Study of Coke-oven Gas Desulphurization and Methods to Improve Sulphur Quality
Abstract: The coke-oven gas has high calorific value and can be used for the burning process. The coke-oven gas coming out from the coke-oven department contains impurities like Sulphur, Ammonia, Tar, and Naphthalene. Sulphur is the major impurity; it is very harmful and poisonous to the environment. So the removal of sulphur plays an important role in the purification of coke-oven gas. The sulphur extraction can be done by absorption using …

The Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to Disperse Fog and Improve Visibility
Abstract: Ground and aerial movements may be restricted at an airport due to limited visibility caused by fog. Both of these could result in poorer throughput because of the safety considerations associated with tasks that have low visibility. As a result of the vastly increased number of aircraft that are now capable of landing and taking off in situations with extremely low surface visibility, the ultimate capacity limit may on occasion …

Non-parametric Survival Techniques with Improved Weight
Abstract: Generally, in most of the studies all the subjects could not attain the event of interest within the time period, which results in censoring, also sometimes leads to the situation of heavy censoring. In the case of heavy censoring, the conventional Kaplan-Meier estimator overestimates the survival function. To overcome this, a new weight is designed by accounting the length of the survival time and censoring rate for each time interval …
