The paper provides projections for US newsprint demand up to 2020. First, various specifications of the standard model used in forest product demand literature, which we call the classical model, were estimated using annual data from 1971–2000. The results indicated that structural change in the newsprint consumption pattern took place at the end of the 1980s. The classical model fails to expla...

Gas phase treatments of dry-fiberized newsprint were investigated as a way to impmve intefibre bonding and thereby to minimize the use of water for recycling newsprint. Chlorine dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone were studied as gaseous oxidizing agents. The report includes the results of an optimization study for the ozone treatment and results of experiments designed to establish the mechan...

BACKGROUND A/H1N1, more commonly referred to as swine flu, emerged in Mexico in spring 2009. It rapidly spread across the world and was classed as a global pandemic on 11 June 2009. OBJECTIVE To analyse UK newsprint coverage of the swine flu pandemic. METHODS Content analysis of 2374 newsprint articles published in eight UK national newspapers between 1 March 2009 and 28 February 2010. RE...

this study was aimed to investigate the possibility of using magnesium hydroxide as an alternative for sodium hydroxide in deinking of newsprint and magazine mixture. the old newsprint and magazine mixture (onp/omg -70/30) was treated by magnesium hydroxide at three levels: 1, 1.5 and 2 percent (based on oven dried pulp weight), for 20 min. optical and mechanical properties and effluent cod loa...

BACKGROUND A previous study suggested that, among children, a clear urine sample accurately rules out urinary tract infection. The aim of this study was to replicate this previous study done in an adult female population. METHODS We analyzed 100 anonymous urine samples from female patients ages 18 to 50 years who were receiving care in a university hospital system. Urine samples were tested f...

Three types of proximity are argued to be present in the research material in this paper. First, put simply, geographic proximity refers to two entities being physically next to each other. Second, cultural proximity refers to two entities being relationally close to one another, with geographic proximity often not being required. Third, network proximity refers to two entities being associated...
