Evaluating the Use of Pyrolyzed Agricultural Residue in Coal Blend for Cokemaking
The steel sector faces a significant challenge in decarbonizing its processes. It is not an easy task since 70% of steel production comes from the Blast Furnace/BOF route using coke as the main reducer, fuel f...

Why Big Bang is so Accepted and Popular: Some Contributions of a Thematic Analysis
Some important and decisive observations allowed a widespread and almost unquestionable acceptance of the big bang cosmology, but we can admit and search other factors that have contributed and continue to con...

Data Type Inference for Logic Programming
In this paper we present a new static data type inference algorithm for logic programming. Without the need for declaring types for predicates, our algorithm is able to automatically assign types to predicates...

Big Bang, an Idea Projected Beyond Cosmology: The Possible Contribution of Thematic Analysis to the Understanding of This Success
The big bang idea is not only a dominant idea in cosmology but also a very successfully idea out of cosmology. Although sometimes just in metaphorical sense, the big bang idea is present, since some decades, i...
