Pyrolysis Technologies
Biomass-based solutions have been discussed as having the potential to replace fossil-based solutions in the iron and steel industry. To produce the biocarbon required in these processes, thermochemical treatment, pyrolysis, typically takes place. There are various ways to produce biocarbon, alongside other products, which are called pyrolysis oil and pyrolysis gas. These conversion methods can be divided into conventional and non-conventional methods.

Implanted Antennas for Wireless Biomedical Devices
Wireless implantable biomedical devices (IBDs) are emerging technologies used to enhance patient treatment and monitoring. The performance of wireless IBDs mainly relies on their antennas. Concerns have emerged regarding the potential of wireless IBDs to unintentionally cause tissue heating, leading to potential harm to surrounding tissue. The previous literature examined temperature estimations and specific absorption rates (SAR) related to IBDs, mainly within the context of thermal therapy applications. Often, these studies consider system parameters such as frequency, input power, and treatment duration without isolating their individual impacts.

Carbon Storage in Oil and Gas Industry
As a rapidly evolving technology, carbon capture and storage (CCS) can potentially lower the levels of greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas industry. A comprehensive review of different aspects of CCS technology is presented herein, including its key components, the methods and stages of carbon storage, implied environmental effects, and its pros and cons. It also investigates the utilization of CCS as an alternative method to water injection into oil reservoirs. It also probes the technical and operational challenges of implementing CCS technology in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, it examines the regulatory and policy issues associated with CCS, including incentives and frameworks for promoting the deployment of CCS technology. Finally, the potential benefits of CCS are discussed, including reducing the carbon footprint of the oil and gas industry, enhancing energy security, and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.

UAVs and Mobile Devices for Pasture Management
The quantification of forage availability in tropical grasses is generally done in a destructive and time-consuming manner, involving cutting, weighing, and waiting for drying. To expedite this process, non-destructive methods can be used, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with high-definition cameras, mobile device images, and the use of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI).

Composites Reinforced with Polymer Fibers
Synthetic fibers are currently the most commonly used addition to various types of composites. The main aim of the addition of polymer fibers is improving mechanical properties, in particular bending strength and reducing the propagation of micro-cracks in the material. Depending on the type of fiber used, other benefits could be achieved, for example, increasing fire resistance, a decreasing thermal conductivity coefficient, or other features desirable for a particular application such as decreasing weight of the composites. The disadvantage of the polymer fiber could be used as raw material mainly not renewable resources. These kinds of fiber are usually obtained from limited resources such as crude oil, however, modern technologies allow also extract plastics from renewable raw materials—bio-based polymers. As the raw material, starch or bio-succinic acid are commonly used.

Passive Auto-Tactile Heuristic Tiles
Mobile service robots often have to work in dynamic and cluttered environments. Multiple safety hazards exist for robots in such work environments, which visual sensors may not detect in time before collisions or robotic damage. An alternative hazard alert system using tactile methods is explored to pre-emptively convey surrounding spatial information to robots working in complex environments or under poor lighting conditions.
