Genuinely multi-dimensional explicit and implicit generalized Shapiro filters for weather forecasting, computational fluid dynamics and aeroacoustics
Abstract This paper addresses the extension of one-dimensional filters in two and three space dimensions. A new multi-dimensional extension is proposed for explicit and implicit generalized Shapiro filters. We introduce a definition of explicit and...

Using solar-powered refrigeration for vaccine storage where other sources of reliable electricity are inadequate or costly
Abstract Large areas of many developing countries have no grid electricity. This is a serious challenge that threatens the continuity of the vaccine cold chain. The main alternatives to electrically powered refrigerators available for many...

Health risk from fluoride exposure of a population in selected areas of Tamil Nadu South India
Abstract Prevalence of fluorosis is a public health problem in many states of India. It is necessary to find out the different sources through which fluoride enters human metabolism. Only when the sources are identified, suitable remedial measures...

Fifty-year Amundsen–Scott South Pole station surface climatology
Abstract Fifty-four years of Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station meteorological data have been analyzed to develop a comprehensive climatology from the station's meteorological observations. In reaching the goal of a full climatological analysis, a...

Critical mid-term uncertainties in long-term decarbonisation pathways
Abstract Over the next decade, large energy investments are required in the UK to meet growing energy service demands and legally binding emission targets under a pioneering policy agenda. These are necessary despite deep mid-term (2025–2030)...

Using reservoir architecture to maximize CO2 storage capacity
Abstract This paper examines, with reservoir simulation, the impact of applying “best practices” and capitalizing on reservoir architecture to restrict CO2 plume movement and maximize reservoir storage capacity. Specifically, the paper explores the...

Model study on even diffusion of CO2 released from 30 ships in mesoscale deep ocean
Abstract Among possible carbon capture and storage methods to mitigate the global warming, the direct injection of CO2 into the deep ocean by the moving ship method, is considered to be a feasible way and expected to minimize its environmental...

Economic assessment of enhanced Coalbed Methane recovery for low rank coal system
Abstract Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery (ECBMR) is usually targeted for the bituminous coals, for the methane content in such coals is rather high and it leads to the higher profit by methane sales. Generally, methane content of low rank coals is ...

Permanent Carbon Dioxide Storage into Basalt: The CarbFix Pilot Project, Iceland
Abstract The storage of large volumes of industrial CO2 emissions in deep geological formations is one of the most promising climate mitigation options. The long-term retention time and environmental safety of the CO2 storage are defined by the...
