carbon capture and storage (ccs) systems have relevant energy consumption associated with the co2 capture process. it causes an energy efficiency reduction that diminishes the economic interests and increases the technical uncertainty of these systems. with the objective of improving the system perform-ance and reducing thermodynamic inefficiencies, the exergy analysis has been traditionally ap...

The reference to ethnicity in the 2012 National Suicide Prevention Strategy for England (1) is mainly with regard to promoting mental health in Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. However, there is little detailed information about any specific strategy to reduce suicide rates in BME groups. The Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan for Northern Ireland has only one brief reference re...

Radiosurgery can be defined as 3-dimensional stereotactic irradiation of small intracranial targets by various radiation techniques. The goal is to deliver, with great accuracy, a large, single fraction dose to a small intracranial target, while minimizing the absorbed dose in the surrounding tissue. This article describes certain technical aspects of radiosurgery and compares the different met...

The decline in religious identification and corresponding increase in the unaffiliated has been one of the most important religious changes in the United Kingdom (UK). The emergence of the “religious nones” is the most obvious sign of continuing secularization and the declining social and cultural relevance of religion. Yet while the religiously-unaffiliated often form the plurality — if not so...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for evaluating the relative efficiency of a set of firms in a production process. Estimation of cost efficiency is one of the branches of performance evaluation. Cost efficiency evaluates the ability of producing current output with minimum available cost. Now let's assume that there are several groups of firms that operate separately and have differe...

emerging technologies such as biotheraputics are widely view as the source of new types of competitive advantage. despite their huge potential gaining advantages from these technologies requires adopting different types of managerial skills and insight than those utilized in the context of incremental improvements. this makes established firms particularly vulnerable to the challenges of these ...

The great development witnessed by our current age has led to the emergence of many diverse modern technologies, one of these advanced technologies is Hologram technology and Augmented reality technology, These two technologies are somewhat similar to somewhat, as it can be said that they perform almost the same purpose, and at the same time, Hologram technology differs from augmented reality i...
