A study was carried out into the use of preformation process to prepare biochar for replacing coke breeze in iron ore sintering. Two types of preformation process, thermo-compression process (TCP) and normal temperature process (NTP), were adopted. Results show that preformation contributed to improving the density of both raw biomass and biochar. Recommended preformation parameters for TCP wer...

We often come across sentences in our daily life containing many nouns which act as a compound noun. The interpretation of these noun compounds may be a very trivial task for us but it is of great value to one who is trying to understand the semantic meaning of any sentence. For a machine to understand the meaning of such compound nouns it should be able to understand the relation between the n...

Mesoscale models using a non-local K-scheme for parameterixation of boundary-layer processes require an estimate of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) height z, at all times. In this paper, two-dimensional sea-breeze experiments are carried out to evaluate three different formulations for the advective contribution in the zi prognostic equation of Deardorff (1974). Poor representation of the th...

Abstract Urban heat island (UHI) and sea–land-breeze systems are well-known important characteristics of the climate coastal cities. To model these, accurate estimation surface energy balance (SEB) is a key factor needed to improve local-scale simulations thermodynamic dynamic boundary circulations. The Weather Research Forecasting Model with single-layer urban canopy (WRF/SLUCM), parameters de...

Fresh Breeze is a highly parallel architecture currently under development, which strives to provide high performance scientific computing with simple programmability. The architecture provides for multithreaded determinate execution with a write-once shared memory system. In particular, Fresh Breeze data structures must be constructed from directed acyclic graphs of immutable fixed-size chunks...

The paper contains a preliminary study of the sea breeze at Thumba (08°32' N, 76° 52'E) based on observations 392 days, spread over period three years (1963-1966).
 
 Analysis hourly wind observation reveals that northeasterly or northerly land is replaced by westerly southwesterly before mid-day during October to May it also seen November April are favoured most Thumba. Southerly set...
