Improving the Economic Feasibility of Small-Scale Biogas-Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Energy Systems through a Local Ugandan Biochar Production Method

A small-scale (up to 5 kWe) biogas-solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) energy system is an envisioned system, which can be used to meet both electrical and thermal energy demand of off-grid settlements.SOFC systems are reported to be more efficient than alternatives like internal combustion engines (ICE).In addition to energy recovery, implementation of b

Development and Validation of Nomogram to Preoperatively Predict Intraoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage in Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BackgroundPituitary adenomas (PAs) are the most common tumor of the sellar region.PA resection is the preferred treatment for patients with clear indications for surgery.Intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (iCSF) leakage is a major complication of PA resection surgery.Risk factors for iCSF leakage have been studied previously, but a predictive nomog
