Once in a while when I want to download something off of the xPlane 11 forums, sometimes it's a rar file. This applies to the xPlane CSLs. It is quite frustrating that all of the CSL files are .rar. I could use a converter but that will only take longer and it will most likely mess up the file. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Automobiles are facing increasingly strict emissions regulations in an effort to reduce the amount of harmful air pollutants that are released into the environment. In Japan, for example, the current emissions standards for NOx and nonmethane hydrocarbons are less than 0.05 g/km. Currently, one method of reducing harmful emissions is with a high-performance, three-way catalytic (TWC) converter. This device reduces harmful nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen, oxidizes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and oxidizes unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. However, it requires the use of the rare-earth element Cerium (Ce), which is increasing in price and can suffer from supply problems. Professor Masato Machida from Kumamoto University, Japan has been researching ways to reduce the amount of Ce used in catalytic converters and even find an alternative material to replace it.

The oxygen storage capacity (OSC) was also found to improve with the addition of CeO2, which supports evidence of its oxygen gateway effect. The researchers believe that this was due to an increase in efficiency when the two oxygen-storage materials are brought together. Most importantly, however, is the TWCs ability to buffer variations in the air-to-fuel (A/F) ratio during fuel-rich and fuel-lean exhausts. For this experiment, Pd/A2O3 was used as the reference against the CeO2/MnFeOy experimental catalyst. The experimental catalyst was found to provide a pronounced buffering effect, whereas the reference catalyst had none. Furthermore, the buffering effect was found to increase as variations in the A/F frequency increased. This was considered to be due to the high oxygen release rate of CeO2 in the early stages of the experiment.

The researchers then put their new catalyst to the test in conditions that more closely resembled the real world. Using the Japanese standard JC08 (hot start) mode for gasoline engines, they developed two (reference and experimental) real-sized honeycomb catalysts and compared their performance using a four cylinder, 1339 cc, gasoline engine on a chassis dynamometer. The experimental catalyst was a 1:2 wt ratio of 1 wt% Rh-loaded CeO2/MnFeOy and 2.5 wt% Pd/A2O3, and the reference catalyst was a mixture of 1 wt% Rh/CeO2 and Pd/A2O3. The experimental catalyst used 30% less CeO2 than the reference thereby reducing the need for the rare earth metal.

The tests of the full sized catalytic converters revealed that the conversion rate of total hydrocarbons (THC) for both converters is very high and relatively consistent throughout the 20 minute test, and the reference catalyst performs slightly better overall. Conversion rates for CO and NOx vary greatly with engine speed, acceleration, and deceleration for both catalysts, and the differences between the two catalysts are very small. Despite the 30% reduction in CeO2, the experimental catalyst performed very similar to the reference catalyst.

"Our new catalyst shows great promise and we hope that we can find a way to increase performance, particularly at lower temperatures," said Professor Machida. "CeO2-ZrO2 works well for oxygen storage and release at high reaction rates, and we are currently working on creating a composite with it and the MnFeOy oxygen reservoir. We hope to be able to improve catalyst performance and reduce the amount of expensive rare earth elements used at the same time."

Both RAR and Zip are archive file formats that support data compression, which means they can do both archiving and compression. Sometimes we need to converter between the two formats. This article will show you how to convert RAR to Zip on Mac different ways.

A RAR file is an archival file created with WinRAR software. The software can be downloaded as a free trial for a certain number of days, but it needs to be purchased and registered for continued use. Opening RAR files must use WinRAR, which makes things awkward.

A Zip file is a compressed file that can be created with several software programs. It also can be created by using the built-in Archive Utility function on macOS. ZIP files can be opened with any software tool that can create ZIP files. It is not restricted to any software.

It seems the Zip archive file format is more accessible and portable than RAR. Almost every application or Mac operating system can work with .zip files, you can be safe to send a zip file to a friend, but you wouldn't want to send a RAR file to a friend unless you were sure they could use them. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary for us to convert RAR files to Zip.

Despite the name, Cisdem Unarchiver can perform both archiving and unarchiving. You can use it to efficiently change RAR to Zip or to a different archive type. It enables user to easily extract an entire archive or selected files in it. A batch mode is provided, which helps improve efficiency greatly. You can import multiple archives. The app will list all tasks in queue, and you can create or extract many archives in a sequential way.

You can use it to compress files and directories/folders to Zip, 7z and tar. Also, this RAR to Zip converter allows you to safeguard archives by password protecting them. Supporting large archives, it allows you to convert large RAR files (say, 100 MB, 200 MB or bigger) to Zip.

Step 3. Control-click the archive or selected files in it and choose Extract or Decompress. Alternatively, you can highlight files and click Extract in the toolbar. Choose a location on your Mac to save the decompressed files.

Step 4. In Cisdem Unarchiver, click iPack in the toolbar. In the iPack window, click Add and add the files you have just decompressed. Click the Compress button. In the Format field, select Compress these files into a zip file.

The user interface was never too beautiful; almost all of the effort was spent on things below the user interface (which reminds us of an iceberg, always). From the 2nd release onward, the converter contains also mapping files to assign reference flows and other elements from one format to the other. Over time, the import and export functionalities from the converter have also been implemented in openLCA, but the format converter is still available as stand-alone tool for users of other LCA software packages, such as SimaPro for example where only recently (in 2016) an ILCD format export was added.SoftwareopenLCAFormat converterAboutStatus and usageMapping filesDownloadsHistory, older documentationRelated services & projectsLCA Collaboration ServerCurrent status, usageThe latest release of the converter is version 3.1.3 from end of 2015. The converter is a Java application, its use should be straightforward. You need to have Java installed on your computer though.

To use the converter, unzip the archive if you downloaded the zip archive, or open directly the Jar file. A database subfolder with the mapping files is created. If you want to modify or overwrite the mappings, close the converter first and modify the mapping files then; making a backup of the files to be edited is recommended. Further details are explained in the format converter documentation which is available on the resources page.

If you have a recommendation for improvement, let us know. We know the converter has been used quite often, for example for creating the basis for the Chinese CLCD database. We also understand that for more uncommon tasks, the converter alone will not be able to directly provide the final result, but the result will need to be fine-tuned. Therefore, if you are working on or considering a possible major conversion task, we would be interested to know as well. We are experienced in providing smooth, efficient conversion also from and to all major LCA software systems.

Also in 2015, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission released new mapping files for the converter which have been developed in coordination with GreenDelta, and with broad input from recognised experts, specifically from ecoinvent to ILCD (xls file, 4 MB). They are included in the format converter in the latest version.

The format converter is now almost 10 years released. Our initial hope, that releasing the converter as open source will lead to additions and improvements by others, has not really materialized yet for the tool, but this may still change. For the mapping lists, some additions have been recently published by JRC of the European Commission.

To possibly support understanding of the converter, documentation regarding previous released versions of the format converter and documentation about the format conversion and its shortcomings is provided below.

Since ecoinvent 3 was not released yet at the time when the EcoSpold02 format was implemented in the converter, the EcoSpold02 converter format follows the official format specification which is different from the format as it is used now in the ecoinvent database and in the ecoeditor, see also the comment on the open source page.

The converter supported EcoSpold01,, ELCD (not ILCD, which is the predecessor), and the Swedish ISO14048/TS_IMI format. The documentation covers EcoSpold01 and ELCD. For all fields, requirement, occurrence, nomenclature and pattern, and the data type are assessed, as follows:

We have been involved in successful conversion of LCA data sets, models, and entire databases, since about ten years now. Here a list of selected services and of projects. Projects can be really small (only a few hours) to several months if specific tools need to be written for the conversion and for a later quality assurance.
