Two-interconnected fluidized bed systems are widely used in various processes such as Fisher-Tropsch, hot gas desulfurization, CO2 capture-regeneration with dry sorbent, chemical-looping combustion, sorption enhanced steam methane reforming, chemical-looping hydrogen generation system, and so on. However, most of two-interconnected fluidized beds systems require riser and/or pneumatic transport...

Lovecraft’s fiction, distinguished by awe-inspiring landscapes, spectacular monsters and earth-shattering events, has long enjoyed a reputation for conveying an atmosphere of dread. In tale after tale, whether set in his native New England or far-flung wilderness spaces, evocative prose aims to facilitate textual encounters with world beyond the realm known human experience. legacy, propelled d...

Traditionally, depictions and descriptions have been seen as complementary; depictions have been preferred to convey iconic or metaphorically iconic information whereas descriptions have been preferred for abstract information. Both are external representations designed to complement human memory and information processing. We have found the same underlying structure and semantics for route map...

One of humankind’s most basic needs is that of being able to communicate with other people. As wireless network connectivity becomes more prevalent, factors such as physical location and situation diminish in significance for deciding when and how such communication can take place. What happens when a user is given this freedom to utilize the network regardless of time and place? Questions that...

The hopper is a kind of important equipment in bulk handling process. In this paper, an experimental platform was designed. mainly composed feeding head, vertical conveying screw machine, horizontal and lifting device, supporting structure, the visual system,the electrical system acquisition system. particle behavior for hoppers can be assessed by platform. And will help to investigate real flo...

Outcomes-based science promises results, like a cure for cancer or new antibiotics to treat infections. Such advances are important and exciting, but, unfortunately, they cannot be delivered in a short time frame. These miracle innovations are not certainties like the next software update, so our current emphasis on outcomes-based science is bound to disappoint the public. Not delivering on our...

Interpersonal stances are expressed by non-verbal behaviors on a variety of different modalities. The perception of these behaviors is influenced by the context of the interaction, how they are sequenced with other behaviors from the same person and behaviors from other interactants. In this paper, we introduce a framework considering the expressions of stances on different layers during an int...
