Accounting of SO2 Emissions from Combustion in Industrial Boilers
Abstract Combustion in industrial boilers has become a major source of acid rain pollution due to the huge emissions of SO2. This study builds the accounting framework of SO2 emissions from combustion in industrial boilers and set up a high...

Increasing the Work Scope of Conveyor Transport at Mining Companies
Abstract This paper substantiates application of pit conveyors at the stages of pit rework and underground mining beyond-edge reserves. Heavy pit lift transport is not efficient under conditions of the low enterprise output capacity. Thus, variants...

A sub-field scale critical source area index for legacy phosphorus management using high resolution data
Abstract Diffuse phosphorus (P) mitigation in agricultural catchments should be targeted at critical source areas (CSAs) that consider source and transport factors. However, development of CSA identification needs to consider the mobilisation...

Reconstructing nutrient criteria for source water areas using reference conditions
Abstract Nutrient concentrations are of concern in most watershed areas that serve as source water for public drinking water due to the high cost of nutrient removal treatment. Yet all nutrients criteria for source watersheds in Taiwan are identical ...

Geomechanical analysis of the influence of CO2 injection location on fault stability
Abstract Large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) should be injected in deep saline formations to mitigate climate change, implying geomechanical challenges that require further understanding. Pressure build-up induced by CO2 injection will decrease...

A method to implement the reservoir-wave hypothesis using phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract The reservoir-wave hypothesis states that the blood pressure waveform can be usefully divided into a “reservoir pressure” related to the global compliance and resistance of the arterial system, and an “excess pressure” that depends on local ...

Predicting Aspergillus fumigatus exposure from composting facilities using a dispersion model: A conditional calibration and validation
Abstract Bioaerosols are released in elevated quantities from composting facilities and are associated with negative health effects, although dose-response relationships are unclear. Exposure levels are difficult to quantify as established sampling...

Geochemistry and zircon U-Pb geochronology of the rhyolitic tuff on Port Island, Hong Kong: Implications for early Cretaceous tectonic setting
Abstract Early Cretaceous rhyolitic tuffs, widely distributed on Port Island, provide insights into the volcanism and tectonic setting of Hong Kong. In this paper we present petrological, geochronological and geochemical data of the rhyolitic tuff...

Remediation of Mud Pumping on a Ballasted Railway Track
Abstract Maintenance of ballasted railway tracks is a major cost for railway infrastructure owners. In many developed countries, much of the railway infrastructure is mature and was built for service requirements long since superseded. The increased ...

Tibetan Plateau Geladaindong black carbon ice core record (1843–1982): Recent increases due to higher emissions and lower snow accumulation
Abstract Black carbon (BC) deposited on snow and glacier surfaces can reduce albedo and lead to accelerated melt. An ice core recovered from Guoqu glacier on Mt. Geladaindong and analyzed using a Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) provides the...
