A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

requirements, but for salinity removal a RO step is needed.
• 800Da is an enough membrane cut-off.
• Conversion should be kept as lower as possible to optimize

Pre-treatment of biogas before entering the SOFC is validated.
On 01.12, the first characterization of the biogas in WWTP Lleida was carried out before
and after being subjected to the pre-treatment (iron salts + zeolites + activated carbon), in
order to verify the performance of the proposed pre-treatment. The main results are:
• Moisture removal from 10,800 ppm to 5,000 ppm.
• No presence of siloxanes (<0.05 mg / Nm³) neither in input nor in pre-treated biogas.
• Total removal of H2S (80.3 mg/Nm³ inlet)
• Presence of ammonia, with slight concentration increase (from 8.8 to 11.4 mg / Nm³)
• No presence of VOC in the input (<0.02 mg / Nm³), but surprisingly a small concentration
in pre-treated biogas (1 mg / Nm³).
Further analyitcal determination is going to be done in 2023.

Subtask: 1.4.4 Recovery of nutrients from brewery digestates
Concentrated solar pilot plant for sludge treatment
• Monitoring of:
- Temperature
- Moisture (for drying evaluation)
- Volatile matter (for hydrolysis evaluation & carbonization)
- E. Coli, Samonella ssp., Clostridium perfringens (for disinfection
evaluation), contrasting with EC draft.
• Evaluation of results:
- Monitored variables at different set temperatures will be contrasted
with models
• Mode:
- Batch tests proof of concept
- Development & test of a continuous system
