This paper presents systematic studies of the renewabale energy [RE] technologies and focuses on thermoelectric (TE) technology. The invention of a new equipment is applied to thermoelectric modules (TEM) and demonstrates important capabilities such as in-situ characterization of I-V curve, P-V curves, and TE efficiency. Many variales are invetsigated in order to maximize the output of TE power. Experimental data show that the TE power output is scalable/ additive for multiple TE systems. Multi-stack structures are invetsigated in order to improve the TE efficiency. One of the hightlights of this paper is to generate a large output of TEPG system up to 1kW power. The TE technology is one of the most important RE technologies that has advantages of being renewable, possessing low-noise/ no-moving parts among other features, and having versatile and special applications with TEM. Several sets of the thermoelectric power generation (TEPG) systems are developed with various TEMs for many different applications. Finally, the TEPG is characterized for the experimental investigation and data analysis, followed by summaries and conclusion based on the data.

Lectin histochemistry was used to perform in situ characterization of the glycoconjugates present in boar testis and epididymis. Thirteen horseradish peroxidase- or digoxigenin-labelled lectins were used in samples obtained from healthy fertile boars. The acrosomes of the spermatids were stained intensely by lectins with affinity for galactose and N-acetyl-galactosamine residues, these being soybean, peanut and Ricinus communis agglutinins. Sertoli cells were stained selectively by Maackia ammurensis agglutinin. The lamina propria of seminiferous tubules showed the most intense staining with fucose-binding lectins. The Golgi area and the apical part of the principal cells of the epididymis were stained intensely with many lectins and their distribution was similar in the three zones of the epididymis. On the basis of lectin affinity, both testis and epididymis appear to have N- and O-linked glycoconjugates. Spermatozoa from different epididymal regions showed different expression of terminal galactose and N-acetyl-galactosamine. Sialic acid (specifically alpha2,3 neuraminic-5 acid) was probably incorporated into spermatozoa along the extratesticular ducts. These findings indicate that the development and maturation of boar spermatozoa are accompanied by changes in glycoconjugates. As some lectins stain cellular or extracellular compartments specifically, these lectins could be useful markers in histopathological evaluation of diseases of boar testis and epididymis.

In-situ characterization of the mechanical behavior of geckos spatula has been carried out in detail using multi-mode AFM system. Combining successful application of a novel AFM mode, i.e. Harmonix microscopy, the more detail elastic properties of spatula is brought to light. The results obtained show the variation of the mechanical properties on the hierarchical level of a seta, even for the different locations, pad and stalk of the spatula. A model, which has been validated using the existing experimental data and phenomena as well as theoretical predictions for geckos adhesion, crawling and self-cleaning of spatulae, is proposed in this paper. Through contrast of adhesive and craw ability of the gecko on the surfaces with different surface roughness, and measurement of the surface adhesive behaviors of Teflon, the most effective adhesion of the gecko is more dependent on the intrinsic properties of the surface which is adhered.
