Production efficiency and safety assessment of the solid waste-derived liquid hydrocarbons.

Global fossil resource utilisation remains a concern. Organic fuels and chemicals produced through catalytic synthesis out of biomass/waste feedstock can help reduce the share of fossil resource utilisation. In this study, a solid waste-derived producer gas from the cross/updraft sliding bed gasification process was applied in a fixed bed catalytic reactor with the goal of producing rich hydrocarbon chains.

A preliminary study of the influence of sagittal plane neck alignment on mylohyoid activity during oropharyngeal swallowing: A surface electromyographic analysis.

Objective: Forward head posture lengthens mylohyoid muscles, but its impact on swallowing is unknown. This study determined the effect of sagittal plane neck alignment on surface electromyographic parameters from mylohyoid muscles during oropharyngeal swallowing in healthy, young women.

Methods: Surface EMG over bilateral mylohyoid muscles was recorded in 10 female subjects (22-37 , Mean = 30 (5.
