...for its “normal” interaction. Problem The main problem when designing a user interface that should be able to handle that the software keyboard comes and goes is how to resize the dialogs. Resizing may just imply adding/adjusting a scroll bar, but often some other adjustments are needed to avoid some parts...
...available and unexploited methane resources by an efficient and selective transformation into C3 hydrocarbons, particularly aiming at propylene. The breakthrough innovation is that propylene is not produced via the very energy intensive steam cracking process, but rather by the less energy demanding and more...
