The article notes that more than 65% of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves are difficult to master, information is given on the effectiveness indicators of various methods used to obtain residual resources, and a new method is proposed. For the first time in the world, the effect of nonlinear resonances in the productive layer is achieved by creating mechanical movements in the anchor of an electromagnetic device fed from a three-phase network reduced to the productive layer, which directly leads to a change in the conductivity of the layer.

Ethiopia possesses the most important and diversified genepool of Coffea arabica in wild populations, traditional landraces and cultivated varieties. The availability of high genetic diversity is fundamental for any crop improvement program for use by the plant breeders. This study presents economic valuation of Coffea arabica in terms of pest and disease resistance, increased productivity /yield, drought tolerance or climate change resilience, low caffeine content and higher cup quality. The wild Coffea arabica embedded in the natural forest has a wide range of benefits, including cultivated coffee genetic enhancement, provision of ecological services as well as an intrinsic value. This economic assessment estimated the values of Coffea arabica biodiversity in term of coffee genetic enhancement for increased yield, increased pest and disease resistance, low caffeine, high cup quality, drought and climate change resilience, and GHG reduction using indirect market-based of revealed preference techniques. Our assessment revealed enormous potential of Ethiopia’s Arabica coffee biodiversity to improve and sustainably produce coffee globally and in the country. If Ethiopia exploits its coffee genetic resources potential for coffee production in the country, it gets an additional benefit of USD 2.37-5.84 billion per year. Besides, if coffee producing countries use the genetic resources in Ethiopia to solve their coffee production problems, there is a potential economic benefit of USD7.6-8.1 billion per year. If users of these genetic resources are willing to pay 5% of their gain in economic benefit from the accessed Ethiopian coffee genetic resources to Ethiopia, the country can get additional income of about USD380-403 million per year.

The study aimed to investigate the performance of a fixed bed column using magnetic biochar as an adsorbent for synthetic dye wastewater treatment. The magnetic biochar was synthesized by pyrolyzing paper mill sludge at 350 ℃ and modified with iron oxide nanoparticles to enhance its magnetic properties. The adsorption capacity of the magnetic biochar was evaluated using methylene blue (MB) dye in wastewater. In present study the fixed bed column adsorption was conducted using MBC to treat MB wastewater. A fixed bed column setup was utilized in the experiments, maintaining a continuous flow rate of 15 mL/min at various bed height (i.e. 2.5, 5 & 7cm). Breakthrough & exhaustion capacity for each three different bed height at constant flow rate was also carried out. The Yoon-Nelson and Thomas kinetics models were also used in order to understand the dynamic performance of the fixed bed column. the respectively. The results shows that Yoon-Nelson model fitted best for the experimental data approximately R2 value of 0.96 against Thomas model R2 value of 0.95. Hence, it can be concluded that fixed bed column with MBC performed best with higher bed height & adsorption process is limited by film & pore diffusion
该研究旨在调查使用磁性生物炭作为吸附剂的固定床柱处理合成染料废水的性能。磁性生物炭是通过在 350 ℃ 下热解造纸厂污泥合成的，并用氧化铁纳米颗粒修饰以增强其磁性。利用废水中的亚甲基蓝（MB）染料对磁性生物炭的吸附能力进行了评估。本研究使用磁性生物炭进行固定床柱吸附，以处理甲基溴废水。实验中使用了固定床柱装置，在不同的床层高度（即 2.5、5 和 7 厘米）下保持 15 毫升/分钟的连续流速。实验还对三种不同床高在恒定流速下的突破和耗尽能力进行了测定。为了了解固定床色谱柱的动态性能，还分别使用了尹-纳尔逊动力学模型和托马斯动力学模型。结果表明，Yoon-Nelson 模型最适合实验数据，R2 值约为 0.96，而 Thomas 模型的 R2 值为 0.95。因此，可以得出结论：采用 MBC 的固定床柱在床高较高时性能最佳，吸附过程受到薄膜和孔隙扩散的限制。

Utilitarianism has the strength of taking into account all the foreseeable consequences of actions, but the weakness of heeding only their impacts on subjective states such as happiness and unhappiness. This omits many impacts of positive and negative value for human beings, let alone non-humans. Thus it fails to take into account the value of people’s lives developing in accordance with their autonomous wishes, one of the emphases of modern medical ethics. John Stuart Mill wrote as if autonomy and happiness co-incided, people being the best judges of where their happiness lies. But there is no guarantee of this coincidence. The omission of autonomy also points to the omission within utilitarianism of the value of the fulfilment of people’s capacities, insofar as these are central to their humanity. Ignoring the value of fulfilled capacities suggests that people are living well if their lives are pleasant but many central capacities are underdeveloped, whether through lack of education, of encouragement, or of love and care. Nor should subjective states be prioritised as favoured by utilitarianism, for happiness is compatible with a stunted life, and unhappiness with one fulfilled in most but not all respects. Thus a broader value-theory is needed than that of utilitarianism, including the fulfilment of capacities central to one’s inherited nature. This brings in the flourishing of non-human creatures as well as of humans. The capacity of captured wild animals to function in the wild is, on this basis, of significant value, even if the fulfilment of reflective capacities has greater value. Moral standing should be seen as attaching to whatever has a good of its own, and thus of whatever is alive [1]. The range of ethical concern extends to future creatures, as well as current ones, and all the foreseeable impacts of current actions and policies should be taken into account when decisions are being made. This already helps show how consequentialism may comprise an acceptable environmental ethic. Some philosophers, however, maintain that wholes such as ecosystems and species are valuable and are not yet taken into account. However, both ecosystems and species can be understood as composed of their living members, present and future, and the good of all of these in recognised by the broadened consequentialism just presented. Ecosystems also include non-living components, but there is no need (or point) in ascribing intrinsic value to these. Ecosystems, including their non-living components, are of great importance, but their importance is instrumental to the lives and the flourishing of their living members. As ecosystems, they lack a good of their own, partly because they have no clear boundaries and criteria of identity, and partly because they lack inherited capacities by reference to which their good could be appraised.

