The Pescara free-piston engine has been developed in France during the last twenty years, and the paper gives a description of a portable air compressor which has been proved in commercial work, and is now in production. An explanation is given of those characteristics in which this engine differs from the orthodox engine-driven crankshaft compressor. The power unit is an opposed-piston two-stroke compression-ignition engine, the compressor piston being directly attached to one of the engine pistons, while the cushion piston is directly attached to the other. The cushion piston gives stability, ensures that the energy available for the return stroke is constant for any conditions of operation, and thus gives a constant compression pressure in the combustion cylinder. The velocity characteristics of the pistons during the inward and outward strokes are described with their effect on the compressor and other sections. The fuel injection gear and also an alternative scheme is described; and indicator diagrams show the results obtained. The output of the compressor is controlled by the governor; the governor controls the fuel injected and thus determines the stroke of the pistons and thereby the quantity of air delivered. The efficiency of the combustion section is given, with the specific fuel consumption loop of the compressor as a whole. Methods of starting, by use of a spring or compressed air, are given to illustrate the characteristics dealt with. The development of the free-piston compressor has led to the development of the power gas-generator, in which the combination of free-piston compressor and turbine forms a new type of prime mover.

The Forensic Unit of the Alberta Hospital Edmonton has moved from evaluating the performance of a client in a work setting by observation to providing a comprehensive data base on the client through the use of a work history, interest screening and commercial work evaluation systems. A standardized approach, to evaluation has enabled the Occupational Therapists to develop a unique treatment programme for the individual client as a result of the evaluation process and provided reliable data in returning the client to competitive employment.

Consumer neuroscience is a quickly growing discipline that harnesses both theoretical principles and applied measures from the decision and affective neurosciences, along with psychophysiology and vision research, in order to explain and predict consumption behaviors. This discipline links several subfields, including neuroeconomics, social and affective neuroscience, and neuromarketing. This emerging field comprises both direct and peripheral measures of neural processing related to consumption behaviors. Consumer neuroscience complements traditional commercial research measures such as self-report, which can often be inaccurate and biased by anticipated or recalled, but not actual, consumption behaviors. All told, consumer neuroscience represents a unique field focusing on the consumer and the innumerable factors that affect individual preferences and consumption behavior. This chapter will provide a comprehensive overview of the field's history, key measures used, case examples of academic and commercial work, and a discussion of the field's continued bright trajectory.

The article deals with the very topical issues of the use of spot ship’s space booking and the dynamic adjustment of ocean freight, according to the demand and availability of cargo space on container ships. Container lines are facing the challenges of filling the growing container ships, which also raises the difficulty of managing the overbooking. Two research hypothesis; that (H1) freight forwarders have concerns about a new spot booking mode and a dynamic way of formulating ocean rates; and that (H2) freight forwarders feel threatened by Container Lines (CL) to some extent to phase them out from the organization of intermodal transport chains due to the introduction of larger ships and the risk of low space occupation, are followed by the research. A survey between freight forwarders and NVOCCs (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) on a global scale provides guidelines for the further development of CL model for the booking process and the formation of ocean rates because the results expose how new ways of working have a greater impact on the operational and commercial work between CL, freight forwarders and NVOCCs. According to the obtained result, the article proposes a three-step approach to be developed by CL that would bring freight forwarders and NVOCCs closer to a new way of working, reduce business risks, and, as a result, provide leverage to achieve ship space optimization and lower space pressure on container terminals. The study provides new understandings in building new operational models for efficient maritime logistics and brings novelty to the scientific community by defining descriptive gaps in changing strategic and operational approach for ship’s cargo space optimization.

<p><em>Business Superblock in North Jakarta motivated by the potential and high economic attractiveness of Jakarta but not matched with good urban planning so that Jakarta is not ready to accept urbanization and has residential and transportation issues. The objective of this scheme is to get the design of superblock area is able to accommodate business and commercial activities, supported by residential facilities and access to public transportation. The method used is a method of planning and architectural design through an approach that is taken from the book of David Owen: Green Metropolis : Why Living Smaller, Living Closer, and Driving Less are the keys to sustainability.</em> <em>Design issues to be resolved are: the selection and processing footprint suitable for the needs of a superblock, and can support both business and commercial activity as main activity, as well as residential and recreational activities as secondary activities. The results are a design of superblock area is able to accommodate business activities and commercial (work), residential, and recreation with the support of public transportation access with the Green Metropolis approach.</em></p><p> </p><p align="center"><strong><em>K</em></strong><strong><em>eywords</em></strong><em>: Business Superblock, Green Metropolis, Business and Commercial, Mix-Used.</em></p>
