The calcium-looping (CaL) process comprises an endothermic calcination reaction, where CaO and CO2 are generated from CaCO3, its reverse exothermic carbonation reaction. CaL is promising for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in concentrating solar power plants. CaL-TCES includes: a calciner transformed into energy; carbonator the stored released; turbines electrical generation; tanks reaction products stored. In this work, simulated optimized using gPROMS Process. innovation lies...
Stress can impact multiple psychological and physiological human domains. In order to better understand the effect of stress on cognitive performance, whether this is related an autonomic response stress, Trier Social Test (TSST) was used as a testing platform along with 2-Choice Reaction Time Task. When considering nature importance Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) work fact that they are subjected high levels study conducted sample ATCs (n = 11). Linear Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features...
This work addresses the multiobjective design of complex reactive distillation columns through use feasible regions. A cost indicator reflecting energy usage and column size is introduced used to build Pareto surface describing optimal combinations performance. The study includes superheated subcooled feed streams searches for distribution feeds catalyst inside column. technique first illustrated a base case system with ideal vapor−liquid equilibrium then two variants different volatilities...
In line with the growing environmental awareness developed along last decades, modern societies are urged to evolve into sustainable economics where reuse of organic wastes represents key feedstock for a green transaction. The oil phase obtained from different biomasses has potential be source food supplements, medicines, cosmetics, or biofuel production. present work, composition 104 including seeds, peels, flowers, plants, and leaves been reviewed lipid content. Based on most frequent...
Sustainable development is essential to ensure that future generations enjoy the same or better standard of living as today's society. Clean energy will play an important role in this. Concentrated solar power one cleanest ways harness and convert it into useable like electricity. However, due intermittent nature production, concentrated needs be coupled with storage ability produce release electricity during peak demand periods. Calcium looping for thermochemical emerging technology uses...
Abstract Current economic and environmental pressure encourages companies to invest reform processes in a sustainable way. However, the decision on best investment given industry may not be as straightforward by independent indicators. Analyzing such indicators for process alternatives is complex multi-objective decision-making process. Many methods can help solve problems, GREENSCOPE suggests using Addictive Utility Method, which have some shortcomings. In this work, Analytic Hierarchy...
Renal arcuate vein thrombosis (RAVT) is a rare and recently recognized cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in young adults. However, the precise incidence underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to AKI these patients remain elusive.This study included all who underwent biopsy over 40-month period sent pathology department Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, with evidence RAVT. We performed coagulation tests, genetic testing for thrombophilia, complete urine toxicologic screening...
Background: Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a complex and demanding process, exposing Controllers (ATCs) to high stress. Recently, efforts have been made in ATC maintain safety efficiency the face of increasing air traffic demands. Computer simulations useful tool for training, improving ATCs skills consequently safety. Objectives: This study aims to: a) evaluate psychophysiological indices stress an simulation environment using wearable biomonitoring platform. In order obtain measure levels,...
A cost indicator for the design and multi-objective optimization of reactive distillation columns, designated capacity, was introduced in previous work by authors. The question this indicator's effectiveness as a measure actual column is herein investigated over number designs comparing it with value obtained means conventional costing procedures. results show that level accuracy when using capacity satisfactory certainly acceptable preliminary stage. However, present further refinement...
In arterial hypertension, increased Th17 cells and reduced Tregs are the hallmarks of immunological dysfunction basis for investigation immunomodulatory drugs. Although cholecalciferol is not a primary immunomodulator, it has recognized action on immune cells, leading us to hypothesise if can induce more tolerogenic phenotype in obese hypertensives. phase-2, single-centre, randomised, open, 24-week trial, we assigned adults with obesity-associated hypertension vitamin D deficiency receive...
Abstract Current economic and environmental pressure encourages companies to invest reform processes in a sustainable way. However, the decision on best investment given industry may not be as straightforward by independent indicators. Analyzing such indicators for process alternatives is complex multiobjective making (MODM) process. Many MODM methods can help solve this problem, GREENSCOPE suggests using Addictive Utility Method (AUM), which have some shortcomings. In work, Analytic...
The present paper examines the performance of cubic equations state (CEoSs) and semi-empirical density-based models in correlating solubility supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) several solid compounds interest to food industry, namely 2-propenamide, bixin, β-carotene C-tetramethylcalix[4]resorcinarene. four target solutes are with increasing structural complexity and, typically pure solids, at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures.
