Implementing surface parameter aggregation rules in the CCM3 global climate model: regional responses at the land surface by M. A. Arain, M. A. Arain, M. A. Arain, E. J. Burke, E. J. Burke, Z.-L. Yang, Z.-L. Yang, W. J. Shuttleworth, W. J. Shuttleworth

“…These two different sets of parameters were used as input data for two 10-year simulations of the NCAR CCM3 model coupled to the BATS land-surface scheme. Statistical analyses comparing the results of the two model runs showed that the resulting effects on the land-surface diagnostics are significant only in specific regions. …”

Electric Arc Furnace as a Source of Emission of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans in Perspective of the Council Directive 96/61 EC Concerning Inte... by Sofilić, T., Rastovčan-Mioč, A., Smit, Z.

“…The IPPC Directive has introduced a system of authorization (environmental permit) that needs to be obtained in order to perform business activities and run processes using the best available techniques (BAT).Taking into account the harmful impact of PCDDs/Fs on the environment, and their unavoidability in metallurgical processes, a series of methods has been developed for their partial prevention or at least reduction of their concentration in smoke gas discharge, and thus prevent environmental pollution through these very harmful compounds. …”
