Criteria for the selection of SO/sub 2/ sorbents for atmospheric pressure fluidized-bed combustors. Volume 1. Task I report: literature review, basis for selecting calcium-based sorbents. Final report

The European Commission has recently adopted the Renovation Wave Strategy, aiming at the improvement of the energy performance of buildings. The strategy aims to at least double renovation rates in the next ten years and make sure that renovations lead to higher energy and resource efficiency. The choice of appropriate thermal insulation materials is one of the simplest and, at the same time, the most popular strategies that effectively reduce the energy demand of buildings. Today, the spectrum of insulation materials is quite wide, and each material has its own specific characteristics. It is recognized that the selection of materials is one of the most challenging and difficult steps of a building project. This paper aims to give an in-depth view of existing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) applications for the selection of insulation materials and to provide major insights in order to simplify the process of methods and criteria selection for future research. A systematic literature review is performed based on the Search, Appraisal, Synthesis and Analysis (SALSA) framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. In order to determine which MCDM method is the most appropriate for different questions, the main advantages and disadvantages of different methods are provided.

AbstractPain is a significant problem in medicine. The use of PGx markers to personalize postoperative analgesia can increase its effectiveness and avoid undesirable reactions. This article describes the mechanisms of nociception and antinociception and shows the pathophysiological mechanisms of pain in the human body. The main subject of this article is pharmacogenetic approach to the selection of anesthetics. Current review presents data for local and general anesthetics, opioids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. None of the anesthetics currently has clinical guidelines for pharmacogenetic testing. This literature review summarizes the results of original research available, to date, and draws attention to this area.

There is a clear trend of a hardening attitude towards digital platforms. In Australia this trend is exemplified by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s current inquiry specifically into digital platforms. Further, it can also be seen in court decisions. Having discussed one such court decision, we give a brief overview of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s digital platforms inquiry. We then seek to bring attention to a selection of particularly relevant European developments that may usefully inform how Australia proceeds in this arena and that may be considered in the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s final report due to be provided to the Treasurer on 3 June 2019.

Healthy snacks are snacks that are clean, safe, healthy, and nutritious. The food safety of snacks sold in school environment cannot be guaranteed, so it can cause food poisoning among children. The importance of food safety knowledge can be used to prevent food poisoning from contamination such as biological, chemical, or physical contamination. Based on several studies, healthy snacks education can improve children’s knowledge and attitudes that related to the selection of healthy snacks by using various media. The purpose of this literature review is to determine the eff ect of nutrition education on knowledge and attitudes of elementary students in the selection of healthy snacks. This literature study included the articles which used experimental study with pre-test and post-test in elementary students as the subject. There are ten selected articles that were included in the review. The results indicated that nutrition education about healthy snacks could improve knowledge of students in selecting healthy snacks. Moreover, there were 6 articles showed that nutrition education could improve the attitudes of students in the selection of healthy snacks as well. Nutrition education can infl uence the knowledge and attitudes of elementary students in the selection of healthy snacks.

Selection Of

Terdapat beberapa petirtaan di Jawa Tengah yang merupakan bagian integral dari sebuah candi. Fenomena ini dapat dilihat pada tata ruang Candi Ngempon yang terletak tidak jauh dari Petirtaan Derekan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan kitab Manasara-Silpasastra yang memengaruhi tata letak petirtaan dengan suatu candi sebagai satu bagian integral. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan analisis data sekunder yang diperoleh dari studi pustaka dan wawancara. Data sekunder tersebut kemudian menjadi dasar dilakukannya crosscheck dengan melakukan pengamatan lapangan. Dari metode tersebut diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa tata ruang Pechaka dalam Manasara[1]Silpasastra diduga menjadi dasar pemilihan letak Candi Ngempon yang berada di sisi timur laut Petirtaan Derekan sehingga menunjukan adanya penerapan kitab Manasara-Silpasastra dalam kasus ini There are several petirtaans or bathing structures in Central Java that become an integral part of a temple complex. Such a phenomenon can be seen in the layout of Ngempon Temple and Petirtaan Derekan which are located close to each other. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the book of Manasara-Silpasastra in the layout of Petirtaan Derekan and Ngempon Temple as an integrated whole. The research was carried out by analyzing secondary data obtained from a literature review and interviews. The secondary data were corroborated with data obtained from field observations. Results of the analysis indicate that the layout of Pechaka in Manasara-Silpasastra might become the basis for the positioning of Ngempon Temple at the northeast of Petirtaan Derekan. This shows that the book of Manasara-Silpasastra might be implemented in the layout of the complex of Ngempon temple.

Selection Of

Areal 3D analysis of surface texture gives more opportunities than a study of 2D profiles. Surface topography evaluation, considered as 3D dimensional analysis in micro or nanoscales, plays an important role in many fields of science and life. Among many texture parameters, those connected with height are the most often used. However, there are many other parameters and functions that can provide additional important information regarding functional behaviour of surfaces in different applications. The knowledge about the functional importance of various surface properties is low. This review tries to fill this gap. Surface texture parameters are presented in various groups: height, spatial, hybrid, functional, feature, and others. Based on experiences of the present authors and literature review, the relationships among various surface parameters and functional properties are described. A proposal of a selection of parameters on the basis of their functional significations is provided. Considerations for future challenges are addressed.
