Press Mud as a Substitute to Soil

from MUDs as SPACE to as a MUD

As clear as MUD

Somewhat contrary to popular perception, it is both very and increasingly common for people to have medically unexplainable symptoms; this is also referred to as ‘medically unexplained disease’ or MUD. The basis of MUD is ‘symptoms’ that cannot be fully explained by an ‘organic’ cause. Managing patients with such a condition is a challenge for physicians, as most people present with a high leve...

Using Scrap Tires in EAFs as a Substitute for Carbon

EAF plants normally consume coal and coke as reactants, alloying elements, or fuel. The price of these materials varies from € 0.20-0.35/kg. This is while nearly 10 million pieces of tires are annually discarded in Iran. The present study shows that scrap tires can be used as a substitute for coal and coke in EAF plants. Thirteen grades of steel including low, medium, and high carbon steels as ...

Thermo-alkaline pre-treatment to solubilise and improve biodegradability of press mud

Thermo-chemical pre-treatment improves the solubilization of the lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, it could improve biogas production from press mud, the solid residue from sugar cane juice filtration which contains up to 85 % insoluble organic matter. The impact of thermo-alkaline pretreatment conditions (100 o C, Ca(OH)2) on press mud was investigated for different times and concentrations,...

FIFO segmentation as a substitute to linked lists

We present a technique for dynamic allocation of memory to different queues. Our approach lies between two well-known techniques, linked lists and the relocation of data for preserving reasonable contiguous areas of available memory space. However, we avoid the main drawbacks of both. We never allocate more than two segments of contiguous memory per flow and thus avoid the proliferation of poin...