功利主义的优点是考虑到行动的所有可预见后果，但缺点是只关注行动对幸福和不幸福等主观状态的影响。这就忽略了许多对人类具有积极和消极价值的影响，更不用说对非人类的影响了。因此，它没有考虑到人的生命按照其自主意愿发展的价值，而这正是现代医学伦理的重点之一。约翰-斯图亚特-密尔（John Stuart Mill）在书中写道，自主与幸福似乎是相辅相成的，人们是自己幸福所在的最佳评判者。但这种巧合并无保证。对自主性的忽略也表明功利主义忽视了实现人的能力的价值，因为这些能力是人性的核心。忽视能力实现的价值意味着，如果人们的生活令人愉悦，那么他们就生活得很好，但许多核心能力却没有得到充分发展，无论是由于缺乏教育、鼓励还是关爱。也不应该像功利主义所主张的那样，把主观状态放在首位，因为幸福的生活是与发育不良的生活相容的，而不幸福的生活则是在大多数方面而非所有方面都得到满足的生活。因此，我们需要一种比功利主义更广泛的价值理论，包括满足一个人与生俱来的核心能力。这就带来了非人类生物和人类的繁荣。在此基础上，被捕获的野生动物在野外活动的能力具有重要价值，即使反思能力的实现具有更大的价值。道德地位应被视为依附于任何具有自身利益的事物，因此也依附于任何有生命的事物[1]。伦理关注的范围既包括当前的生物，也包括未来的生物，在做出决定时，应考虑到当前行动和政策的所有可预见影响。这已经有助于说明结果论是如何构成一种可接受的环境伦理的。然而，一些哲学家坚持认为，生态系统和物种等整体是有价值的，尚未被考虑在内。然而，生态系统和物种都可以被理解为由其现在和未来的生物成员组成，所有这些生物成员的利益都被刚才介绍的广义结果论所认可。生态系统也包括非生物成分，但没有必要（或没有意义）赋予这些成分内在价值。生态系统，包括其非生物成分，都非常重要，但它们的重要性对于其生物成员的生命和繁衍生息至关重要。作为生态系统，它们缺乏自身的价值，部分原因是它们没有明确的界限和身份标准，部分原因是它们缺乏可用于评价其价值的继承能力。物种被理解为种群，既包括其现在的成员，也包括其未来的成员，所有这些成员的繁荣都属于广义后果论的范畴。它们也可以被理解为抽象概念，但没有任何价值。因此，广义后果论没有遗漏任何有价值的东西，有可能成为一种可接受的环境伦理。

Energy is the driving force behind everything we know and experience. To ensure its availability we seek out energy sources of every type real and imaginable. Its presence in every aspect of our lives gives us the illusion that we understand what it is. Yet every branch of science has a different description of energy that is suitable in its own area of expertise, but is not applicable in general. It may come as a surprise then that energy has properties of its own, verifiable by experiment, that are universal and extend throughout all of Nature from the tiniest particles to the heavenly bodies and life itself. When we explore the universal properties of energy we will find that they are embodied most intensely in the phenomenon of life. We conclude in these pages that any scientific theory that claims to be complete must include life.

Geotextiles, a group of high-performance materials, have grown during the last decades into needful auxiliaries when it comes to infrastructure, soil, construction, agriculture and environmental applications. Although geotextiles made of synthetic fibers (geosynthetics) are considered a modern achievement, the basic concept dates back to ancient times when textiles consisting of locally available natural fibers were employed to increase the stability of roads and soils. In recent decades, considering the growing interest in environmental protection and sustainable development based on using renewable resources and the recovery and recycling of waste of various origins, the use of natural fibers-based geotextiles is a viable alternative, despite their limited-life service owing to their biodegradability. In addition to this feature, their low cost, good mechanical properties and large-scale accessibility recommend them for geo-engineering applications, environmental sensitive applications in geotechnical engineering, such as land improvements and soil erosion control. This paper focuses on geotextiles as a versatile tool in environmental applications given their high theoretic and practical relevance as substantiated by recent literature reports. Natural and synthetic geotextiles are presented herein, as well as their features that recommend them for geo-engineering. Insights on the main types of applications of geotextiles are also included, along with a wide variety of materials employed to perform specific functions.

Haryana has been blessed abundantly with Stones and limestone reserves. Stone mining is carried out at both large- and small-scale levels. Some of the environmental implications of stone mining are loss of forest land, erosion of soil, degradation in agriculture, reduction in biodiversity, and instability of rock masses. In this paper, we have reviewed the environmental implications in one of the villages of Mewat, Ghatashamshabad, Haryana. Results on the impacts of stone mining on health and environment are summarized and discussed.
