperature. Solid-state hydrogen storage on the surfaces of solids or within solids is a promising solution to above shortcomings for high-density energy storage. Herein, multi-layers solid-state materials with ability of hydrogen adsorption are presented, for the first time, including ¿mixed metal oxide (MMO) nanostructures¿ and ¿silicate layers¿. The MMO is CuCe2(MoO4)4 nanostructures which synthesized via Pechini method in front of various chelating agents such as trimesic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, and malonic acid, while the silicate layer is nanoclay montmorillonite K10. In this study, the experimental observations reveal a pure formation of CuCe2(MoO4)4 nanostructures in malonic acid at 500 °C, with almost regular nanosized morphology of 20¿25 nm. The selected sample is then used for nanocomposite formation by dispersing the CuCe2(MoO4)4 nanostructures into the montmorillonite K10 solution. The final nanocomposites exhibit a superior electrochemical hydrogen storage performance, in terms of ¿maximum discharge capacity of ~ 3750 mAh/g)¿ and ¿efficiency of about 70%¿ in an alkaline medium. It must be mentioned that though the maximum discharge capacity of the CuCe2(MoO4)4 nanostructures is higher than nanocomposites (for example ~ 6000 mAh/g), but the efficiency (discharge/charge) is lower (~48%). It can be emphasized that this nanocomposite can be applied as promising host in an electrochemical hydrogen storage system, which can meet the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hydrogen storage targets.

Background: Plant-based proteins as an alternative to synthetic polymers have attracted the interest of the global packaging industry in the last decade due to their biodegradability, sustainability, environmental, and beneficial health claims. Scope and approach: This review covers the recent developments in biodegradable packaging such as edible films/coatings and innovative packaging materials based on plant protein sources. The importance, sources, and techno-functional properties of plant-derived proteins for food packaging are discussed. The impact of different additives on the functionality of plant protein-based biodegradable materials is also investigated. In addition, plant protein-based packaging characteristics and their application in food are also introduced. Key findings and conclusions: The sustainability, biodegradability, renewability, and appropriate mechanical and techno-functional properties of proteins from plant origin make them an emerging substitute to the conventional synthetic polymers currently used as food packaging. The functional performance of plant protein-based biodegradable materials can be extended or enhanced by incorporating other additives or biopolymers. Bio-packaging materials made from plant-based proteins provide great potential for enhancing food quality and safety, reducing the environmental pollution.

Many countries are suffering from the limitation of clean energy sources. Global management nowadays is facing severe problems and challenges in supply energy without destroying the environment. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a solution, that makes the best use of organic matter by changing it to biogas to generate of renewable heat, electricity, and fuel. Here, we demonstrate the potential of the feedstock¿cassava peel (CP) and cassava stem (CS)¿to produce biogas, using a continuous laboratory-scale AD reactor (2L working volumes) operated at mesophilic conditions (T = 35¿°C), an organic loading rate of 0.0756¿gCOD/L.day, for 25¿days. Cassava peel depicted high total suspended solids (TSS = 404¿mg/g), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5 = 0.28¿mg/L), and chemical oxygen demand (COD = 378¿mg/L) as compared to cassava stem. Moreover, the hemicellulose and cellulose in the peel are higher than the stem. A compost tea from the vermicomposting process is using as an inoculum for the AD reactor. The highest biogas yield (~ 1000¿ml) obtained from cassava peel with seeding. Polynomial trends with acceptable regression obtained for biogas generation and operating pH. The results also indicate that in the selected experimental range (25¿days), the highest yield of biogas generation can be observed in the range of day 13 to day 20 to be around 56.1¿54.5% (CP + S) and 54.5¿50.0% (CS + S), respectively. Finally, the overall trends of cumulative biogas and cumulative methane yields in both CP + S and CS + S show linearity with almost positive slops.

Rapid population growth and urbanization contribute to an ever-increasing global energy demand, of which the building sector accounts for one-third. The increasing average height and density of buildings escalate the need for vertical transportation, expanding elevator usage and energy needs. This phenomenon accounts for a significant amount of the total building energy use, necessitating a study of elevator system energy consumption. This study aimed to analyze the energy consumption and carbon emissions of elevator systems in low-and high-rise buildings towards energy-efficient estimations. A comprehensive analysis was performed based on a hybrid approach of measurement and calculation using a formula and reference values derived from previous studies. Four buildings were selected and thoroughly studied, representing the low-and high-rise categories. Data were collected based on on-site sampling and observation, as well as information from the building management offices. The mechanical parameters of the elevator system in each building and operational factors in terms of speed, number of trips, load, travel distance, and time were studied. In this analysis, the energy consumption calculation was performed according to International Standard ISO 25745. Annual carbon emissions were calculated in accordance with the USA EPA and IPCC guidelines. The elevator energy efficiency class was determined based on daily energy consumption. It was found from this study that the annual energy consumption of an elevator system is positively correlated to an elevator¿s daily energy consumption. The annual carbon emissions of the elevator systems are dependent on increasing annual energy consumption, which is also connected to building height indirectly. The low-rise buildings showed better energy efficiency compared to the high-rise buildings due to lower travel distance, less trips, and fewer floors. The annual number of trips, travel distances, and energy consumption had an effect on the energy efficiency of the elevator systems in this study.

