Assessment of tobacco heating product THP1.0. Part 2: Product design, operation and thermophysical characterisation

Product operation and joint interval valued observable

The aim of this paper is to define the productoperation on a family of interval valued events and the notion ofjoint interval valued observable. We show the connection betweenproduct operations for interval valued events and intuitionisticfuzzy events, too. We display the relation between joint intervalvalued observable and joint intuitionistic fuzzy observable. We...

Electronic cigarettes: product characterisation and design considerations

OBJECTIVE To review the available evidence regarding electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) product characterisation and design features in order to understand their potential impact on individual users and on public health. METHODS Systematic literature searches in 10 reference databases were conducted through October 2013. A total of 14 articles and documents and 16 patents were included in thi...

ADDITIVES, CIGARETTE DESIGN and TOBACCO PRODUCT REGULATION

Brave new world in tobacco product design.

Tobacco product manufacturers keep trying. Since the 1950s, they have repeatedly sought to wrap their products in the appearance of reduced risk, if not health protection (1). First, it was “king-size” length, and then filters. One of the most prominent of the early filter brands (Kent) used cr0cidolite as the filtering agent (2). After filters lost their charm, “low tar” was the selling point,...

Optimal Operation of a Three-Product Dividing-Wall Column with Self-Optimizing Control Structure Design

This paper deals with optimal operation of a three-product Dividing-Wall Column (DWC). The main idea is to design a control structure, through a systematic procedure for plantwide control, with an objective to achieve desired product purities with the minimum use of energy. Exact local method is used to find the best controlled variables as single measurement or combination of measurements ...
