Abstract Approximately 50 million ton of municipal waste is generated in Pakistan per annum and most this does not reach final deposit sites. In research, Silvia gas technology for solid (MSW) steam gasification studied to produce high energy density product gas. A detailed simulation model developed with the help Aspen Plus®. Catalyst coal bottom ash along lime (CaO) as sorbent employed tar re...

Aspen has been an ecologically important, though relatively minor, component of the Lake States (Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota) forests for millennia. General Land Office records from the 1800s indicate that aspen comprised a small fraction of the region’s eastern forests, but was more extensive on the western edge.

The former has the most grasslands and is divided into seven ecoregions: Mixed Grassland, Cypress Upland, Moist Mixed Grassland, and Fescue Grassland in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan; Aspen Parkland, which extends in an arc from central Alberta and Saskatchewan southeast to southwestern Manitob...

—Widespread establishment of seedling aspen (Populus tremuloides) occurred in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) following the extensive1988 fires. Aspen stands occupy ;2% of YNP and aspen stems are intensively browsed by native ungulates. Chemical composition, especially secondary compounds, may influence levels of herbivory and, hence, survival of aspen, but concentrations of such compounds in a...
