Two innovative control technologies for air pollution from the combustion of municipal solid waste (MSW) are discussed. The system concepts of Selective Cat­ alytic Reduction (SCR) and the Electron Beam (E­ Beam) process are presented, along with the extent of demonstrated experience. Estimated capital and op­ erating costs are calculated for each system for oper­ ation on a 1000 tons/day MSW m...

MSW solutions of the solar neutrino problem predict a seasonal dependence of the zenith angle distribution of the event rates, due to the non-zero latitude at the Super-Kamiokande site. We calculate this seasonal dependence and compare it with the expectations in the no-oscillation case as well as just-so scenario, in the light of the latest Super-Kamiokande 708-day data. The seasonal dependenc...

We discuss if one can verify the MSW effect in neutrino oscillations at a high confidence level in long-baseline experiments. We demonstrate that for long enough baselines at neutrino factories, the matter effect sensitivity is, as opposed to the mass hierarchy sensitivity, not suppressed by sin 2θ13 because it is driven by the solar oscillations in the appearance probability. Furthermore, we s...

A comparative study was conducted between exotic and local (epigeic--Eisenia fetida and anaecic--Lempito mauritii, respectively) species of earthworms for the evaluation of their efficacy in vermicomposting of municipal solid waste (MSW). Vermicomposting of MSW for 42 days resulted in significant difference between the two species in their performance measured as loss in total organic carbon, c...

Based on the basic characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW) from regional small cities in China, some optimal management principles have been put forward: regional optimization, long-term optimization, and integrated treatment/disposal optimization. According to these principles, an optimal MSW management model for regional small cities is developed and provides a useful method to manage ...

In a structure of an epitaxial film yttrium iron garnet (YIG) with crystallographic orientation (111) 11.8 μm thick and 5 nm platinum (Pt) deposited on its surface, the effect EMF generation in during propagation magnetostatic waves (MSW) was studied at values tangential constant magnetic field H less than saturation H_s~65 Oe YIG film. The experiments were performed geometry where parallel to ...

Minnesota's municipal solid waste has grown much faster than its population since the state began measuring waste generation in 1991. It is not clear where the growth in solid waste is coming from, whether it is residential, commercial, or a combination. It is essential to learn where, and why the waste is growing in order to develop effective public policies for addressing this problem. This p...
