Inherently separated syngas production from plastic waste fast pyrolysis integrated with volatile chemical looping conversion with CO₂ splitting by Liu, Guicai, Lisak, Grzegorz

“…Three conversion modes, i.e., redox, cracking and redox-cracking mixed modes, were evaluated using different catalyst, and found that cracking mode with Ni/Al2O3 or Ni/MgAl2O4 exhibited better fuel conversion and syngas separation performance than redox and mixed modes (using Ca2Fe2O5 and Ni/Ca2Fe2O5, respectively), achieving nearly full CO-H2 separation from the syngas product. …”

All-sky, all-frequency directional search for persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s first three observing runs by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…In addition, we outline a method to identify candidate pixel-frequency pairs that could be followed up by a more sensitive (and potentially computationally expensive) search, e.g., a matched-filtering-based analysis, to look for fainter nearly monochromatic coherent signals. The ASAF analysis is inherently independent of models describing any spectral or spatial distribution of power. …”

Audio-based approaches in tuning retrieval of gamelan ensemble by Hamdan, Sinin

“…When listening to its tones in a musical environment, individual harmonics of a complex tone and partial identification may be nearly impossible to discern by the human ear. The method of temporal localization on the dominant frequency at its unique time for each tone allows for the detection of frequencies present in the signal. …”
