An evaluation of the environmental performance of clinker production using sewage sludge as alternative fuel has been conducted.To this end, the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology has been applied to estimate the main environmental impacts in four different scenarios considering conventional combustion with petroleum coke, the replacement of f
In this paper, a new model of magnetically levitated (Maglev) vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) is presented for power generation purposes.The rotor is suspended by two permanent magnet attractive type passive magnetic bearings and one control coil; it is possible to rotate the rotor without any mechanical Rocks contact.The proposed model solves
According to Shaw (1973) and McKinnon (1973), the most important element of economic development is financial liberalization.This action will eliminate the distortion, as what the government of Indonesia did on June 1, 1983 through deregulation of banking.The government eliminated the ceiling of credit and gave a full authority to each bank to dete
Dose-volume (DV)-based objectives are widely used in most intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatment planning, because numerous DV endpoints have been utilized.In clinical practice, DV-based optimization (DVO) with uniform or random initial intensity distributions is utilized, but without considering the non-convexity of the DV objectives.To i
There is a growing need to characterize the effects of environmental stressors at Sippy Cups the molecular level on model organisms with the ever increasing number and variety of anthropogenic chemical pollutants.The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), as one of the most widely applied pesticides in the world, is one such example.This
