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...

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...

Surface ozone (SOZ) can be very harmful if it exceeds the threshold limit. It can accumulate over sea and can return back to the land along with the breeze. Rural and vegetation rich areas often record elevated levels of surface ozone because of the variations in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels, wind velocity and direction. Similarly methane is also an important greenhouse gas and plays ...
