Product Information

Shannon-Wiener diversity index can measure the level of species diversity [ 30]. The energy system also plays an important role in the development of human society, and it is also applied to diversity concept, because it is the key driving force and material basis for promoting economic and social development. Therefore, it is appropriate to introduce the concept of diversity into the energy system [ 31], including energy supply diversity, energy consumption diversity, and energy import diversity [ 20]. Among them, the energy consumption structure diversity is particularly reflected in the energy end-use consumption which heavily impacts energy efficiency and carbon emissions [ 32]. From an environmental point of view, it is reported that if biomass pellets are used instead of coal for power generation, CO 2 emissions will be reduced by 205Mt annually ( Purohit and Chaturvedi, 2018). Sikkema et al. (2011) reported that through the consumption of 8.2 million tons of wood pellets, 12.6 million tons of CO 2 emissions were avoided in all EU countries in 2008. We now understand there to be two main forms of energy: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is possessed by objects due to their motion, while potential energy is possessed by objects due to their relative position or configuration. All other forms of energy, such as thermal, electromagnetic, solar, chemical, gravitational, atomic, and so on are in themselves forms of either kinetic or potential energy ( Duncan, 2002; Smil, 2008). Much can be said about kinetic and potential energy, including the fact that they are causally efficacious, that is, they cause real change and activity in the material world 7. But I want to draw attention here to the fact that they are both manifestations of difference. Kinetic energy is difference as motion or change; potential energy is difference as tension or antagonism. Neither kinetic nor potential energy inhere absolutely in objects but are relational properties; motion or change occurs relative to a frame of reference, and tension or antagonism occurs between one object, or force, and another. The concept of difference then is of utmost importance when considering the nature of energy and the related properties of force and work 8. Actualized Difference

In discussions of the nature and behavior of forces at the microscopic level we often find references to the way they ‘feel’ ( Feynman, 1963 ), or the way they ‘experience’ each other in fields ( Rennie, 2015 ). It would be interesting to investigate what motivates the use of such terms in this context. Information in the biological context is best understood as a measure of the way energetic activity is organized, that is, its complexity or degree of differentiation and integration. Information theoretic techniques provide powerful tools for measuring, modeling, and mapping the organization of energetic processes, but we should not confuse the map with the territory. Province International Collaboration Lab of Forest Resources Utilization, School of Forestry, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou, China Despite these promising results, power plants relying on forest biomass pellets also face several problems such as high energy consumption, labor-intensive process, higher prices than other solid biofuels, need for higher storage space in comparison with oil, need for ash removal, and susceptibility of pellets to moisture exposure ( Abdoli et al., 2018).

Meanwhile, it is somewhat surprising to find that energy use during non-rapid eye movement sleep remains at ∼85% of that in the waking state, while during rapid eye movement sleep it can be as high as in the waking state ( Dinuzzo and Nedergaard, 2017). At the same time, consciousness can be minimally sustained with energy use at only 42% of the level that occurs in healthy conscious individuals, suggesting that much cerebral metabolic activity in normal waking states does not directly contribute to consciousness ( Stender et al., 2016). Many anesthetic agents are thought to obliterate consciousness because they reduce the global rate of cerebral metabolism ( Hudetz, 2012). Administering ketamine, on the other hand, increases brain metabolism yet can still lead to loss of responsiveness ( Pai and Heining, 2007). Overall, it seems we find no clear correlation between the total amount of energy used by the brain, or the location where the energy is used, and the level of consciousness detectable in the person. Consciousness and the Organization of Energetic Processing in the Brain Neuroanthropologist Terence Deacon defines energy as a “relationship of difference” ( Deacon, 2013 ). Note that energy is difference, but not all differences are energy; red is a color, not all colors are red. Dougall T, Dodd J C. A study of species richness and diversity in seed banks and its use for the environmental mitigation of a proposed holiday village development in a coniferized woodland in south east England. Biodiversity & Conservation. 1997;6(10):1413–1428. iv)The energy consumption structure diversity in Shaanxi is negatively correlated with energy efficiency. Shaanxi H index is negatively correlated with total factor energy utilization efficiency in Shaanxi, and for every 1% increase in Shaanxi H index, total factor energy utilization efficiency decreases by 0.044%, indicating that with the improvement of the energy consumption structure diversity in Shaanxi, total factor energy utilization efficiency declines. The internal proportion of the energy consumption structure has constantly optimized with more and more investment, which leads to decline in total factor energy efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the improvement of total factor energy utilization efficiency while improving the energy consumption structure, so as to promote the GDP. The proportion of coal is negatively correlated with total factor energy utilization efficiency in Shaanxi, and for every 1% increase in coal proportion, total factor energy utilization efficiency decreases by 0.133%, indicating that with the increase in the proportion of coal consumption in total energy consumption in Shaanxi, total factor energy Utilization efficiency declines. High proportion of coal consumption will affect the improvement of total factor energy utilization efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve total factor energy utilization efficiency and gradually reduce the proportion of coal consumption.
