"Objective This horizontal ERA-NET proposal is cutting across several themes in the Cooperation Programme: Theme 2 (Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology), Theme 3 (Information and Communication Technologies) and Theme 6 (Environment including Climate Change). The overall strategic objective - also beyond the time frame of the ERA-NET proposal - is a contribution to increase quality, effectiveness and efficiency of national research programmes within Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Robotics for a competitive, sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture."

Here is 10 Free and useful computer-aided design software. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a combination of computer programs and systems that allow engineers and architects to design detailed two- or three-dimensional models of physical objects, such as mechanical parts, buildings, and molecules. It specially used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional ("2D") space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional ("3D") objects. There are so many "free" CAD programs out there but only a handful are either really free or useful.

Potentiality of domestic biogas plants in China „ It was forecasted that the potentiality of domestic biogas plants is 150 millions on the basis of climate potential and social-economic potential by Some Chinese experts , that may cover of 55% of the household in rural area in China. It means that the number of biogas plants in use will meet the requirement of 20% of potentiality by 2010. „ If we consider the trend of rural economy developing in China, the potentiality should be modified based on two aspects: (1) Industrialization of animal husbandry with fast development speed；(2) the movement of traditional farmer from rural area to cities and towns. „ Approximately, the potentiality of domestic biogas plants in China is among the 80 millions mainly based on the national pig dung potential

A Novel Design for a Biogas Generator in Developing Countries by Joanna Read A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING The proposed generator is designed to produce 3.2 cubic meters of biogas per day. This is the amount of biogas necessary for the daily cooking requirements an average family of eight people, the norm in Pabal. Initial conceptual designs are outlined and analysed by the use of a design matrix. The final design is also analysed and suggestions made for further improvements.
