Traceable Value for Proficiency Test of Natural Gas

Proficiency testing for blood-gas quality control.

We have conducted a voluntary, community blood-gas proficiency testing program, with use of tonometered human blood, for 32 analyzers located in 16 laboratories. Instruments initially showed inaccuracies as large as -30.8 to +17.3% for po(2), and -14.0 to +42.9% for pco(2), but inaccuracy and imprecision decreased in most laboratories during the program. For a typical 15-week period, mean group...

Optimization models for the natural gas value chain

conditional copula-garch methods for value at risk of portfolio: the case of tehran stock exchange market

ارزش در معرض ریسک یکی از مهمترین معیارهای اندازه گیری ریسک در بنگاه های اقتصادی می باشد. برآورد دقیق ارزش در معرض ریسک موضوع بسیارمهمی می باشد و انحراف از آن می تواند موجب ورشکستگی و یا عدم تخصیص بهینه منابع یک بنگاه گردد. هدف اصلی این مطالعه بررسی کارایی روش copula-garch شرطی در برآورد ارزش در معرض ریسک پرتفویی متشکل از دو سهام می باشد و ارزش در معرض ریسک بدست آمده با روشهای سنتی برآورد ارزش د...

Simulation of Bioreactors for PHB Production from Natural Gas

Recently, many economic studies of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) PHB production on an industrial scale, and the impact of replacing petrochemical polymers by PHB were carried out, clearly indicating that the most crucial factors to reduce the cost of producing biopolymers are allotted to the application of microbial production strains capable of high productivi...

Investigation of CO2 and H2O Addition to Natural Gas for Production of Synthesis Gas

General modeling and optimization of syngas production via noncatalytic autothermal partial oxidation of methane are carried out using our developed scientific software which was based on the minimization of total Gibbs energy. In this work, a novel application of the direct search and Newton-Raphson methods was introduced to apply to optimization of a complex chemical reaction. Sensitivity ana...
