Deoxygenation of pyrolysis vapour derived from durian shell using catalysts prepared from industrial wastes rich in Ca, Fe, Si and Al by Tan, Y.L.

“…Besides that, AS-EAF showed good deoxygenation performance with highest selectivity of hydrocarbons at 500 °C and AS-EAF/durian shell ratio of 2:30. Catalytic fast pyrolysis of durian shell using waste-derived catalysts is an effective waste management strategy as the bio-oil produced can be a potential alternative source of energy or chemical feedstocks.…”

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF USING HYDROGEN AS AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL FOR AN INDUSTRIAL BURNER by QAZAK, ABDUL HAFIZ

“…The highest flame stability is recorded at 24% oxygen, but the flame stability decreases when the oxygen rate increases to 28%. Also, combustion stability improves when hydrogen is added to fuel mixtures and improves when oxygen enrichment is 24% in contrast to oxygen enrichment of 26% as well as adding carbon dioxide which causes a reduction in combustion stability. …”

Joint coding for proactive caching with changing file popularities by Amir M.

“…We show that proactively and constantly updating the MU finite caches and jointly encoding the delivery of different demanded files to the MUs over different time slots minimize the delivery sum rate. We propose two different schemes for a two different scenarios, where the file popularities over time can be either arbitrary increasing or decreasing for the first scheme and decreases with demand for the second scheme. …”

Plant growth, metabolism and adaptation in relation to stress conditions. Vii. Respiration, nitrogen and proline contents in french bean and maize plants as influenced by salinity by Younis, M. E. [محمود الباز يونس]

“…Thus, whereas proline as well as amino- and total soluble -N contents increased, contents of protein- and total -N decreased; the magnitude of these changes appeared to be a function of the concentration of Na2S04 used. …”
