We examine the emerging forest bioeconomy as an integrated, multi-product industrial ecosystem, where traditional pulp mills allocate use of side streams to independent biochemical companies manufacturing bioproducts in vicinity mills. Biochemical benefit from proximity by receiving wood-based at lower costs, and same time, having a new source revenue selling streams. focus on economic interact...

Voltage sag compensator is very important in power quality. Its performance also depends on the types of sag detection techniques used. Sag detection technique determines the dynamic performance of a voltage-sag compensator. Many techniques have been introduced to measure and to detect voltage sag, such as RMS-Value Evaluation and Peak-Value Evaluation. Unfortunately, most of the techniques req...

Suitable voltage sag objectives are not yet found in any standard document. One of the reasons for the lack of objectives is the difficulty of defining suitable site sag indices. In this paper present sag characterisation methods are reviewed and discussed. The University of Wollongong sag index is summarized which shows a better way of characterizing voltage sags. A new method is then given fo...

The paper industry is adopting zero liquid effluent technologies to reduce freshwater use and meet environmental regulations, which implies closure of water circuits and the progressive accumulation of pollutants that must be removed before water reuse and final wastewater discharge. The traditional water treatment technologies that are used in paper mills (such as dissolved air flotation or bi...

Contractile properties and conduction velocity were studied in 202 single motor units of intact rat triceps surae muscles activated by intra-axonal (or intra-myelin) current injection in L5 or L6 ventral root to assess the factors that determine the expression of sag (i.e., decline in force after initial increase during unfused tetanic stimulation). Sag was consistently detected in motor units ...

Previous studies point out a large (untapped) potential for energy efficiency in industry through the adoption of energy management practices. The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze energy management practices in two different Swedish energyintensive industries: the pulp and paper industry and the foundry industry. The results show that one third of the studied mills and about two fif...

There is a general agreement between researchers that particle size of poultry feed should be between the size ranges of 600-900 µm. This study investigated the particle size of poultry feed produced in the Dormaa Municipality of Ghana. A survey was conducted on various feed mills which were made up of nine on-farm mills and five community-based commercial mills. Feed samples were collected fro...

Custom Power devices like Dynamic voltage restorer and STATCOM are normally employed as a solution for mitigation of power quality problems like voltage sag and swell. In this paper new voltage sag compensators based on an autotransformer and an IGBT switched by PWM technique and Hysteresis Voltage Control (HVC) method are compared. These two schemes are able to recognize the voltage sag condit...

SAG (salivary agglutinin), which is identical to gp-340 (glycoprotein-340) from the lung, is encoded by DMBT1 (deleted in malignant brain tumours 1). It is a member of the SRCR (scavenger receptor cysteine-rich) superfamily and contains 14 SRCR domains, 13 of which are highly similar. SAG in saliva is partially complexed with IgA, which may be necessary for bacterial binding. The goal of the pr...
