Temporary city between emergency and recovery by Roberto Ruggiero

“…The housing emergency resulting from earthquakes or other natural disasters generally finds an initial response in temporary structures such as prefabricated houses and/or containers. The chronicles of recent and less recent disastrous events show how such structures – inadequate to implement an acceptable living quality, thought and designed as ‘emergency’ solutions – remain in place for a long time, which can also occupy the space of some decades, waiting for the reconstruction. …”

A Novel Study of Methane-Rich Gas Reforming to Syngas and Its Kinetics over Semicoke Catalyst by Guojie Zhang, Aiting Su, Jiangwen Qu, Yannian Du

“…The addition of water vapor can enhance the catalytic activity of reforming, which is due to the fact that addition of water vapor not only removes carbon deposit produced in the reforming and gasification reaction processes, but also participates in gasification reaction with semicoke to generate some active oxygen-containing functional groups. The active oxygen-containing functional groups provide active sites for carbon dioxide reforming of methane, promoting the reforming reaction. …”
