The construction of industrial projects involves fabricating and installing massive quantities of pipelines. The design data of pipelines is complex, usually unique for each project and not easily available to researchers and the public for confidentiality reasons. As a result, an industrial pipelines data generator able to realistically simulate pipelines structures will lessen the dependence on real-life data.

Spatial and temporal temperature variations exist in a compost pile. This study demonstrates that systematic temperature sampling of a compost pile, as is widely done, tends to underestimate these variations, which in turn may lead to false conclusions about the sanitary condition of the final product. To address these variations, a proper scheme of temperature sampling needs to be used.

In a previous work, a new Gauss quadrature was introduced with a view to evaluate multicenter integrals over Slater-type functions efficiently. The complexity analysis of the new approach, carried out using the three-center nuclear integral as a case study, has shown that for low-order polynomials its efficiency is comparable to the SD. The latter was developed in connection with multi-center integrals evaluated by means of the Fourier transform of B functions.