Background: Cheese is a perishable product because of its dynamic microbiological and biochemical changes during manufacturing, ripening, and marketing. In this area, packaging plays an essential role in the cheese industry. Scope and approach: The growing environmental concerns about using non-biodegradable materials in cheese packaging have encouraged research to develop biomaterials for cheese coating and packaging. Bio-nanocomposite films could be employed to decrease the weight loss and minimize the microbiological spoilage of cheese by controlling oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange rate and as a carrier of antimicrobial agents. Key findings and conclusions: The purpose of the current review is to familiarize the readers with the advantages and attributes of bio-nanocomposite films/coating and their application on cheese to improve its shelf life and reduce the usage of non-biodegradable polymers. This study provides the recent scientific findings on different bio-packaging materials and their properties applicable for different types of cheese.

Hydrogen energy is a key role in novel renewable energy production/consumption technologies. Traditional hydrogen energy systems are suffered from low density, high production cost, low efficiency, and storage complications. With the advent of solid-state hydrogen storage technology, many of above shortcomings are fulfilled, however, there are several unknown points, particularly in mixed metal oxides, which need more attention. Herein, we report the production of an engineered truncated octahedron shaped nanocrystal containing cobalt (Co), cerium (Ce), and Molybdenum (Mo) ions, emphasizing the general formula CoCe2(MoO4)4 via a solution combustion method. Experimental observations reveal that the CoCe2(MoO4)4 nanocrystals are purely formed in maltose at 700 °C, with almost regular truncated octahedron morphology, having an octahedral edge-size of around 45 nm. This morphological arrangement exhibits significantly an enhanced electrochemical hydrogen storage performance, in an alkaline medium, with maximum discharge capacity of ~4750 mAh/g.

Farmers globally withstand a range of carcinogenic exposures, including pesticides (solid and liquid), trace elements, wood dusts, and solar radiation. However, the potential risk and occupational exposure require more attention, since farming is a very diverse occupation with many tasks. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess potential risks and occupational exposure of pesticides among rice farmers in Malaysia. Field data are collected in a village located in the Northern Peninsular of Malaysia. Thirty-two farmers (which are assigned as F1 to F32) are selected for a thorough look at the farms. In the Northern Peninsular of Malaysia, four different pesticides are frequently used by the rice farmers including buprofezin, chlorpyrifos, difenoconazole, and lambda cyhalothrin. In order to follow up the right trend of exposure rate (ER), the farmers categorise/rank into two levels, 3 and 4, with respect to hazard rating (HR) and frequency rating (FR), and in terms of magnitude rating (MR), they assort into 3 to 5 levels. Finally, a risk matrix is designed during risk assessment to calculate the risk rating (RR). It can be deduced that the rice farmers are a high-risk group in relation to harmful exposure of pesticides under categories 3 to 5. Since the farmers are exposure to a wide variety of different carcinogens, several risk minimisation strategies (as recommended) are urgently required, in order to reduce the impact of exposure.

The global energy, political situation, and energy consumption today are different from that in the early 1970s. Understanding energy use is correlative with the environmental and human health concerns; therefore, other alternative fuels for everyday use are urgently required. Hydrogen, also known as a secondary energy source, is a promising alternative and clean burning fuel; however, it has a low energy per unit volume (low density), therefore requires an advanced storage method. Herein, we utilize an effective method (Pechini) for synthesis of SrCe2-x-y(MoO4)4:xHo/yYb (x = 0, 0.1, y = 0, 0.3, 0.4) nanoparticles, in order to examine the electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the samples. Prior to dive into this application, the analyzing based-composition, purity, and morphology of the samples confirm the formation of nanoscaled-SrCe2-x-y(MoO4)4:xHo/yYb. The presence of metal¿metal (M¿M) bonds and M¿O¿M bonds affirm the complete interactions between precursors. Finally, the electrochemical hydrogen storage profiles of the samples containing Holmium (Ho) and Ytterbium (Yb), in 6M KOH electrolyte, indicate higher discharge capacities and charge-discharge efficiencies. In addition, as compared to the blank (the sample without Yb and Ho), the SrCe1.6(MoO4)4:Ho0.1/Yb0.3 nanoparticles show an improved electrochemical hydrogen storage properties with the maximum discharge capacity of 3250 mAh g-1 and discharge/charge efficiency of ~60% at 1 mA current.

