Sediment transport in alpine rivers is responsible for numerous problems related to reservoir sedimentation, river training works and flood protection. These different subjects are often treated locally, even if they are part of a more global solid transpo ...
Various factors play a part in the energy consumption of a building : its physical properties, the equipment installed for its functioning (the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, auxiliary production of electricity or hot water), the outdoor ...
The most common energy application for biogas is on-site power generation using gas engine units. The introduction of a bottoming cycle based on Scroll expander Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology within a biogas plant is of high interest since the exce ...

In Europe, 9.3 x 10(6) t(dry weight ( dw)) of compost and digestate are produced per year. Most of this is applied to agricultural land, which can lead to considerable inputs of organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls ( PCB) and polycyclic ar ...
X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques are widely used in determining crystallographic orientations. In this paper we describe a two-step method to determine the three-dimensional orientations of ferroelectric single crystals based on an improved rotating orie ...
Among the factors of health risks in urban areas, the solid and liquid wastes worsen particularly the problems of public health in developing countries. Uncontrolled solid waste disposal sites and waste water sites constitute major sources of danger for pu ...
Compost and digestate are important recycling fertilizers and have beneficial effects on soil parameters. However, they can contain significant amounts of organic pollutants. Here, the first comprehensive data set on dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans ( PCDD/F) ...
As geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are becoming integral components of modern municipal solid waste landfill lining systems, increased interest is directed at investigating their behaviour under different environmental stresses such temperature, chemical c ...
