Abstract

The article offers the author's view on the Apple Pay mobile payment and digital wallet service from consumer electronics firm Apple Inc. as well as its deployment in Europe. She mentions a comment from "The Guardian" newspaper columnist Oliver Burkeman who pointed out his concern on its payment process. She also notes its application of near-field communications (NFC) technology and impact on mobile operators.

Abstract

Twelve European habitat types were investigated to determine the influence of the IFBB technique (integrated generation of biogas and solid fuel from biomass) on the fate of organic compounds and energy yields of semi-natural grassland biomass. Concentration of organic compounds in silage and IFBB press cake (PC), mass flows within that system and methane yields of IFBB press fluids (PF) were determined. The gross energy yield of the IFBB technique was calculated in comparison to hay combustion (HC) and whole crop digestion (WCD). The IFBB treatment increased fibre and organic matter (OM) concentrations and lowered non-fibre carbohydrates and crude protein concentrations. The PF was highly digestible irrespective of habitat types, showing mean methane yields between 312.1 and 405.0 LN CH4 kg(-1) VS. Gross energy yields for the IFBB system (9.75-30.19MWh ha(-1)) were in the range of HC, outperformed WCD and were influenced by the habitat type., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