The objective of this work is to access the possibility of mycelium as a new reinforcement and inexpensive bio-matrix in production of bio-composite board. In this study, mycelium has been obtained from different substrate, inoculation time, and heating time processing. Various properties of the mycelium bio-matrix, either chemical or physical, were measured using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Light Microscopy, and flexural strength test. The structural analysis of the samples indicates that the chitin content in the mycelium increases as inoculated with either cellulosic substrate or starch substrates, but with prolonged inoculation time. The TGA and DSC thermograms reveal that the thermal stability and glass transition (Tg) temperature are improved with prolonged inoculation time. The morphological observations confirm the presence of mycelium networks which can be used as a potential bio-matrix in bio-composites. The mechanical properties of the samples, at pressing times of 20 and 40 min, show an enhanced flexural strength of mycelium bio-composite board from 1.82 MPa to 3.91 MPa.

High energy demand that is indicated by abundant energy use especially fossil fuels, has led to the depletion of fossil fuels, global warming, and air pollution. Consequently, clean sustainable renewable energy was developed to provide safe, clean, secure and affordable energy. Amongst various forms of harvestable energy, the kinetic energy is easily detected, abundant, and widely available. Moreover, the industrial revolutions brought to the mechanical dominant world, increasing the kinetic energy within the ecosystem. It can be harvested more directly compared to other forms of energy. However, there are many systems with significant kinetic energy do not complement with any kinetic energy harvesting technology. Therefore, this paper reviews the fundamentals and applications of the kinetic energy harvesting from clean sustainable renewable sources via three different transduction mechanisms, besides their pros and cons, opportunity, challenges, and environmental impacts. Similarly, this paper briefs about their carbon performance, and existing policies promoting their use or development. Based on the discussions, suggestions were given on the policy to promote the clean sustainable renewable kinetic energy harvesting. This paper provides understanding and information on the kinetic energy harvesting; besides explore its potential applications and impacts, contributing to sustainable energy harvesting and use.

The aim of this study is to examine the chemical compositions (extractive, alphacellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) of the spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and rubberwood sawdust (RWS) to evaluate its suitability in the production of binderless particleboard. In this study, SMS fiber and RWS fiber were used to produce experimental binderless particleboard panels. Binderless particleboards were made with a target density of 0.80 g/cm3 at temperature 130 °C and a pressure of 5 MPa under the hot press. The chemical composition of the SMS fiber was found to be slightly lower than that of the RWS fiber. The degradation of the chemical composition can cause reduction of particle size and discoloration of fibers. Binderless particleboard made from SMS fiber also shows slightly lower mechanical properties as compared to the RWS fiber. The reaction and thermal profiles show almost similar characteristics for both SMS and RWS samples. However, the spent mushroom substrate (SMS) shows slightly lower chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties as compared to the rubberwood sawdust (RWS).

Land scarcity in relation to the swift urbanisation causes vertical development of buildings and infrastructures. The increasing importance of the main vertical transport-elevator, urges the elevator aerodynamics study to evaluate its acoustic, ride comfort, aerodynamics performance, and airflow effect. They were carried out experimentally or(and) via modeling and simulation. However, among the very limited published CFD studies on the elevator aerodynamics, there is insufficient detailed method and data been presented. Consequently, there is a very limited open-source established method and preliminary data necessary for the elevator aerodynamic study, restricting the potential improvement in this topic. Therefore, this paper studies the behaviour and turbulence of the airflow induced by the elevator car movement in the elevator shaft using the PIMPLE algorithm and the k-epsilon model. Details on the theories and methods were explained and discussed, which include the computational domain settings, governing principles and equations, numerical methods and mechanisms, and boundary conditions. An unsteady, turbulent, incompressible, and Newtonian airflow was assumed in the OpenFOAM simulation. The airflow was affected mainly by the blockage effect and the Bernoulli¿s effect. The simulation result obeys the theories of fluid mechanics and physics, indicating its reliability to be the preliminary data for further study.

The theory of an "ammonia fountain" was developed to synthesize a CoTiO3 nanoporous matrix using a modified co-precipitation method at the interface of the aqueous solution and the saturated NH3 atmosphere. On the basis of this theory, for the first time, a new assumption was expanded to show the regular (re)arrangement of metal cations near to the surface of the solution. The morphology of the CoTiO3 phase was observed using SEM. The result indicates the nano-narrow formation of CoTiO3 particles. The size of the particles was calculated at about 27 nm. From the XRD patterns, the formation of cobalt titanate nanoparticles was confirmed.

Nano-biohybrid, based on biodegradable polyester, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), and a commercial organo modified montmorillonite (MMT), were prepared by solvent casting technique. Morphology and non-isothermal degradation of PHB and PHB/MMT hybrids were characterized by POM and TG-DTG technique. In the composite materials, an increase MMT loading in the PHB decreased the onset temperature (Tonset) of thermal degradation, while it achieved higher values upon increasing the heating rate. Kissinger plots deduced a trend of the degradation activation energy, Ed, which was related to the agglomeration of MMT. The thermal degradation rate constant, k, was related to the MMT loading in PHB. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the expansion of MMT silicate layers. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
