Rapid formation of a severe regional winter haze episode over a mega-city cluster on the North China Plain
Abstract The Nested Air Quality Prediction Model System (NAQPMS) was used to investigate an extreme regional haze episode persisting over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei megacity cluster from November 26 to December 1, 2015. During this extreme haze...

Experimental evaluation of a diesel engine fuelled by pyrolysis oils produced from low-density polyethylene and ethylene–vinyl acetate plastics
Abstract Depletion of oil resources and increase in energy demand have driven the researchers to seek ways to convert the waste products into high quality oils that could replace fossil fuels. Plastic waste is in abundance and can be converted into...

Evaluation of summertime surface ozone in Kanto area of Japan using a semi-regional model and observation
Abstract Surface ozone is an air pollutant and harmful to human life. The spatial distribution of the air pollution has been estimated by chemical transport models, but still there are large uncertainties depending on detailed condition of the...

Greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from digested and separated dairy manure during storage and after land application
Abstract Manure management at dairy production facilities, including anaerobic digestion (AD) and solid-liquid separation (SLS), has shown strong potential for the abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia (NH3) emissions. However, previous...

Comparison of three persulfate digestion methods for total phosphorus analysis and estimation of suspended sediments
Abstract As a result of impairments to fresh surface water quality due to phosphorus enrichment, substantial research effort has been put forth to quantify agricultural runoff phosphorus as related to on-field practices. While the analysis of runoff ...

Automatic method for estimation of in situ effective contact angle from X-ray micro tomography images of two-phase flow in porous media
Abstract Multiphase flow in porous media is strongly influenced by the wettability of the system, which affects the arrangement of the interfaces of different phases residing in the pores. We present a method for estimating the effective contact...
