The steam pyrolysis of pinewood sawdust has been conducted in a bench scale plant provided with conical spouted bed reactor (CSBR). This process is uttermost relevance for the in-line valorisation volatiles, specifically their catalytic reforming hydrogen production. influence temperature on product yields analyzed 500–800 °C range. A detailed analysis volatile stream (condensable and non-conde...

The century-old trickling filters at the Daspoort Wastewater Treatment Works in Pretoria (Gauteng, South Africa) are known for their remarkable removal of nitrogen from municipal wastewater. Our study was conducted to identify the microbiological processes responsible for this phenomenon and to establish whether anammox bacteria may be involved. An aerobic and anaerobic bench top reactor, both ...

PURPOSE Allometric modeling (AM) has been used to determine the world's strongest body mass-adjusted man. Recently, however, AM was shown to demonstrate body mass bias in elite Olympic weightlifting performance. A second order polynomial (2OP) provided a better fit than AM with no body mass bias for men and women. The purpose of this study was to apply both AM and 2OP models to women's world po...

Many circuit designs need to follow some temporal rules. However, it is hard to express and verify them in the past. Therefore, a temporal assertion extension to Verilog, called Temporal Wizard, is proposed in this paper. It provides several Verilog system tasks for the users to write assertions in testbench directly. Two new concepts, tag and thread, are also introduced so that data can be ass...
