A need exists for tools to improve evaluations of the economics of landfill gas recovery. A computer simulation tool is presented. It uses a spreadsheet computer program to calculate the economics for a fixed set of inputs, and a simulation program to consider variations in the inputs. The method calculates the methane generated each year, and estimates the costs and incomes associated with the recovery and sale of the gas. Base case results are presented for a city of 500,000. An uncertainty analysis for a hypothetical case is presented. The simulation results can help an analyst see the key variables affecting the economics of a project.

Abstract. Spatial interactions within a landscape may lead to large inputs of reactive nitrogen (Nr) transferred from cultivated areas and farms to oligotrophic ecosystems and induce environmental threats such as acidification, nitric pollution or eutrophication of protected areas. The paper presents a new methodology to estimate Nr fluxes at the landscape scale by taking into account spatial interactions between landscape elements. This methodology includes estimates of indirect Nr emissions due to short-range atmospheric and hydrological transfers. We used the NitroScape model which integrates processes of Nr transformation and short-range transfer in a dynamic and spatially distributed way to simulate Nr fluxes and budgets at the landscape scale. Four configurations of NitroScape were implemented by taking into account or not the atmospheric, hydrological or both pathways of Nr transfer. We simulated Nr fluxes, especially direct and indirect Nr emissions, within a test landscape including pig farms, croplands and unmanaged ecosystems. Simulation results showed the ability of NitroScape to simulate patterns of Nr emissions and recapture for each landscape element and the whole landscape. NitroScape made it possible to quantify the contribution of both atmospheric and hydrological transfers to Nr fluxes, budgets and indirect Nr emissions. For instance, indirect N2O emissions were estimated at around 21% of the total N2O emissions. They varied within the landscape according to land use, meteorological and soil conditions as well as topography. This first attempt proved that the NitroScape model is a useful tool to estimate the effect of spatial interactions on Nr fluxes and budgets as well as indirect Nr emissions within landscapes. Our approach needs to be further tested by applying NitroScape to several spatial arrangements of agro-ecosystems within the landscape and to real and larger landscapes.

In order to solve the problem of road feel feedback of vehicle steer-by-wire (SBW) system based on joystick, a road feel control strategy was established to analyze the road feel theory of traditional steer system, which included return, assist and damp control module. By verifying the computer simulation results with the control strategy from software of CarSim and Matlab/Simulink, it shows that the proposed strategy can effective get road feel in different vehicle speed conditions and could improve the vehicle maneuverability to achieve desired steering feel by different drivers.

ABSTRACTDissociation of the ao<110> screw dislocation in Ni3Al was studied using the embedded atom method of computer simulation. The dissociation occurred predominantly along the {111} plane, however, a {001}-plane step occurred in the APB at the center of the configuration. When a pair of ao/2<110> superpartials initially separated in the {111} plane was relaxed, the step formed once again but with a reduced height. When the pair was relaxed from larger distances the step was not formed. The results indicate that the elastic interaction “torque” due to elastic anisotropy is responsible for the formation of the {001} APB step. When a stress was applied to these dislocation configurations by simulation, results confirmed that the step in the APB and the octahedral cross-slipped-core dissociations can be significant barriers to glide of the screw dislocation.

This work studies the aggregation of an synthetic ultraviolet absorbent, named 2-hydroxy-4-perfluoroheptanoate-benzophenone (HPFHBP), in the interface between two solvents which can not completely dissolve each other. The aggregation is studied by computer simulations based on a dynamic density functional method and mean-field interactions, which are implemented in the MesoDyn module and Blend module of Material Studios. The simulation results show that the synthetic ultraviolet absorbent diffuse to the interface phase and the concentration in the interface phase is greater than it in the solvents phase.
