Heterogenic solid biofuel sampling methodology and uncertainty associated with prompt analysis.

International journal of molecular sciences

Pazó JA, Granada E, Saavedra A, Patiño D, Collazo J.
PMID: 20559506
Int J Mol Sci. 2010 May 11;11(5):2118-33. doi: 10.3390/ijms11052118.

Accurate determination of the properties of biomass is of particular interest in studies on biomass combustion or cofiring. The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology for prompt analysis of heterogeneous solid fuels with an acceptable degree...

What next after determinism in the ontology of technology? Distributing responsibility in the biofuel debate.

Science and engineering ethics

Boucher P.
PMID: 20521173
Sci Eng Ethics. 2011 Sep;17(3):525-38. doi: 10.1007/s11948-010-9216-4. Epub 2010 Jun 03.

This article builds upon previous discussion of social and technical determinisms as implicit positions in the biofuel debate. To ensure these debates are balanced, it has been suggested that they should be designed to contain a variety of deterministic...
