The paper presents the results of research aimed at evaluating possibility using selected biomass wastes to produce solid biofuels. In this work, thermochemical properties two lignocellulosic biomasses, namely, miscantshus (Miscanthus × Giganteus) and hops (Humulus lupulus), non-lignocellulosic biomass, municipal waste, their mixtures (micanthus + waste waste) were studied torrefaction process ...

This study employs a mixed-method quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design to investigate the mediatory effects of culture-based teaching materials employing three types techniques, namely cultural awareness, critical incident and misunderstanding, in fostering intercultural competence (IC) development group Tunisian higher education EFL students. A pedagogical intervention was implemented ev...

We study wave propagation in mixed, 1D disordered stacks of alternating right- and left-handed layers and reveal that the introduction of metamaterials substantially suppresses Anderson localization. At long wavelengths, the localization length in mixed stacks is orders of magnitude larger than for normal structures, proportional to the sixth power of the wavelength, in contrast to the usual qu...

Prof Angeli recently discovered another synthesis of the same compound and was kind enough to inform me by letter[2] and allow their use at this point: benzilic acid condenses after merging with symmetrical dimethylurea to lose two water molecules and gives the same expected products (shown to me and sent in a sample). Crystal form, melting point and mixed melting point were identical. From the...

this is a comprehensive review of the recent progresses made in the field of zeolite membranes. it describes zeolitic materials and methods of membrane fabrication, followed by a summary of applications for gas separation, pervaporation and separation of liquid mixtures. special attention is called to polymer mixed matrix membranes (mmms) and membranes based on metal organic frame works (mofs)....

Future reactors, e.g., ITER can require multiple plasma facing components (PFC) surfaces such as Be, C and W. Soon after the start of normal operation as well as after plasma transient events the surfaces can behave much differently than the original surfaces, and transport of eroded particles can influence plasma performance and component lifetime. A new dynamic version of ITMC-DYN, part of th...
