The modelling and simulation of fracture networks is a critical component of the assessment of hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal resources and of the design and creation of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). The production of geothermal energy from an EGS depends on fluid pathways through the HDR and thus connectivity of fractures is essential. One way of assessing and modelling fracture connectivi...

This article evaluates the use of emulsion gels (EGs) containing two different solid polyphenol extracts [from grape seed (R-EPG) or and olive (R-EPGO)] as animal fat replacers in development frankfurters. The incorporation EGs improved their lipid content, particularly R-EPG R-EPGO also contained high levels phenolic compounds (hydroxytyrosol flavanols). These frankfurters were judged acceptab...

v practice and, whilst going at a gallop, dropped his weapon. The horse stepped on the butt end and the point flew up, penetrated his saddle wallet and entered his abdomen just above the pubes, the weapon breaking off about eighteen inches down. The broken shaft and steel portion was withdrawn from abdomen, and the patient sent in to hospital at once. An hour after the accident his condition wa...

THE MARKETING SCIENCE INSTITUTE (MSI) recently released Empirical Generalizations about Marketing Impact, the eighth volume in its Relevant Knowledge Series. The book contains more than 80 empirical generalizations (EGs), contributed by about 60 academics from around the world. Each EG is summarized and documented in a standard one-page format. To the extent possible, the EGs are quantified usi...

Background and Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to describe the physiotherapy management of a patient with overactivity of the pelvic-floor muscles with a limited number of visits and a focus on selfmanagement strategies. Electrogalvanic stimulation (EGS) has been established as a safe and effective treatment for the management of levator ani syndrome (LAS). There is a paucity of rec...

The development of highly reliable downhole equipment is an essential element in enabling the widespread utilization of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The equipment used in these systems is required to operate at high voltages and temperatures on the order of 200 to 250°C (and eventually to 300 ̊C). These conditions exceed the practical operating ranges of currently available thermoplastic w...

Surface quality of the steel slabs in a Continuous Casting (C.C.) process is mainly determined by the stability of the Mold Level Control (MLC). Excessive mold level fluctuations lead to an additional machine scarfing process which is applied to the slabs to avoid surface defects. A conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is not robust enough to deal with the disturbances...

This paper presents an analysis of the use of iron and steel in the UK and explores how much of the iron and steel is recycled when it becomes obsolete after use. The first part of this paper series investigated production and consumption trends of iron and steel in the UK, whereas this paper focuses on scrap generation and recycling. Information on the amounts of iron and steel going into diff...
