Abstract: There is provided a method for deriving a value for a first syntax element, Syntax_A. The method comprises determining whether Syntax_A is present in a bitstream. The method comprises, as a result of determining that Syntax_A is not present in the bitstream, deriving the value for Syntax_A to be equal to a first value, B, if a first condition is satisfied, or deriving the value for Syntax_A to be equal to a second value, C, if a second condition is satisfied.

Abstract: There is provided a method for the synthesis of nitrogen oxides (NOx) comprising the steps of providing a gas mixture comprising oxygen and nitrogen; and heating the gas mixture to a temperature of at least 2300 K at a pressure of 10-100 bar in a thermal reactor forming a gas mixture comprising NOx. There is also provided a method for the production of HNO3.

Abstract: A high quality animal feed stuff is produced by thermal dewatering of liquid stillage obtained from fermentation of grain raw material and distillation of the fermentation product. The liquid stillage is mixed with particles of already dewatered product and the mixture is granulated in a granulation device to form essentially spherical granules with a dry substance content of 50-70% by weight, the major part of the granules having a particle diameter in the range of 2-6 mm, whereafter the granules are dried by being conveyed as a porous bed in a controlled path in contact with hot gas of a temperature less than 100.degree. C., and whereafter a part of the dried granules with a desired particle size are discharged and the remaining part of the granules after possible disintegration are recirculated to the granulation step.
