Abstract: The valorization of residue from industrial processes for their use as components of other materials is seen as a highly effective solution for environmental problems associated with the building industry. The manufacture ...

Abstract: mproving the initial conditions of short-range numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is one of the main goals of the meteorological community. Development of data assimilation and ensemble forecast systems is essential ...
